Floaters & Other Vitreous Opacities
Glycation plays a serious role in the breakdown of the structure of the vitreous fluid within the eye known as the aqueous humour. This is the Jell-O-like material that fills the inside of the eyeball. This breakdown leads to the gradual shrinking and liquefaction (syneresis) of the vitreous gel, so that by the time the average person is in his or her nineties, nearly half of the vitreous gel has degenerated into an unstructured goo.
Syneresis ultimately leads to tiny ‘cave-ins’, in which the vitreous gel collapses away from the retina. These micro-collapses often underlie ‘floaters’ and light flashes, and they can ultimately cause the retina’s sensory and pigment layers to tear apart (known as retinal detachment), causing devastating damage to the vision. On top of this, new evidence has emerged to suggest that syneresis is also a major contributing factor to the formation of nuclear cataracts. So test-tube studies have shown that Carnosine can prevent early glycation products from degrading the hyaluronan fluid of the vitreous gel, and animal studies have shown that injected Carnosine protects the lens of the eye from toxic lipid peroxide products in the vitreous gel, which reinforce the idea that the application of a topical Carnosine supplement solution in the form of eye drops might very well provide a powerful defense against these deleterious processes that age our eyes.
By applying Ethos Bright Eyes Drops daily into each eye they help to protect the eyes against degenerative eye diseases whilst also helping to rejuvenate and maintain the vitreous gel in good condition. This will help to reduce the problems with any existing floaters whilst also helping to protect the eye against any new floaters from forming.
Ageless Eyes of the future
As more and more is learned about the importance of antioxidants and the roles that they have to play in maintaining good eye health by reducing oxidative-stress damage, combined with people become more and more educated themselves, we should see a significant reduction in the numbers of people suffering from these debilitating eye diseases in the not too distant future. Regular eye examinations are of paramount importance, as early detection of many ocular disorders make treatment a lot easier, quicker and much more effective. Using antioxidants, like the ones discussed above, as a prophylactic measure is also very highly recommended to help prevent the onset of eye diseases in the first place. If you start using them daily now, then you may never have to worry about eye problems in the future, and thus enjoy truly ageless eyes.
