TOTAL EYE CARE, Community Advocate, April 10,2009

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

This continuing series of columns will present a wide range of information about the eye. It is hoped that

our readers will use this knowledge to familiarize themselves with eye diseases, their symptoms, preventa-

tive measures and treatments. The professional best suited to discuss such matt ers is an ophthalmologist.

Trained to perform total eye care, an ophthalmologist is the only eye care professional who practices

medicine and surgery. An ophthalmologist is a doctor of medicine who has att ended college and medical

school and has served a general internship as well as at least three years of residency in eye care. Th at

individual can diagnose  disease, prescribe treatment and perform surgery. Additionally, vision problems can

be detected and then addressed with surgical procedures, glasses or contact lenses.

We are pleased to welcome you to our column. AT KEAMY EYE & LASER CENTRE, we look forward

to helping you understand your needs and providing information so you can make an informed decision

NUTRITION FOR EYE HEALTH

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

As discussed in my upcoming segment on the cable show  ” Seniors on the Move”, the following vitamins and supplements are important for eye health:

Vitamin A ( carrots, butternut squash), Vitamin C ( kale, strawberries, orange, broccoli), Vitamin E ( nuts: almonds, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds), Betacarotene (carrots, pumpkins, sweet potatoes), and zinc ( oysters, wheat, nuts), Bioflavonoids ( cherries, grapes, plums)

Lutein & Zeaxanthin (kale, spinach, squash, sweet potatoes, peaches) & Omega 3 fatty acids ( fatty fish: tuna, salmon, fax seed oil, walnuts),

Eating foods with Lower Glycemic Index ( whole grains, lentils, Yams)

In general, eat 5-9 servings of vegetables or fruits per day, fatty fish 2 times per week, and 3 servings of whole grains per day, avoid processed, sugary, or fried foods.  Add a supplement if you want an insurance policy that you are getting enough nutrients or if you already have signs of macular degeneration.
