Vitamin C-There is a significant concentration of vitamin C in the human eye. There is reason to believe that this may serve the function of protecting the retina from the oxidation damage. Research also suggests that those who have regular intake of vitamin C are less likely to develop macular degeneration than those who have low intakes. The recommended dosage is 500 milligrams per day. Vitamin E-This is another well documented antioxidant vitamin. The precise function that vitamin E has in the eye is still somewhat unclear. However, there is evidence to suggest that it could slow the light/oxygen reactions that could cause retinal cellular damage in the long term. The suggested macular degeneration treatments dosage is 400 IU (International Units) daily.
