Invision with Lutine

id you know that a person goes blind every 11 minutes?A leading cause of blindness, macular degeneration affects the vision of 13 million people in the US alone, causing 300,000 to go completely blind. This age-related eyesight deterioration occurs when lutein pigment runs out and becomes too thin to protect the pigment layer of macula, rendering the optic nerves vulnerable to damages by UV’s harmful irradiation and free radicals.Tiny capillaries then grow behind a small portion of the retina responsible for detailed vision, causing the vessels to bleed and scar. Once damaged, light-sensing nerve cells open an ever-widening hole in a person’s sight. Though macular degeneration may take years to progress, it can also move with lightning speed. Some patients notice a wavy line one day, and a huge blur weeks later.Macular degeneration is the leading cause of blindness in the industrial world. Because no cure officially exists, (Please read Science File below) effective prevention is key.S
