Genetic Testing Before Recommending AREDS?

From the American Academy of Ophthalmology

The January issue of Ophthalmology tackles the ongoing debate over the value of genotyping patients with wet AMD before recommending AREDS supplementation. An editorial considers whether clinicians should follow the recommendations of Dr. Carl Awh and test patients to determine what supplements they should take or whether to follow the guidance of Dr. Emily Chew and recommend AREDS supplements without engaging in genetic testing. Ophthalmology, January 2015
