Rishi SinghHOST
Maybe you could tell us a little bit about that study, but what other relevant data has been on this topic of recent years?

Lejla VajzovicGUEST
So before we kind of dive in the landmark clinical trials that we all are very familiar with, I'm going to just kind of highlight a couple other things.

Lejla VajzovicGUEST
Laboratory and epidemiologic studies that suggested that several micronutrients could protect the retinol from oxidative injury.

Lejla VajzovicGUEST
And that very much led to kind of helping us create and design clinical trials.

Lejla VajzovicGUEST
So vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta-carotene function as antioxidants that can very much help neutralize the free radicals.

Lejla VajzovicGUEST
Zinc plays a central role in retinal metabolism specifically and is present in high concentration within the retina and RP, although retinal zinc levels decline with age.

Lejla VajzovicGUEST
And then lastly, the copper was included in formulation because high-dose zinc supplementation can induce copper deficiencies.

What kind of misconceptions do you hear from your patients or from other providers and how do you sort of address them?

Lejla VajzovicGUEST
Well, I can tell, I can tell you that I loved the machine, but my staff loved it even more.

Lejla VajzovicGUEST
it's much, uh, lighter, it's easier to maneuver in terms of all of the setup.

Lejla VajzovicGUEST
It's, uh, much more stream- streamlined in terms of the design, so they really almost enjoyed wheeling this around the OR.
