Role of B Vitamins in Preventing the Development and Progression of Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: No current treatments are curative for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and preventing disease progression is challenging. Dietary factors play a role in the course of macular degeneration, and management of AMD commonly includes nutraceuticals (e.g., supplementation with a combination of antioxidant vitamins and minerals). This commentary summarizes the existing literature, emerging evidence, and upcoming research on the role of B vitamins in both preventing the development of AMD and slowing its progression.
