DOI : 10.37845/ret.vit.2022.31.16 Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a health problem that can severely impair the quality of life due to irreversible vision loss in the later stage of the disease. While the etiology of AMD involves the presence of unchangeable factors such as genes and age, changeable factors, including diet and smoking, also exist. As the importance of oxidative processes and inflammation has been shown in the physiopathology of AMD, approaches such as regular use of formulations containing anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory substances in appropriate doses, diet regulation, and quitting smoking are important for repressing its progression. Keywords : Age-related macular degeneration, micronutrition, anti-oxidant, resveratrol, omega-3 fatty acids, carotenoids
