U.S. researchers found that antioxidants disrupt a link between two processes in the retina that, in combination, contribute to macular degeneration. Antioxidants also extend the lifetime of irreplaceable photoreceptors and other retinal cells.
“The implication is that people at risk of macular degeneration could help prevent the disease by consuming antioxidants,” study author Heidi Vollmer-Snarr, a Brigham Young chemist, said in a university news release.
