Vitamins are required as a vital nutrient by a number of organs including the retina. Nutrient transport from the circulating blood to the retina is regulated by the membrane permeability of the blood-retinal barrier (BRB), which forms complex tight junctions of retinal capillary endothelial cells (inner BRB) and retinal pigment epithelial cells (outer BRB). Since the BRB limits paracellular passive diffusion, transporters play a role in vitamin transport from the circulating blood to the retina. This chapter focuses on how vitamins C, E, and biotin are transferred to the retina across the BRB.
