Macular Protection

Meaning

Macular Protection refers to the essential clinical and nutritional strategies implemented to preserve the structural integrity and functional capacity of the macula lutea, the small, highly sensitive central area of the retina. This protection is vital for maintaining high-resolution central vision and is a key preventative measure against progressive eye diseases, most notably age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Strategies often involve specific carotenoid supplementation and deliberate light filtering.
