Diets rich in omega-3 fatty acids (DHA\/EPA) have been shown to lower the risk of macular degeneration. A 2025 review confirmed that <strong>diets high in omega<\/strong><strong>\u2011<\/strong><strong>3 PUFAs are associated with a 38% lower risk of late stage macular degeneration<\/strong>. Another study (Frontiers in Nutrition, 2024) found that <strong>higher omega<\/strong><strong>\u2011<\/strong><strong>3 levels reduce the risk of both early and advanced\nAMD (age-related macular degeneration).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What does science recommend for daily life?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Include in your diet: <strong>Fatty fish<\/strong> (salmon, sardines), <strong>leafy green vegetables<\/strong> (spinach, kale), <strong>fruits rich in antioxidants, nuts and seeds<\/strong>.
