The Human Eye: First - Let’s Take A Closer Look

Summary OF Eye Anatomy And FunctionThe Anterior Chamber is the fluid-

filled space inside the eye between the iris and the cornea's innermost surface, the endothelium.

The Aqueous Humour is a jelly-like substance located in the anterior chamber of the eye.

The Central Retinal Vein (retinal vein) is a short vein that runs through the optic nerve and drains blood from the capillaries of the retina into the larger veins outside the eye.The Central Retinal Artery (retinal artery) branches off the ophthalmic artery, running inferior to the optic nerve within its dural sheath to the eyeball.

The Choroid Layer is located behind the retina and absorbs unused radiation.

The Ciliary Muscle is a ring-shaped muscle attached to the iris. It is important because contraction and relaxation of the ciliary muscle controls the shape of the lens.

The Conjunctiva (plural = conjunctivas or conjunctivae) is a clear mucous membrane consisting of cells and underlying basement membrane that covers the sclera (white part of the eye) and lines the inside of the eyelids.

The Cornea is a strong clear bulge located at the front of the eye(where it replaces the sclera - that forms the outside surface of the rest of the eye). The front surface of the adult cornea has a radius of approximately 8mm.The cornea contributes to the image-forming process by refracting light entering the eye.

Eye Anatomy Definitions: P2The Fovea is a small depression (approx. 1.5 mm in diameter) in the retina. This is the part of the retina in which high-resolution vision of fine detail is possible.

The Hyaloid diaphragm divides the aqueous humour from the vitreous humour.

The Iris is a diaphragm of variable size whose function is to adjust the size of the pupil to regulate the amount of light admitted into the eye. The iris is the coloured part of the eye (illustrated in blue above but in nature may be any of many shades of blue, green, brown, hazel, or grey).

The pigmented Layer Of retina or retinal Pigment Epithelium (RPE) is the pigmented cell layer just outside the neurosensory retina that nourishes retinal visual cells, and is firmly attached to the underlying choroid and overlying retinal visual cells.The Lens of the eye is a flexible unit that consists of layers of tissue enclosed in a tough capsule. It is suspended from the ciliary muscles by the zonule fibers.

Macula A small central area of the retina that provides vision for fine work and reading.

The Optic Nerve is the second cranial nerve and is responsible for vision. Each nerve contains approx. one million fibres transmitting information from the rod and cone cells of the retina

Page 5: 2011 vision nutrition - holistic action plan

Eye Anatomy Definitions: P3The optic disc or optic nerve

head is the location where ganglion cell axons exit the eye to form the optic nerve. There are no light sensitive rods or cones to respond to a light stimulus at this point. This causes a break in the visual field called "the blind spot" or the "physiological blind spot". The optic nerve head in a normal human eye carries from 1 to 1.2 million neurons from the eye towards the brain.

The Papilla is also known as the "blind spot" and is located at the position from which the optic nerve leaves the retina.

The posterior chamber is a narrow chink behind the peripheral part of the iris of the lens, and in front of the suspensory ligament of the lens and the ciliary processes the Posterior Chamber consists

of small space directly posterior of the Iris but anterior to the lens.

The Pupil is the aperture through which light - and hence the images we "see" and "perceive" - enters the eye. This is formed by the iris. As the size of the iris increases (or decreases) the size of the pupil decreases (or increases) correspondingly.

The Retina may be described as the "screen" on which an image is formed by light that has passed into the eye via the cornea, aqueous humour, pupil, lens, then the hyaloid and finally the vitreous humour before reaching the retina.

The Sclera is a tough white sheath around the outside of the eye-ball. This is the part of the eye that is referred to by the colloquial terms "white of the eye".

Eye Anatomy Definitions: P4The Visual Axis (simple

definition) is a straight line that passes through both the centre of the pupil and the centre of the fovea". However, there is also a stricter definition (in terms of nodal points) which is important for specialists in optics and related subjects.

The Vitreous Humour (also known as the “Vitreous Body") is a jelly-like substance.

The Zinn’s Zonules (or "zonule fibers") attach the lens to the ciliary muscles.

Now that you know a little Eye anatomy

Come

Here’s the Plan

Page 7: 2011 vision nutrition - holistic action plan

You are subjected to

so much nutritionally Deficient foods and toxins on a daily basis, that you would be well advised to start this plan by doing a bit of cleansing and detoxification. Here we’ve chosen Oxy-Powder - a top quality product to begin with..

Note: Mild to moderate exercise is also recommended in this step.

Step 1: Detoxification (week1)

Click the images of the following vision/ nutrition products to find out more.

Page 8: 2011 vision nutrition - holistic action plan

Step 2: Replenish (week 2) After a week of cleansing, we have chosen Mila,

which is arguably the most nutritious source available today.

You can begin replenishing with Mila - a product from life max, to supplement deficiencies in your diet. Because of the constant administering of chemicals and pesticides, our soil has become more depleted and less capable of producing nutritionally rich fruits and vegetables. Now, even with a healthy diet of fruits and vegetables, doctors recommend that you take some form of supplement. This is the best source that we have found.

Combine Mila With Your Choice Of Vision Nutrition Product/s

Our #1 choice for multivitamin, is one that contains lutein and zeaxanthin , which is called “Eye Support “ by Dr. Mercola. Dr. Mercola’s krill oil also gets the nod for best source of omega 3 oil.

Vegetables For Better Vision

1. Green Leafy VegetablesDark leafy green vegetables like kale, spinach, and broccoli are rich in the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin. They are shown in studies to support eye health.

Lutein is a powerful antioxidant used by your eyes to absorb blue light. It is found in high concentrations in your macula, the tiny central part of your retina responsible for straight-ahead and detailed vision. It is also found in the macular pigment, which helps protect your central vision.

Studies show that people who ate foods high in lutein and zeaxanthin reduced their risk of macular degeneration. Those already suffering from the condition experienced significant improvements.

Fruits For Vision Improvement 2. Bilberry and Black Currant

Bilberries and black currant are rich in anthocyanins that are found in the aqueous humor, the thick watery substance filling the space between your lens and cornea. The aqueous humor maintains the intraocular pressure, provides nutrition for other ocular tissues, and helps transport antioxidants.

Anthocyanins in bilberries help protect and stimulate rhodopsin, the purple pigment that helps your eyes adapt to light and darkness and is important for night vision. Black currant anthocyanins, on the other hand, help improve visual acuity.

3. Avacado According to a study from University of California in Los

Angeles (UCLA), avocados have nearly twice as much vitamin E as previously reported, making avocados the highest fruit source of the powerful antioxidant, reports BW HealthWire..

The research also showed that avocados are the highest fruit source of lutein among the 20 most frequently consumed fruits. Lutein is a carotenoid, which helps protect against eye disease such as cataracts and macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in the elderly.

Seafood For Better Vision

3. Krill, Salmon and Shellfish krill, Salmon, crab, lobster, and other shellfish contain asthaxanthin, the carotenoid that gives them their pink and reddish colors. Astaxanthin closely resembles lutein and zeaxanthin.

• It helps to maintain the appropriate eye pressure levels

• Protect your retina from oxidation caused by light

• Support your eyes’ energy levels • Support visual acuity

Step 3: Exercise (weeks 2-3)Walking

Jogging

Swimming

Combine step 1 and step 2 with exercise! Step 1: (1 week) cleanse. Step 2:(week 2), replenish with mila and your choice of multivitamin and/or eye supplement while doing mild to moderate exercises of your choosing (about 3 times a week). Note: also take oxy powder for two days at the beginning of weeks two, and three . You may continue to eat your favorite foods but include helpings of any two of the folowing foods. Krill or salmon, kale, or spinach, bilberry or black currant. I.e. krill/kale, salmon/spinach etc. (a seafood with a vegetable or fruit.)

Page 16: 2011 vision nutrition - holistic action plan

Step 4: Break – Taper Off(week 4)

Give your body a break from everything i.e all cleansers, supplements, and any/all multivitamins. Partake freely of the recommended seafood, fruits and vegetables and others of your choosing. Get plenty of rest and do some relaxation exercises or things that help you to relax.

Page 17: 2011 vision nutrition - holistic action plan

Step 5: Begin Again (week 5) Start this process again from week two. Continue this cycle for 4 months. After 4 months, start again at week 1. The objective is to do a two day cleansing at

the beginning of every week - and a full week cleansing every four months while incorporating mild to moderate exercise and the recommended foods and supplements.
