The Metabolic Needs of the Retina

The retina has one of the highest metabolic demands in the body, with the macula requiring even more energy. When mitochondrial function declines, ATP production halts, and eye tissue suffers from a lack of energy, leading to a starvation pattern. Recovery involves challenging one’s vision, which stimulates energy flow and neurogenesis, enabling patients to experience immediate improvements. This therapeutic approach emphasizes the importance of stepping outside one’s comfort zone in visual habits to revitalize retinal cells.
