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.
An organic acid, taurine is derived from cysteine (an amino acid). As cysteine contains sulfur, & taurine is derived from cysteine, taurine is also classed as a sulfonic acid. The structural formula of taurine is C2H7NO3S. In 1827, German chemists Leopold Gmelin and Friedrich Tiedemann isolated taurine from ox bile. Bile is the digestive juice produced in the liver. Stored in the gallbladder, bile helps the body digest food, particularly fats.
Other good natural sources of taurine include beef, lamb, dark chicken meat, eggs, most dairy products, seaweed, krill and brewerâs yeast. Raw meat is fairly rich in taurine, comparable to fish, but cooked varieties typically have only 10 milligrams of taurine per ounce. To increase the amount of taurine in your meat, consider eating it rare or medium-rare. Organ meats such as liver and heart contain more taurine than choice cuts of flesh.
