AMD Diet and Nutrition

© 2025 American Macular Degeneration Foundation

It is established that certain lifestyle changes, including an eye-healthy AMD diet, can help slow the onset or progression of age-related macular degeneration.

You’ll find lots of resources in this section, including:

AMDF Cookbook – Eat Right for Your Sight
Recipes from Alice Waters, Jacques Pepin, Debra Samuels, Lidia Matticchio Bastianich, Ina Garten, Dr. Andrew Weil, and more. Proceeds support the mission of The American Macular Degeneration Foundation.

Cooking Show
The “Eat Right for Your Sight” four part cooking series includes science-based AMD diet recipes for reducing the risk of macular degeneration progression, along with tips on safe cooking practices.
