It is recommended to take multivitamin containing at least 500 mg vitamin C, 400 IU vitamin E, 15 mg beta-carotene and 80 mg zinc daily. Zinc has been shown to help protect the eyes from the damaging effects of light and to slow vision loss due to macular degeneration.

Omega 3 fatty acids

Omega 3, which is found in oily fish, can help protect the eyes and maintain the vision, and should be included  in any plan for eye health and retaining vision.

Bilberry and blackcurrant

Taurine is an amino acid that is essential for correct eye function. Taurine occurs naturally in food, especially in seafood and meat.

Euphrasia (Eyebright)

This herb is used for eye-strain, whose symptoms are fatigue, pain in or around the eyes, blurred vision, headache and occasional double vision. These symptoms often occur after reading, computer work, or other close activities that involve tedious visual tasks.

Vitamin B2 (riboflavin)

Flours and cereals are often fortified with riboflavin.

Yumberry

“Yumberry” OPC (Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins) is a kind of water-soluble pigment and is one of the major types of pigments composing the colors of flower petals and fruit. It is a very effective antioxidant. Human body cannot produce OPC by itself as plants are the only source of OPC.

    Great! buy eye supplements are nutritional products that contain vitamins and other nutrients that research has shown to be beneficial for maintaining eye health and good vision.

    As their name suggests, eye supplements are designed to add to, not replace, nutrients you get from a healthful diet. Taking dietary supplements cannot completely make up for serious nutritional shortcomings of a poor diet and too much junk food, which are associated with many serious health problems including vision loss...... Suggested, we still have to go for Optometrist for regular check up every year.
