“…Some studies have outlined the potential nutritional or dietary influences on AMD risk [7,[16][17][18][19]. Data emerging from the Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS), advocates a healthy diet with supplementation of zinc, lutein/zeaxanthin and vitamins C and E, as an effective strategy for reducing AMD progression from its early to visually-disabling late stage [16].…”

Background Analysing dietary patterns (DP) evaluates overall dietary intake, taking account of its complexity, quality, variance and the interaction between different foods, providing an alternative approach for the evaluation of nutritional influences on agerelated macular degeneration (AMD) risk. Aims To evaluate the relationship between DP and AMD in an older female population. Methods Data was analysed from the cross-sectional Irish Nun Eye Study involving 1233 older women with a restricted lifestyle (mean age 76.3 years [range, 56-100 years). The Wisconsin Age-related Maculopathy Grading System was used to classify digital colour macular fundus images and dietary intake was assessed using a food frequency questionnaire (n = 1033). A posteriori DP were derived using principal component analysis. Logistic regression models examined associations between DP and AMD risk with adjustment for confounders. Results Two DP were identified: a 'healthy' pattern characterised by a high intake of oily fish, wholegrains, vegetables and fruit; and an 'unhealthy' pattern characterised by high-fat dairy products, sugar, sweets and chips. Of the participants included within the analysis, AMD status were categorised as controls (n = 818, 86.9%), early AMD (n = 83, 8.8%) and late AMD (n = 21, 2.2%). Regression analysis failed to identify any significant associations between healthy or unhealthy DP and AMD risk, in unadjusted and adjusted models. Conclusion No evidence of an association between the DP identified and AMD risk was detected in this well-characterised population. Further research is required to determine the overall dietary influences on AMD risk in general population cohorts.

“…Previous studies have reported that people with visual impairment (VI) do not consume enough dairy products, meats and wholegrains (1) and do not consider the nutritional value of food before purchase (2,3) . It has been reported that people with macular degeneration in the UK do not consume the recommended daily amounts of nutrients for their age group (3) . It has also been reported that those with ocular conditions such as macular degeneration and glaucoma do not have nutritious diets and are unsure about what foods they should consume to maintain optimal eye health (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13) .…”

Globally, a high prevalence of obesity and undernutrition has been reported in people with visual impairment (VI) who have reported multi-factorial obstacles that prevent them from achieving a healthy diet, such as having restricted shopping and cooking abilities. The present study is the first to investigate the relationship between VI and dietary consumption using a representative sample size, standardised methods to categorise VI and a detailed analysis of dietary consumption. Ninety-six participants with VI and an age-matched control group of fifty participants were recruited from across the UK. All participants were aged 50 years or over. The participants completed a 24-h food recall for a period of 3 d. The participants also answered questions about their abilities to shop for and cook food as well as their knowledge of healthy eating. The participants with VI in this sample consumed significantly fewer energy content and other nutrients than is recommended for their age group and when compared with an age-matched control group. The participants with VI mainly made food choices irrespective of nutritional value. The results of the present study highlight for the first time that a large proportion of older adults with VI in the UK are undernourished. These results suggest local and government-led initiatives should be implemented to support the diets of older adults in the UK, and these initiatives could include healthy eating workshops, café clubs or skills training and rehabilitation.

“…A nutrient component analysis of British people with and without AMD found the AMD group to have a reduced daily L/Z intake from food of 1.4 mg, which was not sufficient compared with the recommended amount of 10 mg/day for macular augmentation. 46 The study also found that the ability to cook hot meals significantly increased L/Z intake, suggesting that the lack of cooking facilities or skills reduced L/Z intake. The AMD group in this study also consumed significantly fewer calories per day, indicating the possibility of a lack of essential nutrients.…”

A systematic literature review was conducted to evaluate the role of diet and food intake in age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Eighteen high-quality studies were identified. Adherence to a Mediterranean diet had decreased risk of AMD progression. An Oriental diet pattern had decreased association with AMD prevalence, whereas a Western diet pattern had increased association with AMD prevalence. High consumption of vegetables rich in carotenoids and fatty fish containing omega-3 fatty acids was beneficial for those at risk of AMD. Vegetable oils and animal fats containing omega-6 fatty acids, and red/processed meat should be consumed minimally to reduce the risk of AMD progression. High glycaemic index diets and alcohol consumption of greater than two drinks a day had increased association with AMD. As the quality of diet and food intake had a vital role in AMD, the provision of appropriate nutritional advice to those at risk of AMD is recommended.
