What Is The Reason For Macular Degeneration As I Take Healthy Food With Rich Fiber?

I just got the diagnosis of macular degeneration and wonder if taking 2 tab of ground flax seed 5 days a week for the last 3 years could have contributed to it. One eye is dry and the is wet. I eat very healthy taking 25 grams of fiber per day and lots of fruits and vegetables.
