Diet & Nutrition for the Eye
Many optometrists are expanding their traditional roles to include other areas that affect eye health, such as nutrition.
Research has shown that nutrition can impact the development of cataracts and age-related macular degeneration (AMD),

Nutrition may be particularly important given that currently,
treatment options after diagnosis for these eye diseases are limited.

Eye-Friendly Vitamins & Nutrients
There’s no substitute for the quality of life good vision offers.
Adding certain nutrients to your diet every day – either through foods or supplements – can help save your vision.
Researchers have linked eye-friendly nutrients such as lutein/zeaxanthin, vitamin C, vitamin E,
and zinc to reducing the risk of certain eye diseases, including macular degeneration and cataract formation.
