This trial is testing whether goji berries — a fruit used in traditional medicine for thousands of years — can help protect your central vision as you age. The study focuses on a special part of your eye that filters light and protects against damage. Researchers want to see if eating goji berries regularly can strengthen your eye's natural defenses and slow vision loss.
Age-related macular degeneration is a leading cause of blindness in older adults, and there is currently no proven way to prevent it. This medication contains high levels of protective compounds that previous small studies suggest may help strengthen the eye's defenses, but we need to test this in a larger group of people to know if it really works.

You will be randomly assigned to eat either goji berries or a fiber supplement (which has similar fiber content) for about 6 months. You'll need to consume your assigned food regularly and avoid eating large amounts of other leafy greens and eggs that contain similar protective compounds. The study will measure changes in your eye's protective pigment layer and may include blood tests and samples to understand how the treatment works.
