‣ They are full of lutein (0.5mg/medium avo) and zeaxanthin. These are two carotenoids which are selectively absorbed in the macula. Relative intakes of both decreases in age, more so in females than males, and it has been suggested that a good natural source of these two reduces progression of age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) and possibly cataracts as well.

‣ They have lots of folate, vitamins C, K, B6 & potassium, and small amounts of magnesium, manganese, copper, iron, zinc, phosphorous and vitamins A, B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin) and B3 (niacin).

These all have different roles. Vitamin A supports the functioning of the surface of the eye, and reduces risks of cataracts and AMD. Antioxidants Vitamin C and E protect against damaging free radicals, also reducing the risks of AMD and cataract. Vitamin C also helps in the synthesis of collagen, a protein which provides structure to the eyes.

The B vitamins can help by reducing free radicals, and also by lowering levels of homocysteine, an amino acid which may contribute in AMD. Niacin (B3) may help reduce the development of glaucoma. Thiamine (B1) may help diabetic eye disease, through the way it directly affects carbohydrate metabolism.

So things are new now for sure. I started my new job as a Ophthalmic Technician and I am loving it so far! It’s totally different than what I was doing before, I work in a retina specialists office so most of the patients we see are old and going blind. It’s a whole new side of optics but I love it and it makes me excited to get up for work each morning

I’ve had to cancel my gym membership because the gym I go to is closing so I’m going to do a lot of workouts at home until I get more financially stable and am able to find another gym that I like.

Things seem to really be looking up! And I actually have time to do workouts after work now if need be because the latest I get off of work is 430 now 😱

Today’s episode broadens our normal photographic sphere as we discuss ophthalmic photography and how the eye’s own optical system is used in conjunction with camera equipment—some techniques very common, some not so—to examine the interior of the eye and to diagnose illnesses that go far beyond problems with vision. We are joined by Mark Maio, clinical medical and ophthalmic photographer and developer of the first high-resolution digital imaging system in ophthalmology. Listen!
