The second edition of The Handbook of Nutrition, Diet and the Eye thoroughly addresses common features and etiological factors in how dietary and nutritional factors affect the eye. The ocular system is perhaps one of the least studied organs in diet and nutrition, yet the consequences of vision loss can be devastating. There are a range of ocular defects that have either their origin in nutritional deficiencies/excess or have been shown to respond favourably to nutritional components. This book includes updated chapters from the first edition and reviews infectious diseases of the eye where food and nutrition are important. Featuring a new section on animal model studies where both the ocular problem and dietary remedies can be varied, there are also chapters on dietary supplements which discuss dietary extracts from around the world in addition to foods. With an increasingly aging population, the role of age-related changes in ocular health as modified by diet is also described. Addresses a broad range of nutrition, ocular health and disease issuesServes as a foundational collection for neuroscience, neurology and nutrition researchers illustrating the importance of nutrition and diet in eye health and functionFeatures new chapters on infectious diseases of the eye where nutrition is a factorDiscusses animal model studies, dietary supplements and age-related changes in ocular healthIncludes preclinical, clinical and population studies to map key areas for research and further clinical recommendations INDICE: A.
