Herbs that Fight Abnormal Microbleeding in Macular Degeneration & Diabetic Eye Disease

Macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy have something in common. Although the indirect causes may be different, a consequence of untreated AMD or untreated diabetes is similar. Untreated, both conditions may result in macular microbleeding, in which abnormal capillaries develop (angiogenesis) that leak fluid or blood into the retina. A holistic approach may reduce the risk … Continue reading “Herbs that Fight Abnormal Microbleeding in Macular Degeneration & Diabetic Eye Disease”

How to Slow Macular Degeneration Progression

Researchers have found that certain supplement combinations actually modify how genes and proteins affect the behavior of white blood cells in the retina. They are investigating the reasons why certain supplements are helpful against macular degeneration. The answer may be that compounds in the supplements regulate the white blood cells (macrophage phenotypes).1 Seniors in the … Continue reading “How to Slow Macular Degeneration Progression”

Inhibiting Angiogenesis in Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration and Diabetic Retinopathy

Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration and Diabetic Retinopathy can lead to vision loss from angiogenesis. Angiogenesis is the growth of unwanted blood vessels in the retina. These excess blood vessels obscure or distort vision and damage the eye. They can result in permanent damage if not treated, typically by injection of EyLea, Avastin, or Lucentis. Macular … Continue reading “Inhibiting Angiogenesis in Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration and Diabetic Retinopathy”

Vitamin D and the Eye: Uveitis, Macular Degeneration, and Dry Eye

Lack of Vitamin D has been associated with eye diseases like uveitis, macular degeneration, and dry eye. Vitamin D deficiency is also linked to cancer, immune disorders, heart disease, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, bone pain, depression, asthma, multiple sclerosis, and even dementia. Shockingly, more than 40% of the US population is Vitamin D deficient. The … Continue reading “Vitamin D and the Eye: Uveitis, Macular Degeneration, and Dry Eye”

Pixium Vision is running a feasibility study on is PRIMA System, and they got better-than-expected results. The study is on patients with dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration. Currently, medical science cannot restore vision … Continue reading “Macular Degeneration Glasses May Restore Vision: Pixium Vision’s Bionic PRIMA System Sees Improvements”

Curcumin for Glaucoma, Uveitis, and Macular Degeneration

Curcumin is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory spice. Inflammation plays a role in many eye conditions, including uveitis, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. Used for millennia in Indian cooking, curcumin is the main ingredient in turmeric. Turmeric gives mustard its yellow color.  When combined with black pepper, this spice is easier to absorb. You can use turmeric … Continue reading “Curcumin for Glaucoma, Uveitis, and Macular Degeneration”

Age-Related Macular Degeneration Risk Cut by Fruit and Caffeine in Mediterranean Diet

A paper presented to the annual meeting of the American Academy of Opthomology found that a fruit-heavy Mediterranean diet and caffeine appeared to reduce the risk of developing Age-Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD). For the first time caffeine has been shown to protect against this eye disease. Not a fad, this diet has been traditionally eaten in … Continue reading “Age-Related Macular Degeneration Risk Cut by Fruit and Caffeine in Mediterranean Diet”
