Ocular Lens Pigment

 
          As we age, the lens of our eyes becomes yellow and brown.  Experts agree that this tint is Nature's way of protecting the retina from macular degeneration. 

      

 The Human Lens of a child or young person is clear As the person gets older the lens becomes yellow developing a protection method against damaging sun light Older people have yellower lenses. The Ocular Lens Pigment developed by photoprotective technologies provides the protection the human eye had before the lens is removed during cataract surgery

 

 "It's as though Nature has provided us with our own pair of sunglasses,"  says physicist Dr. Jim Gallas, CEO of Photoprotective Technologies who patented the new light filter.  Dr. Gallas found a way to incorporate the synthetic ocular lens pigment (OLP TM  ) - derived from 3 hydroxy kynurenine - into ophthalmic plastic lenses.
