ABSTRACT:
A method of retarding and ameliorating eye diseases and injuries is disclosed. The method comprises administering astaxanthin in a therapeutically-effective amount to prevent, retard or treat eye and central nervous system diseases or injuries, such as age-related macular degeneration and other central nervous system degenerative diseases, photic injury, ischemic diseases, and inflammatory diseases.
