Lutein Supplementation and RP

Below are the results of a study on Lutein supplementation and RP. This is not news, the late Grace Halloran advocated this twenty years ago. However, this is the first time a formal study has been completed. Grace advised me to do this almost ten years ago. I feel, if I had been disciplined and stayed the course, my vision would be much better.
