You can prevent macular degeneration by reducing Refined Carbs in Your Diet. A study shows that high refined carbohydrates in diet can increase the risk of AMD. Those diets with a high glycemic index may cause a rapid increase in blood sugar and insulin release. Otherwise, we should have low glycemic index foods such as fruits, spaghetti, brown rice, apple juice or carrot juice.

Nutrients like lutein and zeaxanthin help prevent macular degeneration. Choose a healthy diet that's full of a variety of fruits, vegetables and leafy greens. These foods contain antioxidant vitamins that may reduce your risk of developing dry macular degeneration. Eating kale, spinach, broccoli, peas and other vegetables, which have high levels of antioxidants, including lutein and zeaxanthin, may also reduce the risk of macular degeneration.
