I was diagnosed early dry AMD/early Glaucoma at the end of 2015. Since then i am using various eye drops for Glaucoma and some vitamins for early dry AMD.

Now I have a question about the adverse effects of elecric bulbs. Here in Pakistan, Energy Savers bulbs were introduced quite some time back in place of old electric bulbs which were being used since long. Now Energy Saver bulbs are also becoming an item of the past as LED bulbs have come in since possibly more than a year back. These changes might have taken place in Europe/ USA etc as wel. What I want to know is whether these new inventions (electric bulbs) are safe for the eyes especialy when the old people like me are already having eye ailments? Any views on it.

    Yeah, they are safe for eyes. But if you developed AMD, then it will have affect on your eyes regardless.
