Sight
Also known as: Eyesight; Visual Acuity; Vision
Description
Sight is the Sense that enables vision to occur.
Biology of Sight
The Rods, Cones and Nerve Cells of the Retina of the Eyes are collectively known as Photoreceptors.
These Photoreceptors translate Light into Nerve Impulses for transmission via the Optic Nerve to the Brain.
The Optic Nerve enters an area of the Brain known as the Lateral Geniculate Body which partially processes data and passes this data to the Visual Cortex at the rear of the Brain.
These Substances may Improve Eyesight
Amino Acids
Taurine may be essential for optimal Sight (due to its role in the maintenance of the health of the Retina).
Carotenoids
Lutein may improve Sight. references
Hormones

Pregnenolone may improve Eyesight (according to anecdotal reports describing and improvement in the clarity of vision after using supplemental Pregnenolone) [1]
