They fight against free radicals and destroy them. They prevent cell damage and thus prevent macular degeneration.

Macular degeneration is of Two types
Dry Macular degeneration : The accumulation of yellow pigments in the retina is Dry Macular Degeneration. These pigments are the waste products known as Drusens. They damage the tissues of the Retina and lead to gradual loss of Vision. Prolonged Dry Macular Degeneration may lead to Wet Macular Degeneration.
Wet Macular Degeneration : It occurs when the body produces blood vessels to clear the Drusens from the Retina. But the Blood vessels are placed at the wrong site. This causes damage to the Macula of the Retina.
