Background: The macular pigment (MP) with respect to the genesis and progression of age-related maculopathy (ARM) a protective role ascribed.Here, both the antioxidant properties of these carotenoids, as well as the filtering effect of the high energy blue light play a role.Since the MP density by the absorption of lutein and zeaxanthin is modifiable, could have a balanced diet and supplementation with lutein and zeaxanthin a potential therapeutic approach for the prevention of ARM's.
Content: In recent years the market of different types of supplements for prevention of ARM (as well as the dry eye) "inundated" by ophthalmologists and is also an expert on this information are expected. The importance of MP in relation to ARM prophylaxis remains, however, remain unclear. The Unit aims to help relevant stakeholders everyday tips and recommendations for discussion with patients geben.Wir know only that the density of the MP with different methods can be easily measured.In many ways it is not only the density of pigment in the macula determined, but also the spatial distribution of MP present. Studies on density measurements of the macular pigment and the spatial distribution are critical in terms of their relevance discussed. Likewise, further modifying factors, such as omega fatty acids, living habits, age, gender, ethnic differences, ocular and systemic diseases explained and discussed.
