Waste doesn’t strike you as an amazing product, does it? It’s just trash! Except we could go blind without it.
New research has shown that a waste product of the retina actually powers part of our eyes! It fuels the rods and cones that give us the ability to sense light. If this didn’t occur, that single part of the eye would begin to use glucose from the retina which leads to the death of retinal cells. In turn, you would lose your sense of sight!
“Rods and cones are very active, and they need a lot of energy to do their jobs. Exactly how they get this energy has long been a mystery.”
Who knew something that would be considered garbage could be so necessary? What we may view as useless can be the thing that creates success!
