Journal ArticleDOI

The Role of Oxidative Stress in the Pathogenesis of Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Stephen Beatty, +4 more
- 01 Sep 2000 - 
TL;DR: The concept that AMD can be attributed to cumulative oxidative stress is enticing, but remains unproven, and the effect of nutritional antioxidant supplements on the onset and natural course of age-related macular disease is currently being evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multi-country real-life experience of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy for wet age-related macular degeneration

Frank G. Holz, +12 more
- 01 Feb 2015 - 
TL;DR: Anti-VEGF treatment resulted in an initial improvement in visual acuity; however, this was not maintained over time and in clinical practice, fewer injections are administered than in clinical trials.
Journal Article

Macular pigment and risk for age-related macular degeneration in subjects from a Northern European population.

Stephen Beatty, +5 more
- 01 Feb 2001 - 
TL;DR: The two most important risk factors for AMD are associated with a relative absence of MP, consistent with the hypothesis that supplemental lutein and zeaxanthin may delay, avert, or modify the course of this disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Macular pigment and age related macular degeneration

Stephen Beatty, +4 more
- 01 Jul 1999 - 
TL;DR: The current literature germane to macular pigment and AMD is reviewed, and the evidence that retinal carotenoids are protective against AMD is examined to indicate that oxidative damage plays a role.
Journal ArticleDOI

Changes in macular pigment optical density and serum concentrations of its constituent carotenoids following supplemental lutein and zeaxanthin : The LUNA study

Meike Trieschmann, +7 more
- 01 Apr 2007 - 
TL;DR: Results suggest that saturable mechanisms play a role in the retinal capture and/or stabilisation of the macular carotenoids in subjects with age-related macular degeneration.
