Lens replacement implants are small âintraocular lensesâ (IOLs) implanted inside your eye to restore focus after cataract surgery. When the natural lens inside your eye turns cloudy with age, it is called a cataract. After your cataract is removed, your ophthalmologist will implant a replacement lens often called a cataract lens.
What is taurine? Taurine is a type of amino acid, and amino acids form the main constituents of all proteins. Taurine is exclusively found in animal-based proteins. It is critical for normal vision, normal digestion, normal heart muscle function, to maintain normal pregnancy and fetal development, and to maintain a healthy immune system.
An average diet will provide about 40â400 mg of taurine per day, but studies have used supplements with up to 400â6,000 mg per day (7, 13). Bottom Line: The main dietary sources of taurine are animal foods such as meat, fish and dairy. Smaller amounts are found in some plant foods. It is also added to many energy drinks.
