Aged-related macular degeneration(ARMD)is prone to occur in the people who aged 50a or older. The disease can lead to partial or even complete loss of sight in single or both eyes progressively. The pathogenesis of ARMD is still unclear, but the previous studies have shown that oxidative stress plays an important role. The mechanism of antioxidants on ARMD has gradually become a hotspot in recent years. In this paper, we briefly reviewed the mechanism of ARMD caused by oxidative stress and the application of antioxidants on ARMD.
