“MACULA” in italiano

But as the body ages, the importance of carotenoids in the macula may increase because of the lifelong exposure to damaging light.

Visual results are best if the retinal detachment is repaired before the macula (the center region of the retina responsible for fine, detailed vision) detaches.

Present in the macula , a structure at the back of the eye, lutein and zeaxanthin absorb sunlight that can damage vision.

Numerous observational studies have examined the correlation between lutein and zeaxanthin concentrations in the macula , dietary intake, and macular degeneration.

Dry type is caused by aging and thinning of the tissues in the macula , which results in gradual visual loss.
