Avoid fish oil (omega 3) like the plague. Avoid all polyunsaturated fats, including olive oil (1/2 teaspoon/day OK). Use coconut oil instead.Anybody has / had this? Could you give me advice what helps? I don’t want to end up blind on this eye.
Advices how to get there ?Exploring the link between thyroid hormones and vision loss - On Medicine
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a major cause of vision loss in older people. Here, we speak to Layal Chaker and Robin Peeters, authors of a recent study published in BMC Medicine, about why thyroid function and AMD may be linked, and the clinical implications of their findings.blogs.biomedcentral.com
Make sure your tsh and free t4 aren’t high and free t3 is. That would be a good start.
Motif, my wife has a genetic defect that prevents her from converting beta carotine to vitamin A. it will give her macular degeneration as she ages unless she takes vitamin A. of course she does! perhaps you have a couple of these mutations. If you do this is a simple fix.

So sorry. I'm dealing with vision loss as well. Have you been "officially" diagnosed? Are you in the US? Here in the US I find getting a diagnosis is the hardest part of being an ophthalmic patient because the field is very fragmented. I've tried many things but think I've narrowed my condition down to an inherited disorder involving the ocular nerves. I'm deep into trying to narrow it down right now but first thing, get all your basic vitamins in order, a, d, k, b's. and I am taking Methylne Blue.Anybody has / had this?

Germany. And yeah it’s official. Let me know in some months if it helped you pls!So sorry. I'm dealing with vision loss as well. Have you been "officially" diagnosed? Are you in the US?

An easy fix. Look at the recent research on red light and macular degeneration.
Basically, a little red light exposure on your closed eye lids, 2-3 minutes everyday should arrest and reverse the course of macular degeneration pretty quickly.
does it need to be a special red light or will every redlight led do have a positive effect ?
Considering red light increases ATP in retina cells and PUFAs basically prevent proper energy production, the link is evident. But PUFAs are a driving force behind all pathologies so no surprise.
Thanks!
So it really seem to need more specific light.
i have those colour-switch lightbulbs where you can switch to red too and use the red light all the time. Too bad this seems to be not helpful
