The photo-receptors in our retinas, known as rods and cones, require a lot of energy to function. The bloodstream is not directly connected to them. Behind them are several cells of the retinal pigment layer that take up glucose, which rods and cones then lactic acidize. After that, the pigment layer "drinks" the lactate. If the rods are defective, then the cones begin to die, as well. Is it in solidarity? The greatest economist of all time, Mother Nature, created this lesson from the eye.
Hundreds of million of dollars are invested into studying of aging these days. Everyone wants to live hundred years and don't even know what cataracts is. How do we achieve this meanwhile? Healthy lifestyle that involves a vitamin rich diet and a lot of exercise!
“Doctor, we’ve known you for 17 years, and it wasn’t like this before. What’s changed? For the previous 20 years, there have been enormous changes in ophthalmology.

Birds have eyesight that significantly exceeds ours. In order to replicate this, the Swedes have now developed a camera with a "bird's eye" setting. Optical filters on the camera can be switched out to simulate the vision of various animals. All that we observe is a purely human reality, perhaps now we can glimpse into their world and learn about their secrets.
Researchers at Massachusetts Eye and Ear have created a gel that heals corneal wounds including cuts and sores. We won't acquire this material immediately; clinical studies begin in about a year. But keep GelCORE in mind as well because time goes by quickly.
Here come the great news! New research shows that dark green vegetables like spinach, broccoli, and cabbage as well as citrus fruits, pineapples, carrots and tomatoes can slow down the onset of cataracts!
