e. both vitamin c and carotenoids

Explanation:

Age-related macular degeneration is an eye related disease which causes our macula to degenerate. It leads to blurred vision which further impacts our abilities like sewing, reading and driving adversely. It can be cured by intake of vitamin C and carotenoids in appropriate amount. Cataract is another disease related to eyes which most commonly occurs in old age people. In this disease, the eye lenses appear cloudy because of the changes in the eye lens tissue. Beta carotene and vitamin C both are very helpful in restricting cataract.

Answer from: organdonor626

Intakes of both vitamin c and carotenoids have been associated with reduced risk for age-related macular degeneration and cataracts.

Further explanation

Macular degeneration and cataract are age-related eye diseases. It is commonly causes impaired vision and blindness in older adults. This disease can be prevented or delayed by changing lifestyle such as a good diet. Foods that we eat and supplement that we take affect our overall health and also eyes health.

Carotenoid is a plant pigment that produces bright yellow, red, and orange colors in plants, vegetables, and fruits. Carotenoid is a beneficial antioxidant that can protect you from disease and enhance your immune system. Carotenoid such as Lutein and zeaxanthin have been shown to protect the retina from oxidative changes caused by ultraviolet light. It works by absorbing the blue light. Fruits and vegetables also provide essential vitamin C, another powerful antioxidant, lowering inflammation in the body.

Besides adopting a healthy diet, there are many ways to protect and maintain your eye health including avoiding prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays and high-energy blue light, quitting smoking and getting annual eye exams.
