                                 Zika virus can cause GLAUCOMA in infants

Exposure to the Zika virus during pregnancy causes birth defects of the central nervous system, including microcephaly. Brazilian and Yale School of Public Health researchers had reported early during the microcephaly epidemic that the virus also causes severe lesions in the retina, the posterior portion of the eye. However, until now, there has been no evidence that Zika causes glaucoma, a condition that can result in permanent damage to the optic nerve and blindness.

To Reduce the risk of ARMD - Age Related Macular Degeneration By VITAMIN Suppliements

ARMD is a major cause of blindness among individuals with European ancestry and accounts for more than 50% of all blinding conditions. The Eye Disease Prevalence Research Group estimates that 1.2 million U.S. residents are living with neovascular ARMD and 970,000 have geographic atrophy; these numbers expected to rise 50% by the year 2024. There are three major purported risk factors for ARMD: age, positive family history and smoking. In fact, smoking is the only consistently proven risk factor for ARMD. As with other age-related diseases, the free radical theory of aging has been proposed as an underlying cause of ARMD. This theory proposes that oxidative stress occurs in the retina because levels of reactive oxidative intermediates (ROIs) increase to a level that exceeds the detoxifying capacity of antioxidants. The researchers evaluated the protective effects ofzincand/or a formulation that consisted of nutrients with antioxidant properties,including vitamin C,vitamin E and beta-
