MACULAR PIGMENT OCULAR DENSITOMETRY TESTING:

  • Advanced technology now enables us to measure the pigment levels in the central retina, also known as the macula, in less than five minutes using a simple light-response test.
  • Those individuals with low pigment levels are up to 40% more likely to develop Macular Degeneration, a blinding eye disease.
  • Low pigment levels can also impact visual performance, night vision, and allow damage from blue light.
  • Come in today to discover out your pigment score! Fortunately, effective treatment is available to increase your pigment level, and, in turn, reduce your risk of developing Macular Degeneration.

MACUHEALTH:

  • MacuHealth is a natural eye health supplement that helps to reduce the risk of macular degeneration and maintain healthy eyes.
  • This supplement is comprised of three natural carotenoids- leutin, zeazanthin, and meso-zeaxanthin- all of which are critical to filter and protect against harmful blue light.
  • One can obtain some macular protective pigments from a diet rich in green and leafy vegetables, but the meso-zeaxanthin pigment is not readily available in the Western diet, which is why a supplement is imperative.
  • MacuHealth is offered in 3-month supply. We offer discounts on bulk purchases.
