摘要
Age-related macular degeneration is a disease of the eye in the elderly population usually leading to blindness. Besides age smoking, elevated blood lipids, hypertension and diabetes are risk factors for the development of the disease. Epidemiological studies have demonstrated that a frequent intake of seafood and antioxidants seems to prevent development of this disease. Studies are ongoing where omega-3 concentrates alone or in combination with lutein are tested in patients with early stage of age-related macular degeneration.
