The SERI Singapore Indian Eye Study study found that aspirin use was associated with early age-related macular degeneration in people with a history of cardiovascular disease, but not in those without.
SERI looked for signs of AMD in 3207 ethnic Indians aged 40 years or older living in Singapore. Aspirin intake overall was not associated with early AMD, but in those with a history of cardiovascular disease the association between aspirin intake and early AMD might warrant further investigation.
Previous research in Australia had found that regular use of aspirin was associated with and increased risk of AMD.
