One of them is age-related macular degeneration, which causes progressive loss of vision due to retina degeneration. Treatment of age-related macular degeneration focuses on antioxidant agents and anti-vascular endothelial growth factor compounds, among others, that prevent/ diminish oxidative stress and reduce neovascularisation respectively. The phytochemicals, medicinal plants and/or plant-diet supplements might be a useful adjunct in prevention or treatment of age-related macular degeneration owing to their antioxidant and anti-vascular endothelial growth factor properties. This review article presents the most investigated plants and natural products in relation to age-related macular degeneration, such as saffron, ginkgo, bilberry and blueberry, curcuma or turmeric, carotenoids, polyphenols, and vitamins C and E. This study provides up-to-date information on the effects, treatments, safety and efficiency of these phytotherapy products.application/pdfesopen accessMedicinal plants - Therapeutic use.Ojos - Enfermedades - Tratamiento.Azafrán - Uso terapéutico.Saffron - Therapeutic use.Vitamins - Therapeutic use.Estrés oxidativo.Oxidative stress.Carotenoids - Therapeutic use.Plantas medicinales - Uso terapéutico.Ginkgo biloba - Therapeutic use.Retina - Diseases - Treatment.Vitaminas - Uso terapéutico.Sistema nervioso - Degeneración - Tratamiento.Carotenoides - Uso terapéutico.Eye - Diseases - Treatment.Retina - Enfermedades - Tratamiento.Nervous system - Degeneration - Treatment.Ginkgo biloba - Uso terapéutico.Artículohttps://doi.org/10.4103/1673-5374.284978https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.es
