The beta-carotenoids, lutein and zeaxanthin, have been evidenced to reduce the risk of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and may therefore provide similar benefits to people with cone dystrophy.Consuming omega-3 fatty acids (docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid) has been correlated with a reduced progression of early AMD, and in conjunction with low glycemic index foods, with reduced progression of advanced AMD, and may therefore delay the progression of cone dystrophy. Dr. Randall Walker, who has a variation of the condition himself, invented a software to enable low vision people to read with greater ease.<ref>url= https://www.bizjournals.com/twincities/print-edition/2014/06/06/made-at-mayo-mayo-professor-doubles-as-founder-of.html <ref>
