Age-related eye diseases are a set of ophthalmic diseases caused by aging and irreversible degeneration in the eye. Glaucoma, cataract, and age-related macular degeneration(AMD)are some of the common age-related eye diseases. Inflammation and oxidative stress play important roles in the initiation and progression of these diseases. Resveratrol, a natural plant antitoxin, fights oxidative stress and inflammation by regulating multiple cellular transduction pathways; and it has become a focal point in anti-aging research and has seen significant research progress during recent years. At the present, investigation into the relationship between resveratrol and age-related eye diseases is still in its infancy. This paper focuses on elaborating new research progress on resveratrol's role in age-related eye diseases.
