It's purely Age related Condition so in this cases only supplement works . You shoud do proper check up of your mother to findout her Visual status.

visit any eye hospital for detail eye examination
Dry macular degeneration is the leading cause of blindness in older adults. Unfortunately there is no cure or surgery available to revert the damage caused. But there are many promising treatments or lifestyle changes that could slow down the process. A healthy balanced diet with Omega 3 fatty acid, leafy vegetables etc, supplements, regular exercise, Using sunglasses as a protection against UV and avoiding smoking, could really help.
There is no proper cure but treatments are available to slow down it's progression. Will suggest after a proper & detailed checkup
As of 2025, There’s no treatment that can restore lost vision from dry AMD but early detection and intervention can dramatically slow damage.
-Lifestyle changesStop smoking, maintain healthy weight, control blood pressure/cholesterol, protect eyes from UV light, and eat a diet rich in leafy greens and omega-3 fatty acids.
