All For Eyes is honoured to have Dr Leong Seng Kee to speak to us on the topic of nutritional supplements and AMD. Those of us with macular degeneration have certainly read many reports on the pros and con of vitamin and herbal supplements. Which ones, what dosages, and how often, are questions which we have all faced after our diagnosis.

We are all concerned with getting a clearer picture of current thinking on nutritional supplements, particularly from a more holistic perspective. We are therefore very grateful that Dr Leong has agreed to share his lifetime of insights with us.

Before his retirement from the National University of Singapore, Dr. Leong was Professor and Head of the Department of Anatomy. His special research interest is the human nervous system, including the projection of the eye to the brain. He has published more than 100 research papers in internationally refereed journals.

For many years Dr Leong has also maintained an interest in the area of nutritional supplements and general health. His friend of 40 years, Victor Wong (senior legal practitioner) said of him: "When Dr. Leong tells you something he means what he says and you will not regret taking him seriously".
