Researchers at University College London treated aging mice with vitamin D3 for six weeks and reported reduced retinal inflammation and amyloid levels, which they suggest may bear on age-related macular degeneration. The work was done in mice.

Vitamins
Nutrients protective against AMD
A study of 4,000 adults aged 55 to 80 found vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, lutein, zeaxanthin and the omega-3 fats DHA and EPA protective against age-related macular degeneration when paired with a low-glycemic-index diet that releases glucose slowly.
Vitamins
Vitamin B and folic acid may reduce AMD risk
In a trial of 5,205 women at high heart-disease risk, those randomly assigned folic acid plus vitamins B6 and B12 for an average of 7.3 years were 34 percent less likely to develop age-related macular degeneration and 41 percent less likely to develop visually significant AMD than those on placebo.
