Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) Follow-Up This study is a 5-year extension of the AREDS protocol, in which investigators followed the natural course of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts. Participants in the former AREDS protocol are eligible for this study. Participants have a complete eye examination once a year and are contacted at least once a year between visits to check on their status. The eye examination includes measurement of visual acuity (vision chart test) and examination of the inside of the eye after the pupils have been dilated with eye drops. Photographs of the inside of the eye may be taken using a special camera that flashes a bright light in the eye. A blood sample may be obtained to test for cholesterol level and genes related to inflammation.

与年龄有关的眼病研究（AREDS）随访 这项研究是AREDS方案的5年延长，其中研究人员遵循与年龄相关的黄斑变性（AMD）和白内障的自然过程。以前的AREDS协议的参与者有资格参加这项研究。 参与者每年进行一次完整的眼科检查，并且每年至少在访问之间进行一次联系以检查其状态。眼睛检查包括测量视力（视觉图表测试），并用眼滴扩张学生后，对眼睛的内部进行检查。可以使用特殊的相机拍摄眼睛内部的照片，该专用相机在眼睛中闪烁明亮的光线。可以获得血液样本以测试胆固醇水平和与炎症有关的基因。
