Macular Degenerations and Cataracts        

Age related Macular Degeneration is an eye disorder that causes progressive loss of central     vision  
due to damage to the Macula area of the eye. This damage causes blurring or darkness in the center
of vision which interferes with reading, driving, etc. There are two types of Macular Degeneration, the
dry type, which is responsible for some 90% of age related macula problems and the wet  type. Some
say that a possible early indication of macula dysfunction is the perception that horizontal and/or
vertical straight lines appear bent when viewed by a defective macula

Cataracts are a  result of 'clouding' of the lens of the eye. This clouding causes a dimming, loss of
acuity, a  clouding of vision and other symptoms which interfere with reading and other such functions.

Many antioxidants are beneficial to the retina/macula of the eye. The ones strongly associated with
eye protection and function are the yellow carotenoids, especially the luteins, zeazanthin meso-
zeazanthin and luteolin. Luteins and Zeazanthin are 1000 times more concentrated in the macula than
in any other organ in the body. Because of this and of experimental studies, it is concluded that an
adequate amount of these  phytonutrients is essential for proper macular function and protection.

Controllable Risk Factors

  • Smoking
  • Direct sunlight to the eye
  • Diets poor in antioxidants

Phytonutrients and Macular Degeneration/Cataracts
