What role do dietary factors play in AMD prevention?
Dietary factors can significantly influence the risk of developing AMD. Diets rich in antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, zinc, and carotenoids (lutein and zeaxanthin), have been shown to reduce the risk of AMD progression. These nutrients help neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress in the retina. Additionally, omega-3 fatty acids found in fish may also have protective effects against AMD by reducing inflammation and maintaining retinal health.
