Zusammenfassung:This study was aimed to evaluate the association of serum vitamins D and E level with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This pilot study was performed in two groups of 15 patients in treatment group and 15 patients in control group. Measurements of blood factors [such as C-reactive protein (CRP) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL)] were performed after 12 h of fasting. To measure vitamins D and E, the serum was isolated from 5 cc blood samples. HDL was higher in the control group as compared with the AMD group. However, no significant difference was found between the two groups (  = 0.08). On the other hand, serum vitamin E in the AMD group was remarkably higher as compared to the control group (
