Know about Macular Optical Pigment Density

We know our eyes work like camera.And retina works like reel of the camera.The central part of the retina is Macula Lutein.In this macula their is special kind of pigment known as Macula Pigment.This Macula pigment is responsible for eyes taking the picture and mind seeing it.So health of macula pigment is most essential for us to see things.Density of Macula Pigment can be measured and any fall in this can severly impact vision .Further these changes are generally irreversible.
The health of Macula Pigment can be greatly enhanced if we consume Corn,Oranges and green vegetables as these are rich source of essential minerals and vitamins which are required for healthy eyes. Macular Optical Pigment Density (MPOD) can be linked to Age Related Macular Degeneration(ARMD).MPOD can be measured ,and if density is found less,suitable changes in the diet should be made.
