Description

The big picture: to determine the extent to which lipofuscin, a naturally occurring pigment soluble in fat and found in aging tissues, contributes to vision loss. The objectives for our proposed research are to gather data in order to be able to proceed with a clinical trial designed to evaluate the extent to which C20-D3-vitamin A can impede the formation of ocular lipofuscin as well as to aid in the development of diagnostic methods to evaluate treatment compliance during future clinical trials.
