		<title>Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Macular Degeneration in Women</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The evidence continues to grow for the macular-protective effect of the omega 3 fatty acids found most abundantly in fish. Consider an excellent quality fish oil supplement to your diet, especially if you have signs of macular degeneration or a family history. Due to the anticoagulative effect of the oil, you should check with your primary doctor if you are on &#8220;blood thinners&#8221; of any type, especially warfarin (Coumadin). Up to 3 grams a day of fish oil is the dose generally recognized as safe by the FDA. Take a look at the following study, published in the Archives of<a href="http://www.triangleeye.com/omega-3-fatty-acids-and-macular-degeneration-in-women/" class="read-more"> Read the Rest...</a>]]></description>

		<title>CATT findings: Lucentis, Avastin Equal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The cancer drug, Avastin (bevacizumab, Genentech, San Francisco), is as efficacious as Lucentis (ranibizumab, Genentech) in treating neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD), according to initial results from the Comparison of AMD Treatments Trials (CATT), the National Eye Institute (NEI, Bethesda, Md.) said in a press release. NEI reported results from the first year of the 2-year study. In the multicenter, single-masked trial, researchers randomly assigned 1,208 patients with Neovascaular AMD to receive intravitreal injections of Lucentis or Avastin on either a monthly schedule or as needed. The primary outcome was the mean change in visual acuity at 1 year.

		<title>Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acids-Not Just a Supplement Fad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been telling people to use EFAs for several years to help boost their eyelids&#8217; meibomian gland production, to help with symptoms of dry eye. Initially, I recommended the use of flax oil due to its low cost and palatability.  However, I now tell people that fish oil gives them more of the active ingredients they need without the extra metabolic step that plant sources require; and that truly pure fish oils (like Carlson&#8217;s and Nordic Naturals) do not taste fishy. I think that 1-2 teaspoons of a really good fish oil are probably as cost effective as flax oil<a href="http://www.triangleeye.com/omega-3-essential-fatty-acids-not-just-a-supplement-fad/" class="read-more"> Read the Rest...</a>]]></description>

		<title>Intraocular Lenses</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have just finished reviewing a number of sites with postings by patients on intraocular lenses (IOLs). IOLs are integral to the cataract eye surgery.  If one removes 1/3 of the focusing power of the eye (the cataractous lens), then it has to be replaced.  As wary as I am about believing web postings, I was struck by the number of people who felt that the IOLs they received did not live up to their promises, especially those who seemed to have done their homework. What lens should be put in your eye when the cataract comes out? In my<a href="http://www.triangleeye.com/intraocular-lenses/" class="read-more"> Read the Rest...</a>]]></description>
