Fish Oil Supplements Could Save The Sight Of Pensioners And Premature Babies

The Daily Mail published an article that suggested fish oil supplements could save the sight of millions of pensioners and premature babies.

Research shows that omega 3 fatty acids, abundant in oily fish, can halve the damage to blood vessels in the retina - the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye.It is thought that the fatty acids, which are credited with a host of health benefits, quell the inflammation blamed for much of the damage to the blood vessels. The study suggested that after initial loss, vessels regrew more quickly and efficiently in the omega 3-fed mice - this finding could benefit millions of pensioners and premature babies and may also prove important in staving off blindness linked to diabetes
