There’s an old English proverb that says the eyes are the windows to the soul.
有一句古老的英文諺語：眼睛是靈魂之窗
And every pet parent can tell you, that’s just as true for animals as it is for humans.
每個寵物的主人都可以告訴你，這對動物和人類來說同樣是正確的。
Your pet tells you so much with her eyes…
您的寵物透過眼睛向您傳達很多信息...
They light up with excitement when you walk in the door, and she looks at you with eager eyes when she’s begging to play.
當你入門口時，牠們的眼睛會因興奮而發亮，當牠撩你玩時，牠們的眼睛會用渴望的眼神看著你。
When she’s hurt or frightened, her eyes provide important signals that let you know she needs help or comfort.
當牠受傷或害怕時，牠們的眼睛會發出重要的信息，讓你知道牠需要幫助或安慰。
If your dog does something mischievous, his eyes communicate shame. And when your cat wants space to be left alone, his eyes will let you know it.
如果您的狗做左一啲百厭嘢，牠的眼睛會表達出羞愧。當你的貓想要一些獨處的空間時，牠的眼睛亦會告訴你。
Besides the role they play in communicating with you, your pet also relies on his eyes to enjoy all his regular activities, such as running, jumping, playing fetch and chasing toys.
除了在與你溝通方面發揮作用之外，你的寵物還依賴牠的眼睛來享受所有常規的活動，例如奔跑、跳躍、玩波波和追逐玩具。
Your pet’s eyes are among his most precious – and complex – organs. Because they are so important to his wellbeing, they warrant special care to help keep them working at their best.
你的寵物的眼睛是他最珍貴和複雜的器官之一。因為它們對牠的健康非常重要，所以它們需要特別的護理，以幫助保持它們的最佳狀態。
There are several things you should pay attention to as you monitor your pet’s eye health, and a few simple things you can do to help protect his eyes so he can enjoy an active life well into old age.
在你監測寵物的眼睛健康時，有幾件事情需要注意，並且有一些簡單的事情可以做來保護它的眼睛，使它能夠在老年時的生活保持活力。
First, let’s take a look at some of the unique and interesting features of cat and dog eyes…
首先，讓我們來看看貓和狗眼睛的一些獨特和有趣的特點...
Your Pet’s Eyes – Species-Specific Abilities Designed for Active Living and Survival
你寵物的眼睛 - 為了活躍的生活和生存而設計的物種特定能力
As a general rule, a mammal’s eyes don’t see as clearly as the eyes of a bird or a reptile. Some scientists think this may be because mammals’ ancestors used to live more nocturnal lives.
通常來說，哺乳動物的眼睛不如鳥類或爬行動物的眼睛清晰。一些科學家認為，這可能是因為哺乳動物的祖先曾經生活在更多的夜行生活中。
Many birds and reptiles have eyes designed to see detailed images for daytime hunting. Mammals, such as dogs, cats and humans, on the other hand, have eyes that pick up movement more than detail and adjust to changing light levels.
許多鳥類和爬行動物的眼睛設計用於白天狩獵時提供詳細影像。另一方面，狗、貓和人類等哺乳動物具有更多捕捉運動而非細節以及適應不斷變化的光線水平的眼睛。
Each animal species has unique eye functions that help them navigate their world. In dogs and cats, these fascinating features include:
每種動物物種的眼睛都有獨特功能，幫助牠們在自己的世界中生活。在狗和貓中，這些迷人的特點包括：
- Very large pupils to see well – better than their humans – in dim light conditions.
非常大的瞳孔，可以在昏暗的光線條件下看得比牠們的主人更清楚 - Dogs’ eyes have a circular iris muscle, the same as humans.
狗的眼睛有一個圓形的虹膜肌，與人類相同。 - Cats’ eyes have a figure-eight muscle that closes the iris way down to a slit, giving them better focus than dogs and humans.
貓的眼睛有一個八字形的肌肉，可以將虹膜完全關閉成一條縫，比狗和人類有更好的聚焦。 - Dogs and cats have more rods than cones in their eyes. Rods are used for detecting movement, while cones perceive color and details.
狗和貓的眼睛中擁有比錐狀細胞更多的桿狀細胞。桿狀細胞用於檢測運動，而錐狀細胞感知顏色和細節。 - Cats and long-nosed dogs have a “visual streak” that allows them to focus sharply at a distance, and gives them great peripheral vision.
貓和長鼻子的狗擁有一個“視線帶”，可以讓他們在遠處銳利地對焦，並給他們很好的周邊視覺。 - Instead of a visual streak, short-nosed dogs have high density vision cells that give them an advantage in reading their owner’s facial expressions.
短鼻子的狗沒有視線帶，但他們擁有高密度的視覺細胞，使他們在閱讀主人的面部表情時更有優勢。 - Cats and dogs have a third eyelid, called the nictitating membrane, that works as a thin shutter to protect the eyeball.
貓和狗擁有第三眼瞼，稱為眼瞼膜，作為保護眼球的薄快門。
Even though they’re now domesticated and don’t rely heavily on these features for pure survival, they still play a big part in how they experience and interact with the world…
即使牠們現在被馴養了，不再依賴這些功能來生存，牠們仍然在牠們體驗和互動世界中發揮著重要作用...
Understanding How Your Pet Sees the World
了解你的寵物點去睇野
Color, shape, movement, details… all of these compose the picture your pet takes in through her eyes – her picture of the world.
顏色、形狀、運動、細節......所有這些構成了你的寵物通過眼睛所看到的影像 - 牠對世界的影像。
Because your dog or cat has fewer cones in her eyes, he sees colors less vividly than you do, with yellow, green and blue being the clearest.
由於你的狗或貓眼睛中的錐狀細胞較少，所以他看到的顏色不如你那麼鮮明，黃色、綠色和藍色是最清晰的。
He also sees better in the dark than you, with a layer of special reflective cells, called the tapetum lucidum, that reflects and enhances any light entering his eyes.
他在黑暗中的視力也比你好，有一層特殊的反射細胞層，稱為明亮網膜，可以反射和增強進入他眼睛的任何光線。
While there are exceptions, most dogs see forms and movement rather than sharp images with detailed features. Your dog relies heavily on his keen sense of smell to “read” his world, so for him, vision is secondary.
雖然有例外，但大多數狗看到的是形狀和運動，而不是具有詳細特徵的銳利圖像。你的狗非常依賴他敏銳的嗅覺去“閱讀”他的世界，所以對他來說，視覺是次要的。
While your cat also relies on her highly-developed sense of smell, sight is a little more important for her.
雖然你的貓也依賴牠高度發展的嗅覺，但視覺對她來說更加重要。
The unique slit-shaped design of her iris muscles allows her to see well in dim light, and her ability to focus on objects and detect movement is highly refined…
她虹膜肌的獨特縫狀設計使她能夠在昏暗的光線下看得很清楚，她對物體的聚焦能力和偵測運動的能力也非常精細......
Your cat needs only one-sixth the amount of light for seeing that you do. But don’t believe any stories you hear about cats being able to see in total darkness. Her capabilities don’t go that far.
你的貓只需要你所需要的六分之一的光線就能看到東西。但不要相信你聽到的任何有關貓能夠在完全黑暗中看到的故事。牠的能力沒有那麼強。
Your dog requires around twice as much light for seeing as a cat, but only one-third as much as you, giving him exceptional night vision as well.
你的狗需要大約兩倍的光線來看到東西，但只需要你的三分之一，因此他的夜視能力亦非常出色。
Dogs and cats have evolved in a natural world where darkness offers advantages – and sometimes, the key to survival. Wild dogs escape to their dens to rest in safety and away from the glaring sun.
狗和貓在自然世界中進化，黑暗提供了優勢 - 有時候，是生存的關鍵。野狗逃到牠們的巢穴中休息，遠離炙熱的陽光。
In the wild, cats and dogs move freely in ever-changing light conditions. In contrast, domesticated pets live in an artificially lit world that can be stressful for them and their eyes.
在野外，貓和狗在不斷變化的光線條件下自由移動。相比之下，飼養的寵物生活在一個人工照明的世界中，這對牠們和牠們的眼睛可能會產生壓力。
I recommend having at least one space in your home where your pet can retreat into darkness, or at least escape the continuous glare of artificial fluorescent lights.
我建議在你的家中至少有一個空間，讓你的寵物可以退到黑暗中，或者逃離不斷閃爍的人工熒光燈。
And if your pet spends a lot of time outdoors, be sure she has access to a shady spot.
如果你的寵物經常在戶外，請確保她有一個遮陰的地方。
How Healthy Are Your Pet’s Eyes?
你寵物的眼睛有幾健康？
Your pet’s eyes can provide valuable clues about his health because they’re connected to both the vascular and neurological systems.
你的寵物的眼睛可以提供非常有價值有關牠健康狀況的資訊，因為它們與血管系統和神經系統都有關聯。
Do you know the characteristics of healthy eyes? The ASPCA offers nine tips to help you recognize healthy eyes and spot clues to issues that warrant a visit to your veterinarian:
你知道健康眼睛的特徵嗎？ ASPCA 提供了九個提示，幫助你如何識別健康的眼睛，並指出睇獸醫的蛛絲馬跡：
- Sit facing your pet in a brightly lit area and look into his eyes. With dogs, the eyes should be clear and bright, and the area around the eyeball, the sclera, white. The pupils should be equal in size and there shouldn't be tearing, discharge or any crust in the corners of his eyes. If there is cloudiness, change in eye color or a yellow-tinged sclera, unequal pupil sizes, or a visible third eyelid, check with your vet.
坐在照明充足的地方，面對你的寵物，看著他的眼睛。對於狗，眼睛應該清晰明亮，眼球周圍的區域，眼白應該是白色的。瞳孔應該大小相等，眼角不應有流淚、分泌物或結痂。如果有混濁、眼睛顏色變化或黃色調的巩膜、瞳孔大小不等或可見第三眼瞼，請你去睇獸醫。 - Take a closer look by gently rolling down your pet’s lower eyelid with your thumb until you can see the lining. It should be pink, not red or white.
輕輕拉下你的寵物的下眼瞼，直到你可以看到眼瞼內側。它應該是粉紅色的，而不是紅色或白色的。 - Clean your pet’s eyes gently to remove dirt and discharge. Use a damp cotton ball, wiping outward from the corner of the eye, and use extreme care not to touch his eyeball or scratch his cornea. If you notice persistent runny eyes and discharge, please see your veterinarian. Your pet may have an infection.
輕輕地清潔你的寵物的眼睛，以去除污垢和分泌物。使用濕棉球，從眼角向外擦拭，極其小心，不要碰到他的眼球或刮傷角膜。如果你注意到持續流眼淚和分泌物，請諮詢你的獸醫。你的寵物可能有感染。 - Keep hair trimmed around your pet’s eyes. Using scissors with rounded tips, carefully trim the hair around your dog’s eyes to keep his vision clear and prevent hairs from poking and scratching.
修剪你寵物眼睛周圍的毛髮。使用圓頭剪刀小心地修剪你狗狗眼周的毛髮，以保持他的視力清晰，防止毛髮刺激和刮傷眼睛。 - Avoid using irritating soaps, shampoos and topical sprays or lotions. Protect your dog’s eyes before bathing him or applying ointments or flea-control formulas.
避免使用刺激性的肥皂、洗髮水和局部噴霧或乳液。在給你的狗洗澡或應用藥膏或防蚤配方之前，保護他的眼睛。 - Watch your pet’s behavior. Does he frequently paw or rub his eyes? Does he frequently squint?
觀察你寵物的行為。他是否經常用爪子搔抓眼睛？他是否經常眯眼？ - As much as dogs love feeling the wind in their face, when you drive with your pet, make sure his head stays inside the car. The wind can dry your dog’s eyes or cause potential irritation, infection or injury if a bug or debris hits his eye.
盡管狗喜歡感受風吹在臉上，但當你帶你的寵物出行時，請確保他的頭部留在車內。風可以讓你的狗的眼睛變乾，如果昆蟲或碎片擊中他的眼睛或造成潛在的刺激、感染或受傷。 - Know your pet’s breed’s reputation for eye health. Is he a breed that might need a little more attention to maintain optimal eye health?
了解你的寵物品種在眼睛健康方面的問題。他是需要更多注意以維持最佳眼睛健康的品種嗎？ - Schedule regular well-pet checkups, and be sure your vet checks your pet’s eyes during each visit.
定期進行寵物健康檢查，並確保你的獸醫在每次訪問中檢查你的寵物的眼睛。
Paying attention to these easy practices and important cues will help you keep your pet’s eyes healthy. Then, if an issue arises, you can catch it early before it worsens.
關注這些簡單的做法和重要的資訊，將幫助保持你的寵物的眼睛健康。如果出現問題，你可以及早發現，避免情況惡化。
A Special Group of Cats and Dogs You Should Keep an Especially Close Eye On
需要特別關注牠們眼睛的特殊貓狗品種
Every pet owner should follow these tips, but there’s a special group of animals that warrant extra attention.
每位寵物主人都應該遵循這些提示，但有部份貓狗需要特別關注。
Being in this group is no guarantee your pet will have eye trouble, but the animals in this group are more prone to develop eye issues than other pets.
身處於以下組別中並唔係話一定會有眼睛問題，但這些寵物會比其他寵物更容易出現眼睛問題。
These animals, beloved by many pet parents for their sweet faces, are known as brachycephalic breeds.
有一啲被稱為「寬頭動物」品種嘅寵物，因為靚嘅外表而深受寵物主人喜愛。
The word brachycephalic, which comes from Greek, means “short head.” Sometimes they’re described as “flat-faced.” Whatever word you use to describe them, they have short snouts and widely-spaced eyes.
"Brachycephalic" 這個詞來自希臘語，意思是“短頭”。有時也被形容為“扁臉”。無論你用什麼詞來形容牠們，牠們共同之處孩都有短的口鼻部和較寬間距的眼睛。
Cat and dog breeds in this category include:
在這個類別中的貓和狗品種包括：
- Persian 波斯貓
- Himalayan 喜馬拉雅貓
- Burmese 緬甸貓
- Bulldog, French and English 老虎狗 (包括英國老虎同法國老虎)
- Pug 八哥
- Boston Terrier 波士頓梗
- Boxer 拳師狗
- Pekingese 北京狗
- Shih Tzu 西施狗
These pets have nasal bones that are more compacted than other pets, making their eyes more prominent in their faces. Sometimes, this prominence can expose their eyes to injury or make it difficult for their eyelids to completely cover their eyes when closed.
這些寵物的鼻骨比其他寵物更加扁平，使牠們的眼睛在臉上更加突出。有時，這種突出會讓牠們的眼睛暴露在受傷風險中，或者在閉眼時難以完全覆蓋眼睛。
These are both issues that require attention from a veterinarian.
這些都是需要獸醫關注的問題。
Following the ASPCA tips will help you spot issues that need a vet’s attention early on and help you optimize your brachycephalic pet’s vision and eye health.
遵循 ASPCA 的提示，可以幫助你及早發現需要獸醫關注的問題，並幫助改善你的寬頭寵物的視力和眼睛健康。
Also, pay special attention to your pet’s eyes if she has long hair around her face that can cause irritation to her eyes. This includes breeds such as Maltese, Sheepdogs and Poodles.
此外，如果你的寵物在臉部周圍有長毛會刺激她的眼睛，也要特別注意牠的眼睛。這包括魔天使、牧羊犬和貴婦狗等品種。
Whatever your pet’s breed, her eyes will benefit from your increased attention as she ages to help her maintain her normal active lifestyle.
無論你的寵物是什麼品種，隨著年齡增長，牠的眼睛都需要你更多的關注，以幫助牠維持正常的活躍生活方式。
How Normal Aging May Affect Your Pet’s Eyes
正常衰老如何影響你寵物的眼睛
Just as changes occur in your eyes as you get older, changes also occur in your pet’s eyes as a normal part of the aging process.
正如人隨著年齡的增長而眼睛發生變化一樣，寵物的眼睛也會在正常的衰老過程中發生變化。
A common change that many cat and dog owners notice is a clouding of the lens, often seen in dogs over the age of six and cats over the age of ten. Called “nuclear sclerosis,” this cloudiness usually develops in both eyes and can be alarming if you don't know it’s a normal and painless process of aging.
許多貓狗主人注意到的一個常見變化是晶狀體混濁，通常出現在六歲以上的狗和十歲以上的貓。這種稱為“核硬化”的混濁通常會在兩只眼睛中發展，如果你不知道這是一個正常且無痛的衰老過程，可能會令你感到驚慌。
Nuclear sclerosis comes on gradually, and even though your pet may not see as well up close – much like a middle-aged person who needs reading glasses – he adapts well to the minor changes in vision that it causes.
核硬化逐漸發展，即使你的寵物近距離視力不太好 - 就像需要老花眼鏡的中年人一樣 - 他也能很好地適應其引起的輕微視力變化。
Dogs often experience another normal change when the tapetum lucidum, the layer of reflective cells that help with night vision, begins to get thinner.
狗狗通常會經歷另一種正常的變化，就係狗的反光細胞層網膜鏡會變薄，而這些細胞係幫助夜間睇嘢嘅能力。
If your dog becomes hesitant to go outside at night, it may be due to this process, which decreases his night vision. Extra lighting can help ease his uncertainty.
如果你的狗變得不願晚上外出，這可能是由於這個過程，它會降低牠的夜視能力。增加照明可以幫助減輕他的不確定性。
On the flip side, some dogs become more light-sensitive as they age.
另一方面，一些狗隨著年齡增長會變得對光線更加敏感。
When this happens, it’s because the muscle in the iris that constricts the pupil weakens, making bright light less tolerable. This is also a normal change that progresses slowly and shouldn't interfere greatly with your dog’s everyday living.
當這種情況發生時，是因為虹膜中收縮瞳孔的肌肉變弱，使狗狗不能忍受強光。這其實是一種正常的變化，過程緩慢兼且不應對你的狗的日常生活造成很大干擾。
If you notice any changes in your pet’s eyes that appear suddenly, or anything that starts to concern you, don’t delay a visit to your veterinarian.
如果你注意到你的寵物的眼睛出現任何突然的變化，或者有任何開始讓你擔心的情況，請立即向你的獸醫尋求協助。
Now that you have a good picture of what’s normal, let’s take a look at ways you can help your pet maintain healthy vision and ocular function.
現在你已經了解了什麼是正常的，讓我們來看看你可以怎樣幫助我的寵物保持健康視力和眼部功能。
How These Special Phytonutrients Promote Healthy Vision and Eye Function
這些特殊的植物營養素如何促進健康視力和眼睛功能
A healthy diet rich in antioxidants is key to supporting your pet’s vision and eye health.
能夠攝取豐富抗氧化劑的健康飲食對於支持您寵物的視力和眼睛健康至關重要。
Antioxidants are special phytonutrients (“phyto” is Greek for “plant”) that help protect your pet’s cells by fighting free radicals in her body.
抗氧化劑是一種特殊的植物營養素（“phyto”是希臘語“植物”的意思），它們通過對抗寵物體內的自由基來幫助保護寵物的細胞。
To understand how antioxidants work, consider the case of a bicycle that’s left outside in the rain…
要了解抗氧化劑的工作原理，可以將一架單車放喺室外淋雨做例子...
As the oxygen molecules in the water react with the iron in the metal, a chemical reaction takes place called oxidation. We know it as rust, a sign of break down and decay.
當水中的氧氣份子與金屬中的鐵產生反應時，就會發生一個化學反應，稱為氧化。我們知道它是銹，這是一個破壞和腐爛的跡象。
It’s not much different with your pet’s body – or your own, for that matter.
同一情況，其實對於你的寵物或你自己的身體也沒有太大的分別。
In the body, unstable oxygen-containing molecules are called free radicals, and they travel throughout your pet’s body searching for electrons to steal from stable molecules. When they succeed, the exchange of electrons that takes place is called oxidation.
在身體中，不穩定的含氧份子稱為自由基，它們在你的寵物的身體中遊走，尋找並偷取穩定份子中的電子。當它們成功時，所發生的電子交換被稱為氧化。
Without antioxidants to absorb excessive free radicals, your pet’s body experiences oxidative stress. Even though it’s not visible, like the rust on a bicycle, damage as a result of too many free radicals takes place in your pet’s cells.
如果沒有抗氧化劑來吸收過多的自由基，你的寵物的身體就會經歷氧化激活。即使它不像自行車上的銹那樣可見，但由於自由基過多而導致的損傷會在你的寵物的細胞中發生。
Eye tissues are especially sensitive to this oxidative stress from free radical damage.
眼部組織對來自自由基損傷的氧化應活尤其敏感。
Antioxidants pair with the unstable free radical molecules, helping to neutralize them and minimize oxidative stress on your pet's cells.
抗氧化劑與不穩定的自由基份子結合，幫助中和它們並將對你寵物細胞的氧化激活減到最少。
Making sure your pet eats a healthy quantity of antioxidants is important for her vision and eye health, especially if your pet is aging or if she is a dog with a shorter muzzle and protruding eyes.
確保你的寵物攝取足夠的抗氧化劑是對牠的視力和眼睛健康至為重要，尤其是如果你的寵物正步入老年或者牠是一隻短口鼻和突出眼睛的狗。
Feed Your Pet These Superfoods to Boost Her Antioxidant Intake
餵食這些超級食物以增加寵物攝取抗氧化劑的量
Plant foods are rich in antioxidants, such as polyphenols, vitamins and minerals. But cats and dogs are natural carnivores, which means they need to eat mostly meat.
植物食品富含抗氧化劑，如多酚、維生素和礦物質。但貓和狗是天然的肉食動物，這意味著它們需要攝入大量的肉類。
So, how do they get enough antioxidants?
那麼，牠們如何攝取足夠的抗氧化劑呢？
In the wild, they eat prey, and the stomachs of those prey contain small amounts of fruits and vegetables. While it’s only a small amount, it’s crucial to maintaining their health. And the same is true for your pet.
在野外，牠們吃獵物，獵物的胃中含有少量的水果和蔬菜。雖然數量很少，但對維持它們的健康至關重要。對於你的寵物也是同樣如此。
I recommend feeding your pet a species-specific diet with natural antioxidants as the ideal way to support your pet’s vision.
我建議餵食特定物種的食物以便攝取其中天然抗氧化劑是支持你寵物視力的理想方式。
Here are some of the best vegetable, fruit, and protein sources of antioxidants for your pet’s eyes. I recommend feeding them raw (unless otherwise noted) and in the case of fruits and veggies, gently puréed for optimal digestion:
以下是一些來自蔬菜、水果和蛋白質的抗氧化劑可以供給寵物眼睛所需。我建議生餵（除非另有說明），並輕輕磨碎水果和蔬菜以得到最佳的消化：
- Blueberries – Carotenoids, phytonutrients and flavonoids
藍莓 - 胡蘿蔔素、植物營養素和類黃酮 - Carrots – Vitamin A and beta-carotene
胡蘿蔔 - 維生素A和β-胡蘿蔔素 - Kale – The antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin
羽衣甘藍 - 抗氧化劑葉黃素和玉米黃質 - Broccoli – Beta-carotene
西蘭花 - β-胡蘿蔔素 - Sweet Potatoes – Beta-carotene and anthocyanins (Always serve to your pet well cooked)
甘薯 - β-胡蘿蔔素和花青素（必須煮熟後餵食寵物） - Eggs – Lutein, sulfur and cysteine (Feed lightly cooked or raw if your pet tolerates them)
雞蛋 - 葉黃素、硫和半胱氨酸（如果你的寵物能夠接受，輕輕煮熟或生餵） - Sardines and Salmon – Omega-3 fatty acids, especially DHA (Any raw salmon must be deep-frozen for at least seven days before feeding)
沙丁魚和三文魚 - Omega-3脂肪酸，特別是DHA（任何生三文魚在餵食前必須深度冷凍至少七天）
If you’re still feeding your pet a commercial diet, you can boost her antioxidant intake by mixing in some of these foods.
如果你仍然餵食乾糧或罐頭，可以通過混合這些食物來增加寵物的抗氧化劑攝入量。
Every step you take to improve your pet’s diet, no matter how small, can promote good eye and overall health.
你採取的每一步去改善寵物的飲食，無論多少，都可以促進眼睛和整體健康。
This ’King of the Carotenoids Delivers Mighty Antioxidant Benefits for Your Pet’s Eyes
這種「類胡蘿蔔素之王」為你的寵物的眼睛帶來強大的抗氧化益處
Carotenoids are an important class of colorful antioxidants that includes beta-carotene, lycopene and lutein.
類胡蘿蔔素是一類重要的彩色抗氧化劑，包括β-胡蘿蔔素、番茄紅素和葉黃素。
Responsible for the bright yellow, orange and red hues of many fruits and vegetables, as well as the reddish coloring of some sea creatures, they help promote healthy vision.
許多水果和蔬菜鮮明的黃、橙和紅色，以及某些海洋生物的紅色顏色，有助於促進健康的視力。
Among this class of antioxidants, one stands out for its exceptional bioactivity…
在這類抗氧化劑中，有一種因其卓越的生物活性而脫穎而出...
Astaxanthin, known as “king of the carotenoids,” possesses antioxidant capacity up to…
這就是「類胡蘿蔔素之王」 - 花青素，具有的抗氧化能力高達...
- 65 times more powerful than vitamin C.
比維他命C高65倍。 - 54 times more powerful than beta-carotene.
比β-胡蘿蔔素高54倍。 - 5 times more powerful than lutein.
- 比葉黃素高5倍。
Astaxanthin exhibits uniquely strong free radical scavenging ability, helping to protect your pet’s cells, organs and tissues from oxidative damage. It’s also far more effective than other carotenoids at “singlet oxygen quenching,” a process that helps stop a certain type of oxidation.
花青素表現出獨特兼強大的自由基清除能力，有助於保護你的寵物的細胞、器官和組織免受氧化損傷。它還比其他類胡蘿蔔素更有效地進行「單態氧清除」，這是一種幫助阻止某種類型的氧化的過程。
Your pet can’t make his own astaxanthin, so he must obtain it from his diet. There are only a small handful of sources, and they all have one thing in common…
您的寵物無法自行生產花青素，因此必須從飲食中攝取。只有少數來源，它們都有一個共同點...
They eat the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis.
它們吃微藻Haematococcus pluvialis。
This little aquatic organism is typically found in shallow bodies of water that dry up from time to time, such as rock pools along the seacoast.
這種小型水生生物通常生活在時而乾涸的淺水區域，例如沿海岩石池塘。
It generates astaxanthin as a protective response when its water supply dries up. Then the water rises again, and it gets consumed by sea animals such as wild salmon, krill, shrimp and lobster.
當它的水源枯竭時，它會產生花青素作為保護反應。然後水再次上升，它就被野生三文魚、磷蝦、蝦和龍蝦等海洋動物所食用。
The only way to get astaxanthin naturally is to eat something that’s in the food chain of the microalgae or the original source of the red antioxidant pigment itself.
獲取花青素的唯一自然方法是吃微藻的食物鏈中的東西或紅色抗氧化劑色素本身的原始來源。
Bark & Whiskers™ Eye Support features astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis to provide its super-antioxidant power for supporting optimal vision and eye health.
Bark & Whiskers™ Eye Support提供了來自Haematococcus pluvialis的花青素，以提供其超級抗氧化功效以支援最佳視力和眼睛健康。
Can Antioxidants That Protect Plants From Excess Light Also Protect Your Pet’s Eyes?
能夠保護植物免受過多光線傷害的抗氧化劑也能保護你的寵物的眼睛嗎？
Among the carotenoids that promote health in your pet’s eyes, two are most notable.
在促進寵物眼睛健康的類胡蘿蔔素中，有兩種是最值得注意的。
These powerful polyphenols promote healthy eye function by fighting free radicals that have the potential to cause damage to cells.
這些強大的多酚類物質通過對抗潛在造成細胞損傷的自由基來促進眼睛健康功能。
They are found in high concentrations in parts of the eye crucial for clear sight and play an important role in supporting normal visual function. However, your pet’s body doesn’t produce these antioxidants, so they must be supplied by her diet.
它們在眼睛的關鍵部位中含量高，對支持正常視覺功能發揮重要作用。然而，你的寵物的身體無法產生這些抗氧化劑，因此必須通過飲食來補充。
These antioxidants, lutein and zeaxanthin, are found in many leafy green plants and colorful fruits and vegetables. And in dogs, they are found in high concentrations in a part of the eye called the macula.
這些抗氧化劑，即葉黃素和玉米黃質，存在於許多深綠色植物和色彩豐富的水果和蔬菜中。在狗狗身上，它們在眼睛的一部分，黃斑部位中含量很高。
The macula is a tiny little spot at the back of the retina with big responsibilities. It contains a high concentration of photoreceptor cells that perform the job of detecting light, perceiving color and delivering the fine details of your pet’s central vision to his brain.
黃斑部位是位於視網膜後面的微小點，具有重要的職責。它包含高濃度的光感受器細胞，能夠檢測光線、感知顏色，並將你的寵物的中央視覺的細節傳遞到大腦中。
Your cat doesn’t have a macula, but lutein and zeaxanthin are found in high concentrations in his retina, the part of the eye that receives and organizes visual information.
貓貓沒有黃斑部位，但葉黃素和玉米黃質在他的視網膜中含量很高，這是接收和整理視覺信息的眼睛部位。
In nature, lutein and zeaxanthin have been observed to function in plants by absorbing excess light energy to prevent damage from too much sunlight, especially from high-energy sunrays.
在自然界中，葉黃素和玉米黃質通過吸收多餘的光能來防止過多日光照射造成損傷，特別是來自高能量的陽光。
Another powerful eye support herb included in our Eye Support formula is Bilberry. This little shrub, with fruit that look like blueberries, is loaded with anthocyanins.
我們眼睛保健配方中還包括另一種強大的眼睛保健草藥 - 越橘。這種外形類似藍莓的灌木植物充滿花青素。
Anthocyanins are another type of antioxidants that support your pet’s healthy eye function.
花青素是另一類抗氧化劑，有助於支持你的寵物眼睛健康功能。
In particular, they are found in his eyes’ aqueous humor, the thick watery substance that surrounds the lens and cornea. The aqueous humor maintains healthy eye pressure and transports antioxidants and other nutrients to other eye tissues.
