EnChroma is now offering a polycarbonate version of its EnChroma Cx lens, which helps people with colour blindness distinguish colours better. The original Cx lens was made of glass, making it less safe for sports activities, work and children. New customers can try the lenses at no cost for 30 days. http://www.enchroma.com/
Before: rainbow seen with color blindness After: rainbow seen with EnChroma Cx
An American study questions the effectiveness of top selling nutritional eye supplements.
Only the AREDS and AREDS2 formulas, composed of antioxidants and zinc, proved effective in slowing down the progression of AMD, and only when the disease was in a moderate-to-advanced stage.
Only four products had doses equivalent to AREDS and AREDS 2, four others had doses that were much too weak, and four added vitamins, minerals and superfluous herbal extracts. In addition, none of them indicated for which types of patients a nutritional supplement could be effective.
