Abstract: |
ω-3 Polyunsaturated fatty acids(ω-3 PUFAs) are the important components of the retina,and they have a unique effect on eye health. Lacking of ω-3 PUFAs is easy to cause a variety of eye diseases, such as dry eyes (DE), retinitis pigmentosa (RP), glaucoma and retinopathy of prematurity(ROP),while it can be relieved and prevented after supplement. The effects of ω-3 PUFAs on DE, RP, glaucoma and ROP and the possible mechanisms were mainly described. It was suggested that the amount of ω-3 PUFAs intake would be appropriate, and a proper intake ratio of ω-3 PUFAs to ω-6 PUFAs (1∶?3-1∶?4) would be kept to ensure the normal development of the visual system. |
