Low zinc status has been linked to a higher risk and faster progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), in part because zinc is concentrated in the retina and supports antioxidant defenses there. In the landmark AREDS trial, a supplement formula containing zinc (80 mg as zinc oxide), along with antioxidants, reduced the risk of progression to advanced AMD by about 25% in people with intermediate disease or advanced disease in one eye over roughly 5 years. Other research has shown that inadequate zinc intake is more common in older adults with AMD, reinforcing the idea that maintaining healthy zinc levels may be an important, and often overlooked, strategy for preserving macular health with age.
