What was said

"In terms of importance for the retina, DHA actually makes up 50 to 60% of the mass of that retina as building blocks to make it function the way it's supposed to."

The presenter reveals that the omega-3 fatty acid DHA constitutes half to over half of the retina's physical mass, emphasizing its critical structural role in eye health beyond general nutritional support. This data point is used to argue for wild-caught fatty fish consumption as essential for vision maintenance and disease prevention.
