Taurine and Retinal Ganglion Cell Survival Across the Lifespan

Taurine and Retinal Ganglion Cell Survival Across the Lifespan

Introduction Taurine is a nutrient-rich amino sulfonic acid found in high concentrations in the retina and other neural tissues. In fact, taurine levels in the retina are higher than in any other body tissue, and its depletion causes retinal ...

Spermidine and Autophagy: A Longevity Nutrient for the Aging Eye

Spermidine and Autophagy: A Longevity Nutrient for the Aging Eye

Spermidine: An Autophagy-Inducing Polyamine for Eye Health Spermidine is a naturally occurring polyamine found in all cells and in many aging-friendly foods. It has recently attracted attention as an autophagy inducer and “longevity” nutr...

Curcumin and Curcuminoids: Anti-inflammatory Strategies for Glaucoma Neuroprotection

Curcumin and Curcuminoids: Anti-inflammatory Strategies for Glaucoma Neuroprotection

Curcumin and Curcuminoids for Glaucoma Neuroprotection Glaucoma is an age-related optic neuropathy marked by progressive retinal ganglion cell (RGC) loss and vision impairment. Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress are central to glau...

Citicoline (CDP-Choline) for Visual Pathway Support and Cognitive Aging

Citicoline (CDP-Choline) for Visual Pathway Support and Cognitive Aging

Introduction Citicoline, also known as CDP-choline, is a naturally occurring compound that supports nerve cell function. It serves as a key precursor for phospholipids — essential components of cell membranes — and boosts levels of importa...

Creatine and Energy Buffering in Retinal and Optic Nerve Tissues

Creatine and Energy Buffering in Retinal and Optic Nerve Tissues

Introduction Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are the neurons that send visual signals from the eye to the brain. They rely on a high-energy metabolism because they must maintain electrical signals over long distances. In glaucoma and related opti...

Designing Multi-Ingredient Neuroprotective Formulations for Glaucoma

Designing Multi-Ingredient Neuroprotective Formulations for Glaucoma

Designing Multi-Ingredient Neuroprotective Formulations for Glaucoma Glaucoma is a complex optic neuropathy characterized by progressive death of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and visual field loss. Its pathogenesis involves not only elevated ...

Ginkgo biloba for Ocular Perfusion and Visual Field Preservation: Promise and Precautions

Ginkgo biloba for Ocular Perfusion and Visual Field Preservation: Promise and Precautions

Ginkgo Biloba and Ocular Perfusion in Glaucoma Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE) is a botanical supplement long studied for its circulatory and neuroprotective effects. In glaucoma – especially normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) where intraocular pre...
