Description
Inês Figueiredo and co-authors present a narrative review, published in 2024, on matching diet advice to genes in a leading cause of vision loss. Age-related macular degeneration damages the center of the retina in older adults, driven by genes, environment, and diet together. Nutritional genomics studies how gene variants change what nutrients do, and the review asks what that means for this disease.
Landmark supplement trials showed certain vitamins and minerals slow progression to advanced disease. Gene findings now refine that picture: variants in one immune gene may strengthen zinc's calming effect, while a fat handling gene changes responses to omega-3 fats. The authors chart a path toward eye care diets tuned to each patient's genetic profile.
