Most people are aware of the dangers posed by ultraviolet light (UV). They range from sunburns to more ominous long-term changes such as skin cancers. This has helped people to become more aware of sun exposure and taking steps to minimize it by covering up with hats or clothing and using sunscreens. However, people are often less aware of the dangers specific to their eyes. The skin around the eyes is particularly susceptible given its very thin, fine nature. It will tend to show aging changes with wrinkles creating the crow's feet appearance and is also prone to cancers, most commonly basal cell, but also squamous cell and melanoma. The skin will also lose its elasticity and contribute to drooping...

Cone-Rod Dystrophy (CRD) is an inherited liberal disease that causes worsening of the cone and pole photoreceptor cells and frequently results in blindness. Cone-rod dystrophy is too accompanied by amelogenesis imperfecta, an irregularity affecting the teeth. Cone-rod dystrophy can be inherited as either an autosomal predominant or autosomal recessive trait. In its almost popular kind, however, it is normally inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, which means that both parents have one transcript of the cone-rod dystrophy gene but do not get the disease. Autosomal recessive cone-rod dystrophy is a genetically heterogeneous disease. These mutations induce an irregularity in pole outer section...

Introduction Color blindness in most of the individuals is always an inherited trait. Since men have one X chromosome and women two, men are more prone to be color blind than women. Thus when a man inherits the gene for the defect he becomes color blind whereas a women when she inherits a single gene for the peculiarity will not be prone to the color vision defect. The reason is that the good X chromosome will control the defective gene inherited. Thus for a women to inherit the deficiency she must acquire the defective trait from both her parents. The second cause for the defective color vision is through disease. Cataract is one of the most common causes for this inherited genetic deficiency. Also...

Color blindness is something that can happen at a young age or later on develops as the person ages. Someone who has this deficiency will not be able to distinguish one color from another or may not be able to see an image clearly on a background. This could be genetic or is caused by an injury in the optic nerve or retina. The person may not be able to distinguish between red and green in the beginning or blue from yellow and studies have shown that this can get worse over time. However, there are more patients who get this deficiency because of heredity and it happens more often to men than women. Some people may be partial meaning, the individual will not be able to discern some colors while this...

Vision and the ability to differentiate between colors in the spectrum are extremely essential in order to meet day-to-day chores of life. Human eye contains two specialized kinds of photoreceptor cells namely rods and cones that actively participate in regulating these activities. Any abnormalities or errors in these cells can result in the individual being unable to identify colors, a medical condition better known as color blindness or color vision defect. Abnormalities in the color vision can occur either due to genetic disorder or acquired. Genetic defects or inherited disorders are primarily as a result of mutated genes. Inherited color vision defect is primarily an X-linked disorder that is...

Can you believe your senses? The life we lead is based on assumptions. To change your life there needs to be a questioning of these assumptions. Assumption One: What your senses tell you is true This is one of the easiest assumptions to question then demolish! You have five senses: sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste. Let's image that you are sitting on a riverbank. What do you see? Outside of yourself you see all the elements that make up the scene: the river, a fisherman, mountains, trees and so on. But is this really what is going on? Light waves from the river, the boat, the mountains, the trees and all the other components of the scene travel at a speed of 299,792,458 meters per second...

A sanctuary is a peaceful place for your dog to relax and drift off into dream land. Your canine friend will truly appreciate this special treatment. Just like humans, dogs also need their own space. This is even more important as your dog grows older because she is likely to be resting more often. Most dogs automatically find their favorite spot and create thier own dog bed out of a laundry pile in the house to take a nap. If your dog does this, use that space to make it all his own, at least for the most part. If your dog will be sharing a room with another family member, this can work well if that person respects the dog's space within the room. Find the Right Colors for the Room Paint the room a...

act that beta carotene is stated to be a safe form of vitamin A suggests that vitamin A is in some way unsafe. In fact an overdose of vitamin A can lead to any one of a number of conditions, including nausea, jaundice, vomiting, abdominal pain and headaches. This vitamin is fat soluble, and so any excess is not easily washed out of the body but can build up in the tissues. Toxicity in the liver can occur at fairly low concentrations, and the toxicity of the vitamin is increased by excessive alcohol intake. However, toxicity only occurs with vitamin A already formed such as that obtained from liver. There are several forms of vitamin A, including the retinoid form originating from animal sources and...

Aniridia is an uncommon inborn circumstance characterized by the underdevelopment of the heart's iris. This normally occurs in both eyes. It is associated with impoverished growth of the retina at the rear of the heart preventing natural imagination growth. Aniridia is not just an isolated flaw in iris growth but is a panocular disorder with macular and optic heart hypoplasia, cataract, and corneal changes that are new anomalies that head to decreased imagination and nystagmus. Visual acuity is generally low but is unrelated to the degree of iris hypoplasia. Although many of those with aniridia will have a visual disability and are unlikely to develop enough vision to drive a car, most will have...

Gimme Soft-Focus again? Did you know that Hard-Focus is the norm in our daily activity, but it is thebasis of up to 75% of our feelings of stress? When we use a hard-focus we automatically contract the muscles of our eyes, face,and neck. After thirty-minutes, these muscles become tense and painful, and often cause stress and migraine headaches. Humans use hard-focus 75% percent of our waking hours. We become addicted to using a narrow, hard-focus, also called Tunnel Vision, through watchingfive-hours of daily TV, playing Video Games, reading-articles, books and reports, and holding conversations. Surfing the Internet - which is presently up to three-hours daily for young people - is also based on...

Why Reading Like a Lizard Produces Geniuses Forget politics, President Obama and Arne Duncan, Secretary of Education, and the Republican Party agree that Reading is the primary skill for any successful career. We live in the Knowledge Economy, and its tools are technical. Can you imagine functioning one working day without your computer and the Internet? Can physics, biology and chemistry produce and innovate without advanced reading skills? Inquiring Minds Need to Know There are three systems to reading - decoding the letters and sounds in our language. 1. Phonics - deciphering the collaboration between the letters of our alphabet and the sounds they link to. Stop-And-Remember: Phonics controls 62...

The lens of your eye is a transparent convex structure that focuses the light entering through the pupil to form an image on the retina. The ciliary muscle governs the focusing of the eye by changing the shape of the lens. This "focusing" muscle is considered an involuntary muscle, that is, a muscle which you cannot consciously control. This means that if you over focus, your ciliary muscle can become cramped and sluggish, which may cause your vision to appear blurry. You may also notice that it takes longer than usual to focus. Stimulation of the ciliary muscle produces more power in the focusing ability of the lens, which enables you to focus on small details at closer distances, as when reading...

Anyone facing vision impairment or outright loss due to injury or disease of the cornea will be grateful for the skills and expertise of a eye doctor who specializes in corneal care. These specialists have trained in the field of Ophthalmology (diseases of the eye), and have then trained further in the subspecialty field of cornea and external disease. While all ophthalmologists are trained surgeons, particularly complex surgical procedures are usually performed by ophthalmologists who are "fellowship" trained in areas such as corneal disease. The cornea is a thin, clear membrane that covers the outermost part of the eye. This part of the eye is completely clear because it has no blood vessels or...

I think that most of us would value our eyesight and would not want to lose it through aging. I have spoken recently to a neighbor who has problems with cataracts - she is finding it difficult to read books and is waiting for an operation. Cataracts are very common, affecting roughly 60% of people over the age of 60, and over 1.5 million cataract surgeries are performed in the United States each year. Most common complaints include difficulty driving at night, reading, participating in sports such as golfing, or travelling to unfamiliar areas; these are all activities for which clear vision is essential. I had an aunt whose hobby was embroidery and she lost the ability to discern the colours of the...

Have you ever wondered exactly what does fish oil do? It's a common question. While omega 3 products have become quite popular lately, not everyone is clear on the specific health benefits that these supplements provide. In this article, we'll cover 5 key benefits of adding one of these products to your dietary regimen. These five areas are: 1) Brain function. 2) Diabetes. 3) Allergies. 4) Vision. 5) Arthritis. I could go on, but for reasons of space, we'll keep it at this current list. For an expanded list, I invite you to visit my web site. For now, let's cover each of these five points in detail. 1) Brain function. Did you realize that approximately 60% of the human brain is comprised of fats...

Color of the Iris The iris is usually strongly pigmented, with colors ranging from brown to green, blue, gray, and hazel. Occasionally its color is due to lack of pigmentation, as in the pinkish-white of oculo-cutaneous albinism, or to obscuration of its pigment by blood vessels, as in the red of an abnormally vascularised iris (although human albinos generally have very light blue eyes, as the un-pigmented color of the human iris is a pale blue). Despite the wide range of colors, there is only one pigment that contributes substantially to normal human iris color, the dark pigment called melanin. Structurally, this huge molecule is only slightly different from its equivalent found in skin and hair...

Lutein is a compound that is present in the retina of the human eye. This important antioxidant serves to reduce tissue degeneration due to the effect caused by free radicals in the eye. Lutein is abundantly present in certain foods. Foods with lutein include spinach, egg yolk, leeks, and carrots. People suffering from a deficiency of lutein should do some research lutein rich foods. They can be very effective when it comes to arresting mascular degeneration of the eye tissue. 'Foods high in lutein' entered into any search engine will render many results all saying the same thing in many different ways. However, what one needs is specific information about these different types of foods. Lutein...

Lutein is an antioxidant that helps to reduce or prevent damage to the retina of the human eye. Some people suffer from lutein deficiency and are forced to resort to lutein supplements in order to increase the quantity of lutein in the system - especially the retina. In order to understand how lutein helps prevent damage to tissue we have to first understand how the damage is inflicted on the tissue. Life is a process that is dependent on chemical reactions. Our bodies are exposed to these chemical reactions every minute of the day and night. Everything we do is a result of a chemical reaction - the food we digest, the water we drink, the way we move in the sun light all gives rise to a chemical...

p>Just like humans, dogs also get cataracts when opacity on the lens of the eye develops. In its early stages cataract may not cause any visual problems, however as it matures can cause blurry or cloudy vision and eventually may result in total loss of sight. When this occurs, the usual veterinary treatment is the same as with humans. Corrective eye surgery is recommended in which the defective lens is removed and replaced by an artificial lens, IOL. Intraocular lens is a clear plastic lens that effectively allows light to enter into the retina of the eye thus aiding in vision. Cataracts are one of the most common eye disorders affecting dogs. Often they are inherited and can develop over a number...

Your Koi is a unique species of aquatic life. The Koi fish symbolizes friendship and love. It is a popular fish that developed long ago in the 1820s in Japan.

In diabetic retinopathy, the capillaries or small blood vessels in the retina become weak. The way retinopathy advances in type 1 and type 2 diabetes is slightly different but is the most common cause of visual loss in our working population. Approximately two per cent of the diabetic community become blind but due to advances with screening and laser treatment, this figure is likely to reduce. Retinopathy: - does not usually occur until diabetes has been present for more than five years - will be obvious in almost everyone who has diabetes for more than twenty years - is usually evident when type 2 is diagnosed due to the delay in diagnosis of type 2 diabetes Why does diabetes affect your eyes...

Macular hole surgery or vitrectomy is an eye surgery that involves several procedures. It uses specific methods and specialized apparatus to restore retinal diseases which is sometime considered as untreatable. Vitrectomy as the name suggests, the surgery involves the exclusion of the vitreous gel and the retina of the eye. During the operations, the vitreous gel is excluded using a light and tiny cutting tool and a particular saline solution is being replaced to substitute the excluded part of the eye. The surgeon uses fiber optic light to shed light within the eye during the surgery. General and local anesthesia is being used while the surgery is done in the operating room. Contact lenses and...

When it comes to looking after ourselves, there are various check ups we must take in order to keep ourselves up to date with the current condition of our body and also allow us to adopt the necessary measures we need to help us deal with any changes. Just as we should ensure we visit the dentist and our doctor regularly, the same can be said for our eyes. Most eye car experts will recommend that you have a complete eye exam every one to three years depending on your age and whether you already wear corrective glasses or contact lenses.  However, different risk factors can also greatly change the times in which you should leave between each eye exam and this will also change between children and...

What is the vitreous? It is the colorless, transparent, gelatinous mass between the eye's lens and the lining of the retina. Cells in the cilary body produce vitreous, which is similar to egg white and blood plasma. Vitreous contains only a few cells: * Phagocytes: removes unwanted debris from the visual field * Hyalocytes of Balazs: reprocesses hyaluronic acid * No blood vessels * 99% Water: with sugars, salts, vitrosin, and a network of collagen type II fibers, with the rest mucopolysaccharide hyaluranic acid A network of collagen and the negative charge of MPS hyaluronic acid supports the water. The water content of the lens is around 75%, less than that of the vitreous, at 98%. Still, the...

Many people correlate a ‘healthy’ lifestyle with measures such as exercising, taking vitamins, eating healthily, and refraining from smoking. However, ensuring your health is fully in shape takes even more. Sometimes, it’s necessary to consult a health professional for check-ups, just to ensure everything is as it should be. One example of this has to do with your vision. Even if you don’t notice a drastic difference with your eyesight from day to day, it’s possible for your vision to change over an extended period of time. If you already wear glasses or contact lenses this could mean requiring a new prescription. However, an eye test can do more than ensure your prescription is up-to-date...

Penny Wise, Pound Foolish Times are tough. Even the government acknowledges that we're in a recession. So we scrimp where we can and keep a sharp eye out for new ways to save. But there's one area where spending a little now can actually save a lot later on. I'm talking about your health. According to the Milken Institute, an independent economic think tank in California, more than half of all Americans suffer from one or more chronic diseases - and, as a result, it's costing all of us more than $1 trillion each year. That's the big picture. On a more personal level, fighting cancer, heart disease, diabetes, COPD, or mental illness can cost you thousands of dollars yearly in medication, doctor...

What type of light is dangerous for your eyes? Ultraviolet light is dangerous and its negative effects are well known. It is invisible and cannot be seen. Most sunglasses protect against UV light as this is the commonly feared. While UV light is beneficial to the skin in small doses, where it promotes the production of Vitamin D, in larger doses it can cause cancer among. It also damages the structural integrity of the skin, noticeably damaging the collagen and leads to an increase in what is described as age related damage. Ultraviolet radiation has been established to cause damage to the lenses and can lead to cataracts and other damaging effects. Both short term exposure to UV light as well as...

There are many common misconceptions about dogs, such as the belief that they will die if they eat apples or that their mouths are cleaner than human mouths. However, some things that people say about dogs actually are true. One of the common ideas about dogs that actually has some truth to it is the claim that they are colorblind. Dogs are not colorblind in the sense that they only see images in black and white. However, they do have a significantly limited color field compared to what humans can see. Most of what dogs can see appears to be in shades of yellow, blue and violet. They are not able to see the reds, greens and oranges that humans see because these colors appear somewhere in their blue...

With all eyes are fixed on antioxidants these days, Lutein is taking the market by storm. This is because Lutein is best suited for local action on the tissues of the eye and the heart.The market is full of Lutein supplement products displaying quantities like lutein 20 mg, on their labels. The question here is whether 20mg lutein is actually a substantial amount of Lutein to be taking on a daily basis? To answer that let us understand first how Lutein prevents degeneration of eye and heart tissue. Lutein is an antioxidant and acts locally on the tissues of the eyes and the heart. Being an antioxidant means that Lutein neutralizes free radicals and thus reduces the destruction caused by them, free...

Damage from diabetes can occur in different areas of the eye. It can occur to the cornea, nerves controlling the muscles of the eye, the lens, optic nerve and retina. The retina is the complication that most people and medical professionals think of first in terms of diabetic complications. Diabetic retinopathy is simply damage to the light sensitive retina. This damage is brought about by hyperglycemia, the medical term for high blood sugar. Retinopathy is directly responsible for approximately 12,000 to 24,000 cases of legal blindness every year in the USA alone. It is reported that there are over 200,000 cases each year globally. Diabetic complications are even more insidious than these numbers...

When acquiring glasses or contacts, one must have an eye exam. Most people do not think about whether there is a difference between the two exams. There are actual distinct differences between an eye exam for eyeglasses and an eye exam for contact lenses. The following describes the differences with an eye exam for eyeglasses and an exam for contact lenses: Eye Exam for Eyeglasses The purpose of an eye exam is to diagnose problems with one's vision and any diseases of the eye. You will be required to read an eye chart. This includes reading with both eyes than each on their own. The eye doctor will then perform a Retinoscopy. In a darkened exam room, the doctor will provide you with a point to stare...

Why pick out and discuss the health benefits of blueberries over all the readily available fruits and berries? The answer is found when listening to nutritional health advisers, who I have no doubt you have heard recommend you eat at least 5 servings of fruit and vegetables each day. They especially recommend eating a variety of colored vegetables, as they contain certain beneficial nutrients, which we will come on to.

It can be found in large quantities in dark, leafy green vegetables. So if you ask the question, what is lutein, then hopefully this will begin to answer your question. For more, keep reading. However, if it isn't, then maybe this will answer the question, what is lutein? Lutein can help to fight against cataracts and macular degeneration. It is naturally found already in the eyes; however, the body does not continue to produce it. It is in the carotene family, and we all have heard about another member of the carotene family called beta carotene. There are...

It's no secret that eating healthy colorful vegetables and 1 serving of fruit a day will support your health, but it may also help you lose weight. Changing your lifestyle eating habits is paramount to health and fitness. Americans are eating themselves sick. They consume an average of 2-3 pounds of sugar per week. This can have an impact on breaking down the immune system which can lead to all kinds of illnesses. Sugar laden food is a major cause of diabetes in adults and more and more children. Too much sugar causes cardiovascular disease. Sugar raises the insulin level in the body which is linked to supporting certain cancers. Americans also consume at least 2 teaspoons of salt per day, twice the...

In a media interview on the network service of the Nigerian Television Authority, AM Express, Dr. Mrs Ade, president of the Glaucoma Society of West Africa urged the media to adequately educate and inform the general public about the scourge of this incurable disease. Glaucoma is a disease of the optic nerves involving the loss of the retinal ganglion. She referred to When asked why the formation of the society and much emphasis was laid on this disease among the other eye diseases. She told the media that the major challenge of this disease was the fact that it had affected a major sect of the populace and unlike other eye diseases could go unnoticed until a stage where it further develops into...

Krill are tiny crustaceous fish that live abundantly in the coldest waters on Earth. They, along with Plankton, are the primary food source for the great whales. These creatures are on the bottom of the food chain, but they have been a nutritive food source for humans and animals for quite some time. It is believed they were once harvested from the waters in Japan, where they were known as Okiami. Krill contain high concentrations of Omega-3 fatty acids, which are known to help protect the heart and blood vessels against cardiovascular disease. Many health care professionals consider Krill far superior to regular fish oil for antioxidant and Omega-3 sources because they are contained in Krill in...

S.A.D. Light Therapy did not exist until the 20th century. Up until then, most of the world's population rose with the sun and went to bed when it set. Artificial light existed - but it was inconsistent, weak, expensive, often smelly - and its flickering was hard on the eyes. So, for the most part, except for a small segment of high society, humans followed the rhythms of light and seasons, just as animals and birds do in nature. Nowadays, we manipulate our waking hours just as we do everything else in modern life, thanks to technology. Electric lighting makes short work of darkness, we set back our clocks to "save daylight", and alarm clocks jolt us painfully awake, even though it's still pitch...

> Shopping for sunglasses for your health. Useful advices how to choose right sunglasses! When you hit the sunglass racks, recollect that lens blush (gloomy or mirrored) doesn't necessarily mean better protection from UV emission. In detail, shadows lenses have the likely to distort flag, even the red and green on traffic light. The darker the lenses, the bigger the chance your pupils (shadowy part of the eye) will dilate and let in more negative UV light. That said, it might be best to consider yellowing, neutral imprecise, russet or green painted lenses.When it comes to polarize lenses, they do have the budding to minimize shine, but by themselves, don't blockade UV...

Taurine is used as a functional food in many energy drinks and energy products. Despite being present in many energy foods, it has not been proven to be energy-giving. A study of mice hereditarily unable to transport taurine suggests that it is needed for proper maintenance and functioning of skeletal muscles. Additionally, it has been shown to be effective in removing fatty liver deposits in humans, preventing liver disease, and reducing cirrhosis. Taurine is an important amino acid in our body. It is found mostly in our central nervous system, skeletal muscle, and in greater concentration in our heart and brain. It is made from two sulfur containing amino acids called methionine. Cardiovascular...
