DHA is an essential fatty acid found right through your body, and in particular your brain. And it has been discovered that DHA is very important in brain development, as well as other aspects of fetal development. DHA is also a major fatty acid found in the retina of the eye, as well as other organs of the body.

And, as importantly it is found in breast milk.

As a developing baby and fetus cannot produce enough of it’s own DHA it has to get it from somewhere else. That somewhere else is from mom, either through the placenta before birth or from her breast milk after birth. But as the baby gets it’s supply of DHA from mom her own supply reduces daily.

Your vision is one of your most important senses. However, there are many afflictions that can affect the eye. Eye disease develops over time and shows itself in many forms.

Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness among those in the United States. It decreases your vision because a heavy amount of internal pressure puts stress on the optic nerve. This damages it and visual data is not taken in properly. It is hard to know if you have glaucoma because it often has not symptoms or pain. However, if you seem to be losing periphery vision, that may be the reason. Treatment involves either medicated eye drops or laser surgery.
