Orlando, FL— November 26, 2015 — Glaucoma is considered to be the second major cause of blindness worldwide. This eye disease is characterized by damage in the optic nerve, which often leads to vision loss. The good news is that for individuals who want to reduce their risk of the condition, they may consider looking at the potential health benefits of omega-3 fats.

Fish oil is believed to be one of the best natural remedies for avoiding glaucoma. This eye condition often doesn’t exhibit symptoms during its early stages. However, it can gradually cause vision loss, and this is why it’s called the “silent thief of sight.” The vision problems actually become apparent during its advanced stage, and eventually permanent damage may take place.

“Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in fish oil from tuna, herring, halibut, and sardines. However, today, there are already fish oil supplements available,” said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O’Sullivan.

Research showed that half of over 4 million individuals in the United States suffer from glaucoma, although they don’t even realize it. While glaucoma’s underlying causes are not yet completely understood by scientists, they believe that glaucoma is associated with the increased pressure in the eye from the optic nerve damage. This pressure is believed to take place when there is a pressure buildup from the aqueous humor, which is the watery fluid in the eyeball.

This fluid typically drains normally in a healthy pair of eyes. However, the drainage system doesn’t function properly among those with glaucoma. This leads to gradual fluid buildup in the eye and increased pressure. This increased pressure eventually kills the nerve fibers, and causes vision loss.

There are individuals who are more likely to suffer from the eye condition. It is believed that it is more common in African-Americans, Asian-Americans, Japanese-Americans, and Mexican-Americans. Individuals who are over 60 years old, have chronic diseases, have a family history of the condition, and have eye injury or nearsightedness are also more susceptible to the condition.

Docosahexanaenoic acid (DHA) is believed to be an essential natural ingredient that can help keep a problem-free and clear eyesight. According to experts, this type of omega-3 fat can potentially be helpful for the protection and promotion of healthy retinal function. DHA can be concentrated in the retina of the eyes and is believed to be particularly helpful for preventing macular degeneration, which is considered to be the leading cause of blindness (http://www.amazon.com/Omega-Fish-Oil-Supplement-Softgels/dp/B00O8NS20K/.
