The human eye is still "programmed" - even outside of any intercurrent family or pathological predisposition - to deteriorate from quarantine onwards.
It is the classic presbyopia, which forces the wearing of corrective lenses, then the cataract which requires the excision and replacement of the lens. More serious and debilitating macular degeneration.
All ancient medical luminaries prescribed oil from fish and other animals to treat poor night vision. But it was not until the discovery and identification of vitamin A in 1973 that the high vitamin A content in liver oil used to treat the eyes was established.
If there is a nutrient rich in vitamin A, particularly in beta-carotene, the precursor of vitamin A, and whose bioavailability is excellent, it is spirulina. The WHO recognizes that spirulina is an excellent source of beta-carotene, vitamin B12 and gamma-linolenic acid – all essential for good eyesight. The little blue algae also gives excellent results for treating other ophthalmic pathologies such as cataracts, retinal bleeding or glaucoma. Dr. Yoshito Yamazaki will conclude in his research that the daily intake of high doses of spirulina has unexpected effects on ocular pathologies caused by diabetes, kidney problems, hypertension and the hardening of the retinal vessels and that moreover, it accelerated the patient recovery process.
