Actuality. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a progressive eye disease in which
the physiological function of the choriocapillaries, Bruch's membrane and retinal pigment
epithelium (PES) is impaired, a defect in the photoreceptor layer and irreversible central
vision occurs. Primary open-angle glaucoma is a pathological process characterized by a
violation of the hydrodynamics of the intraocular fluid and damage to the optic nerve,
despite the fact that the anterior chamber angle is open. In this disease, intraocular
pressure (IOP) often rises, and peripheral vision decreases, depending on the level of
compression of the retinal layer. According to the WHO statistics, POAG is complicated by
the "dry" form of AMD in 41% of cases, that is, a significant combination of the two above-
mentioned pathologies can be observed in clinical practice. Consumption of foods rich in
antioxidant micronutrients for the prevention and treatment of chronic degenerative eye
diseases such as primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG ) and senile macular degeneration
(AMD) shortens the rehabilitation period. The mechanisms of development of pathological
processes (especially inflammation, degeneration) are different, but among them the main
point is the violation of the antioxidant defense system as a result of detoxification.
Key words: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), primary open-angle glaucoma
(POAG), vitamins, antioxidants, partially oxidized free radicals, healthy diet.
In ophthalmology, modern methods are used to diagnose and treat retinal diseases,
however, such methods of treatment require active dynamic control by a specialist, are
expensive and cause discomfort in patients. Unfortunately, degenerative eye diseases of
the retina are now common among developed countries, but regular dynamic monitoring
of visual functions through periodic medical examinations and adherence to a healthy
lifestyle is an adequate prevention of the disease. Epidemiological and clinical studies
have shown that diets that retain antioxidant supplements prevent or slow the progression
of retinal pathologies (especially AMD and POAG). Antioxidants (vitamins C, E, beta-
carotene, zinc, copper and omega-3 fatty acids) neutralize and even inhibit partially
oxidized free radicals and macromolecules. As a result, local inflammatory processes are
significantly blocked in age-related degenerative diseases of the retina. Patient age,
genetic predisposition, and smoking are key factors in the development of AMD. On the
other hand, an antioxidant diet along with a healthy diet reduces the risk of developing
retinal pathologies such as AMD.
In the field of ophthalmology, a form of nutrition that retains antioxidant mineral and
vitamin supplements is socially simple and economically very inexpensive. This method
involves the consumption of natural products and can be used at home. As a result, it is
widely used among the elderly to prevent degenerative eye diseases, which are the
