Just reading the abstract, it doesn't look like they actually found anything new except that Beta carotene may increase risk for lung cancer in former smokers. It looks like it just validates the formula that Macular Health has been using for about a decade.

Quote from the NEI about what the study means:

"Adding omega-3 fatty acids did not improve a combination of nutritional supplements commonly recommended for treating age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a major cause of vision loss among older Americans, according to a study from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The plant-derived antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin also had no overall effect on AMD when added to the combination; however, they were safer than the related antioxidant beta-carotene, according to the study published online today in the Journal of the American Medical Association."

Still not a bad group to be partnered with.
