If fact, older adults do need much more protein than is generally recommended and - fewer calories, due to less activity and lower muscle mass (The Journals of Gerontology Series A, June 2001 edition).

Another risk factor is overexposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun, which causes free radical damage to the lens.

For example, cataracts are rampant in India in people over the age of 40 – because the sun is intense in that country and most people there subsist on very little protein.

The lens of the eye is also especially vulnerable to both

• nutritional deficiencies, and
• poor circulation, mainly due to atherosclerosis.

Macular degeneration, a progressive eye condition, attacks the macula, where your sharpest central vision occurs.

The condition affects 15 million people in the United States alone, and is the most common cause of irreversible blindness in developed countries.

The disease rarely causes complete blindness, but it robs you of all but your outermost, peripheral vision, leaving just dim images or black holes at the center of your vision.

The incidence of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) increases sharply with age, and its prevalence is expected to rise.

Currently, age-related macular degeneration affects 11.5 percent of white people over the age of 80. The number of people severely disabled by late-stage AMD in the United States is expected to increase by more than 50 percent, to 3 million, in the next 20 years.

Previous studies evaluating antioxidants had shown conflicting results, with one major study showing that raising levels of beta carotene, vitamins C and E and zinc in people with early or single-eye late AMD resulted in a 25 percent reduction in the progression to late AMD over five years.

The new study sought to evaluate whether antioxidants as present in normal foods could play a role in preventing age-related macular degeneration.

At the beginning of the study, 5,836 people living in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, who were at risk of AMD were identified. Of these, 4,170 participated in the eight-year follow-up.

Participants were asked to fill out food questionnaires and were given periodic eye exams.

People who consumed higher levels of vitamin E and zinc had about a 10 percent lower risk of developing age-related macular degeneration.

Those who had an above-average intake of all four nutrients (beta carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E and zinc) had a 35 percent reduced risk of AMD.

Adding nutritional supplements to people who already had a high intake of these nutrients did not change the results.

People who consumed below-average amounts of these nutrients had a 20 percent increased risk of developing AMD, the study said.

Vitamin E is found in whole grains, vegetable oil, eggs and nuts; zinc in meat, poultry, fish, whole grains and dairy products; beta carotene in vegetables such as carrots, kale and spinach; and vitamin C in citrus fruits and juices, green peppers, broccoli and potatoes.

Although the study results still need to be confirmed, they do add valuable information, the researchers said.

The Formula can also be of benefit to other eye conditions, such as

• glaucoma and
• macular degeneration.

The lens of the eye is particularly vulnerable to nutritional deficiencies, since it is not nourished directly from the bloodstream. Instead, it must receive its needed nutrients indirectly, from adjacent cells.

The lens of the eye requires, in relatively large amounts, such micro-nutrients as vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin A, vitamin B-2, pantothenic acid (vitamin B-5), choline, magnesium, selenium, bioflavonoids, l-glutamine, and glycine.

Herbs which help, in a synergistic way, to enhance the effectiveness of the Formula include:

• Eyebright
• Angelica
• Plantain
• Sassafras
• Capsicum
