A National Eye Institute Study shows a reduced risk of AMD while using B-vitamins

In a seven-year cardiovascular disease trial involving more than 5,200 women over the age of 40, folic acid, vitamins B-6 and B-12 were given daily to half the subjects.  The other half were given a placebo.  The group who received the vitamins ended up with a 41% decrease in the incidence of macular degeneration.

All the women in the trial reported that they did not have macular degeneration at the study's start.  Even though the study involved only women, the researchers say, the findings probably apply to all elderly people, regardless of gender.
