Retinal detachment?
Have you heard about the retinal detachment? It is an immediate treatment taken for the eyes for the problem in the separation of the light sensitive membrane in the back of the eye (retina) becomes separated from its supporting layers (the outermost pigment layer). The people who have nearsighted (myopic) adults, people over 50 years of age, those who have had an eye injury, after cataract surgery, people with a family history of retinal detachment have the higher risks of getting this problem. The symptoms are a sudden defect in vision. It appears as though a shadow has fallen across the eye. There may be bright flashes of light, in the peripheral areas of vision. Sometimes, translucent specks of various shapes (floaters) are seen in the eye. The vision may become blurred.

For those suffering from retinal detachments, it is really important to eat well, and supplement with specific nutrients to help maintain the integrity of the retina (improve the circulation to the retina, strengthen the connective tissue and deliver essential nutrients the retina needs to function well).
For example, gingko biloba helps improve circulation, glucosamine sulfate and vitamin C help strengthen connective tissue, and lutein, zeaxanthin, bilberry, omega-3 fatty acids, taurine, lycopene, vitamin A, E, zinc, copper, selenium for example are all nutrients that act as powerful antioxidants in the eyes and/or help strengthen the retina.
By strengthening the retina, you also reduce the chances of getting more eye floaters as well.
