Cataract
Atlantis Eyecare is recognized for their clinical results with premium intraocular lenses such as ReStor, ReZoom and Crystalens. Does anyone have any thoughts, experiences or questions with cataracts and these new lenses?
University of Maryland researchers suggest that carotenoids, particularly lycopene may protect the eye against oxidative damage and play a critical role in visual function. The identification of lycopene and a diverse range of dietary carotenoids in ocular tissues suggest that these carotenoids, as well as other nutrients found in tomato-based foods, may work in concert with lutein and zeaxanthin to provide protection against age related macular degeneration and other visual disorders.
