Antioxidants and neurodegenerative eye disease.
Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition 2023 June 14
Neurodegenerative ocular disorders mostly develop with aging and present great complications in the quality of life. Glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) rank as the third and fourth leading causes of blindness and low vision. Oxidative stress is one factor in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative eye disease. In addition, ocular ischemia and neuroinflammation play an important role. It can be hypothesized that the influence of antioxidants through diet or oral supplementation can counteract the harmful effects of reactive oxygen species accumulated secondary to oxidative stress, ischemia, and inflammation. A range of studies has been published over the past decades focusing on the possible adjuvant effect of antioxidants in ARMD, while there were fewer reports on the potential role of antioxidants in glaucoma. Although certain reports demonstrated positive results, others were discouraging. As there is a controversy between the studies favoring and disfavoring supplementation with different types of antioxidants, it is important to revise the existing evidence on the role of antioxidants in neurodegenerative ocular disorders with a special focus on glaucoma and ARMD.
