“The study involved 20 adults who took approximately 3 grams of EPA and 1 gram of DHA daily for four weeks. Six weeks after the last supplementation, the investigators measured the participants' blood concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids and their eyes' ability to adjust to low light.”

“Over 90 days, participants consuming goji berries significantly increased the density of carotenoids in their eyes compared to their baseline values. The lutein and zeaxanthin supplement did not increase carotenoid deposition in the eyes.”

“A randomized controlled trial found that supplementation with lutein and zeaxanthin (24 mg daily) significantly improved macular pigment optical density, visual performance, eye strain, eye fatigue, headache frequency, and sleep quality.”

“Dry eye disease – an inflammatory condition characterized by a stinging, burning, or scratchy sensation in the eyes – affects roughly 8 percent of adults in the U.S. Although several treatments address dry eye symptoms, none target the underlying inflammation.”

“From the article: > Lunghi and Sale put 20 adults through this test twice; in one deprivation test, participants with one eye patched watched a movie while relaxing in a chair. In the other test, participants with one eye patched exercised on a stationary bike for ten-minute intervals during the movie.”

“Glutathione S-transferase facilitates the activity of glutathione, a potent antioxidant compound produced in the body's tissues, particularly those vulnerable to oxidative stress, such as the eyes, liver, and brain.”

“> The new study from the University of Virginia School of Medicine found that exercise reduced the harmful overgrowth of blood vessels [choroidal neovascularization] in the eyes of lab mice by up to 45%.”

“At the 12-month follow-up assessment, the children experienced a 0.31-millimeter decrease in axial length and a 0.63 increase in spherical equivalent refraction, indicating marked improvements in myopia progression and eye structure.”

“Assessments of episodic memory based on a battery of cognitive tests demonstrated that the rate of cognitive decline experienced by healthy, older people who had amyloid-beta protein accumulation in their brain and who were APOE4 and BDNF Met carriers was roughly three times the rate of decline among those carrying only the BDNF Val allele (the more common form of the gene that retains valine).”

“Gene therapy using stem cells is a widely-used treatment for adeno-associated virus, or AAV, a mild, non-pathogenic eye infection common to humans and other primates. Future uses of gene therapy include treatment of other eye conditions such as glaucoma and age-related blindness in mice.”
