“The authors reported a moderate, statistically significant relationship between baseline retinal pigment levels and visual processing speed. Following the intervention, both supplement groups demonstrated a significant increase in retinal pigmentation compared to placebo.”

“Future uses of gene therapy include treatment of other eye conditions such as glaucoma and age-related blindness in mice. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick describes a study in which stem cell-derived retinal cells were used to treat macular degeneration in a human.”

“Clinical light therapy is much more intense than these general daytime targets. People with bipolar disorder, retinal disease, or medications that increase light sensitivity should discuss deliberate high-intensity light therapy with a qualified clinician.”

“Zinc participates in a wide range of activities in the eye, including aspects of cell metabolism, retinal development, and mediating the function of retinal-specific proteins essential for vision.”

“Ciprofloxacin and other antibiotics that are known as fluoroquinolones may be associated with tendon rupture, tendonitis, and retinal detachment. Patients who received them had a higher risk for aneurysms than patients who did not receive the antibiotics.”

“"Individuals heterozygous for both BCMO1 SNPs rs12934922 and rs7501331 have 69% reduced capacity to convert carotenoids like beta-carotene into retinal. The distribution for these SNPs are 42% and 24%, respectively.".”

“In this clip from the FoundMyFitness interview with Dr. Andrew Huberman, Dr. Rhonda Patrick asks why low-angle morning light matters. Dr. Huberman explains that intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells send light information to the suprachiasmatic nucleus, the brain’s central circadian clock.”

“Poor retinal health is often an indicator of systemic illness, such as cardiovascular disease or nutritional deficiency. The authors of the study viewed more than 80,000 retinal images collected from adults (average age, 55 years) participating in the UK Biobank Study.”

“From the article: > In the current study, the scientists trained mice to run on a treadmill for one hour per day, five days per week, for two weeks. After the animals were exposed to toxic bright light -- a commonly used model of retinal degeneration -- they exercised for two more weeks.”
