5/2006 www.lef.org notes that age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) has 2 major types, wet or dry. 
The wet (exudative) condition may be caused by abnormal blood vessels growing across & under the macula leading to scar tissue, which damages/destroys the macula, leading to blindness. 
In the dry (atrophic) condition, yellow deposits (drusen) accumulate underneath retina, causing macula to thin & lose function, resulting in blindness. 
 

Causes
 
Herpes Simplex 1 from latent chicken pox virus may adversely affect the eyes. www.coldcure.com/html/herpes.html - herpes.htm 
 
Surgery (such as Lasik) or eye cuts may trigger/precipitate temporary or permanent dry eyes. 5/1/2007 www.wsj.org

A daily dose of 6 mg lutein + zeaxanthin, 500 mg vitamin C, 400 mg vitamin E, 15 mg beta carotene + 80 mg zinc seems to protect macular degeneration or Age related MD per 3/2/2004 Wall St Journal www.wsj.com - aches@wsj.com - (Carotenoid xanthophylls) lutein (from marigold flowers, spinach, kale) + zeaxanthin are beneficial for most all eye diseases (especially wet macular degeneration & cataracts) per 4/2007 & 2005 collectors edition of Life Extension.
The eye converts lutein into bioavailable structure, meso-zeaxanthin. 
Xanthophylls serve as natural sunscreens in plants, eyes, skin + may protect the veins and arteries from clogging.
Zeaxanthin is found in yellow corn, orange peaches, honeydew, mangoes, oranges & green/orange peppers. 
Lutein can be found in broccoli, asparagus, yellow corn, squash, kiwi, pumpkin & peas. 
Egg yolks contain both. (Some organic poultry breeders use feed to increase this benefit.) - www.lef.org

Cham, Dr. Bill @ https://truth11.com/2021/06/16/author-of-inspired-by-nature-proven-by-science-obliterates-the-myths-about-sunscreen-lotions-and-reveals-natural-skin-cancer-treatment-that-causes-cancer-cells-to-commit-suicide/   - "As it would be, a synergistic complex from 1 of humankind’s most utilized plant families (nightshades: potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant), (used externally as a skin cream) called Solanaceae, exhibits cytotoxicity for certain carcinoma cell lines, meaning they naturally kill skin cancer by triggering apoptosis (programmed cell death or cell 'suicide' for the hepatocellular carcinoma cell line)...
According to Dr. Bill Cham Ph.D., author of Inspired by Nature, Proven by Science, there is NO strong scientific evidence to be found anywhere that sunscreen use prevents skin cancer.
In fact, frequent sunscreen users experience a HIGHER incidence of melanoma, not lower." (NOT recommended for diet, as often toxic, due to natural insecticide properties, but applied externally may be toxic to skin cancer.)

"Folk (vetenarian) medicine for cancer, solasodine glycoside, dates back to Australian farmers who used it to cure eye cancers in cattle Decades ago, Australian farmers made a (seed) poultice from the fruit of a weed called Devil’s Apple (Solanum linnaeanum from the Solanacea family of plants) that cured cancers of the eye in cattle.  It works by bonding to a receptor on the surface of cancer cells.
The cancer cell eats the eggplant extract (like sugar), which causes the cancer cell to rupture, destroying it. 
Now people around the world are using it to prevent having to get surgery, including for non-invasive & invasive melanoma skin cancers. Over 80,000 cases are documented successful to date, without destroying any healthy cells/tissue, & in zero cases has the cancer returned."

"The xanthophyll molecules, lutein, zeaxanthin, & astaxanthin are powerful preventers of DNA damage.
They stimulate DNA repair mechanisms...
A natural plant compound, an anthocyanin called cyanidin 3-glucoside, or C3G, can accelerate the regeneration of rhodopsin, potentially restoring dim-light visual sensitivity.59,60 C3G, derived from natural dark berries, is therefore a promising addition to any supplement meant to  age-related vision changes (AMD)"
(such as night blindness due to slowed regeneration of a pigment called rhodopsin).

Natural (rather than synthetic) astaxanthin - http://www.stazen.com/Benefits-of-Natural-Astaxanthin.html Haematococcus algae are rich in astaxanthin.
Natural astaxanthin may help with prevention of arthritis, gastritis, sunburn, joint, muscle & eye fatigue, macular degeneration, erythema + bladder cancer. @ http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/
20101201005694/en/Natural-Astaxanthin-Praised-Dr.-Joseph-Mercola-Broad   
Natural "Astaxanthin is a yellow to pink plant pigment (color) in the carotenoid family. Only plants can produce carotenoids, but in the human diet, the major sources of astaxanthin are salmon, trout, & shrimp.
These creatures accumulate astaxanthin from krill, which absorbs astaxanthin with the consumption of microalgae (tiny water plants). Astaxanthin from (pink sea fish, black currants and) microalgae (Haematococcus pluvial, the richest natural source of this beneficial compound) has been shown to protect the cells of the eye from oxidative stress caused by free radicals. Astaxanthin is able to attach itself to the cell membranes where free radicals attack 1st, & protect the cell & its fatty acids from free radical oxidation (destruction). Astaxanthin is particularly effective at quenching oxygen-based free radicals found in high numbers in eye tissues.
Its antioxidant activity is equal to or greater than vitamin E, the standard marker for antioxidants. It has also been found to reduce inflammation & increase blood flow, both good things for preserving macular health." http://www.terrytalksnutrition.com/weekly-articles/2010/05-28/
"Natural astaxanthin is by far the strongest of (recent) human discovery of nature’s antioxidants...
Astaxanthin (astaxanthin in Hong Kong and Taiwan is also known as shrimp red pigment) is a red pigment, you can assign (attribute the source of) ornamental fish, salmon, shrimp & Flamingo Pink color (& food).
Astaxanthin is kind of a carrot group...of products, β-carotene, lutein, canthaxanthin, lycopene."

Smoking, blue & ultraviolet light plus cigarette smoke harm vision.  AMD (age related macula degeneration) can be reversed/slowed with omega 3 oils, lutein & zeaxanthin (which can be added to laying hen/chicken feed).  Choline (which can help retain/improve memory) can also be added to poultry feed.  The resulting egg yolks can contribute to both vision & memory of infant to senior citizen. http://www.countryhen.com/library.php
Eggs provide 3x more blood circulating lutein than spinach or standard supplementation.

Vitamins A, C, and E + zinc may help ward off the formation of drusen. 
The fruit/vegetable colorful carotenoids, lutein and zeaxanthin may help guard against ARMD. 
Lutein & zeaxanthin are the only carotenoids found in the eye lens & macula. 
They are antioxidants which absorb the near-to-UV blue light potentially damaging to retina & macula.
Ginkgo biloba may improve vision in the dry form of ARMD.  High homocysteine may contribute to ARMD risk. 
Folic acid + vitamin B12 may lower high homocysteine.  5/2006 www.lef.org

For instance, book Tune Your Mind and Body - Become Younger - chapter 16 Your Nerves states, "Every organ, limb & part of the body has 3 important nerve endings, 1 is in the iris of the eyes (iridology/rainbow goddess?),
1 is in the walls of the colon, & 1 is in the sole of the feet (reflexology/rainbow goddess?)...

Conversely, a deficiency can lead to troubling vision problems. Age-related vision loss has many different causes, but near the top is the impact of oxidative stress on light-sensing cells in the retina.
Such damage leads to age-related macular degeneration & other forms of retinal disease.45"

Evans, Michael - The Light - autobiography - http://jerusalemprayerteam.org/email/2011/0705.htm -
"Eyes...act as a camera to reflect & focus light & convert it into electrical signals which the brain translates into images. The eyes of Jesus were smiling. I'd never before seen that in a man's eyes. I had only seen rabid anger until my encounter with Jesus. I know His eyes were not a single color, not brown, blue, or green.
Every color in the rainbow was in His eyes which were like magnets drawing me into their depths. That night my life was radically transformed. I was healed of a stomach ulcer, a speech impediment, delivered from all my fears & called to do what I am now doing. It seemed as if I could see through the eyes of Jesus into eternality."
 
Hunter, Charles & Frances - by Dr. Burton J. Dupuy, Jr - Chapter 14 Eye Healings @ https://gillministries.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Hunter-Handbook-for-Healing.pdf -
"Glaucoma & cataracts...are not necessarily inherited. 
Cataracts are due to poor circulation, I believe, more than anything else. We're not really sure what causes it, but we do know that a lack of oxygen supply to the lens in the eye will cause cataracts.
Some are spots, some are streaks, some are like dust on the cornea, some are just milky; there are all types.
Pray that the spot in the eye will be removed. Command the spirit of inheritance to come out.
A cataract is not a growth. The lens in the eye where the cataract is formed is shaped like a magnifying lens.
It is thick in the middle and thin on the edges. It is composed of layer after layer of skin, similar to an onion.
What happens is these layers start drying out in different areas & this causes a spot.
So when the light comes through, when we look into the eye, we see a black spot in there.
It is not a growth; it is not cancerous.  It is just a change or drying out of the tissue.
Pray that the tissue will be restored to normal & the blood supply to the eye will be replenished.
Glaucoma is an increase of pressure in the eye. The eye fluids are constantly being replaced & drained out.
The canals are slim around the outer area of the iris where the fluids drain out of the eye & if these canals become clogged, then the drainage slows down and the pressure builds up. It's like blowing air into a balloon.
Command the canals to be opened, command the spirit of inheritance to come out & command the pressure to be relieved & go down to normal, in Jesus' name.7.18.2020
 
job/17-5 - KJV - He that (deceives/denounces) speaketh flattery (for a reward/personal gain, such as Judas did regarding Jesus) to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail. 
(Thus we need to recognize, repent, replace & receive in Jesus name.)
 
Nash, Daniel - https://www.hopefaithprayer.com/prayernew/prevailing-prince-prayer-daniel-nash/ -
"Nash was struck with a serious case of inflamed eyes. For several weeks he had to be kept in a dark room where he could neither read nor write. During this time 'he gave himself up almost entirely to prayer.
He had a terrible overhauling of his whole Christian experience; as soon as he was able to see, with a double black veil before his face, he sallied forth to labor for souls.'”
 

Bill Wiese author of 23 Minutes in Hell, says that we must be careful to guard our hearts from temptation.
The Bible shows us that Satan primarily uses the eyes as a portal to man's soul, but God primarily uses the ears.  What exactly does that mean for all of us? Wiese explains from Scripture in this video:
