JANUARY 31, 2020 RETINAL VEIN OCCULSION

This is a common vascular disorder of the retina affecting the veins. This is a leading cause of vision loss worldwide. there are two types central and branch vessel. The branch type is more common. There are very few conventional treatment to unblock the occlusion Some drugs have been tried as ranibizujmab and bevacizumab. The major causes are l;ifestyle driven so I focus of changing lifestyle choices.

There are certain nutrients such as zeaxanthin, lutein, omega fatty acids, bilberry an d ginkgo that may help reserve vision.

The one I use most frequently is lutein in a dose of 6 - 20 mg . There is a lot of research done on this supplement to maintain a healthy retina. With respect to atherosclerosis ( hardening of the arteries- a cardiovascular disease) people that were given lutein, zeaxanthin and astaxanthin reported more significantly improvement that in the controls. I use zeaxanthin the dose I use is 2mg up to 12 mg /day . I also have used nattokinase as a natural blood thinner. The dose of astaxanthin is usually from 6- 12 mg /day . There are other nutrients which are helpful as taurine, vitamin D and green tea. I love the website www.visionworksusa.com or www.naturaleyecare.com

Until tomorrow…
