Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a multifactorial disorder influenced by genetic, lifestyle, nutritional, and systemic health factors that contribute to increased oxidative stress chronic inflammation in the retina. This article reviews recent literature on modifiable lifestyle risk for development progression of AMD. Smoking (current former), physical inactivity, prolonged sunlight exposure, as well conditions such diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, obesity have all been associated with an early AMD its progression. The Age-Related Eye Disease Studies (AREDS AREDS2) shown specific combination vitamins E C, zinc, copper, lutein, zeaxanthin can significantly reduce progressing from dry wet form. Additionally, adherence Mediterranean diet, rich vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains, nuts, has linked lower both late Emerging evidence suggests these benefits may be gut microbiota, genetic epigenetic factors. Further research into interactions between could pave way targeted therapies aimed at preventing or slowing
