Vitamins as Eye supplements

“Nature and books belong to eyes that see them" –Ralph Waldo Emerson



To comprehend beauty of nature or to unravel the unexplored journey of a book, one needs a healthy eye. But with age, eye’s capacity to see clearly goes down. One has to take essential eye vitamins to prevent or at least delay the onset of degeneration of eyes and the same is possible with intake of eye supplements. One can even take diets rich in vitamins and minerals which help in maintaining proper eyes health. Our modern day lifestyle changes have compelled us to consume eye supplements.



There are several Eye supplements available today in market and selection of one is really a difficult task. In general, good eye supplements must contain Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Zeaxanthin, Lutein etc. One of the most important and necessary vitamins for eyes are Anti-oxidant vitamins. Anti-oxidants vitamins in general include Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Vitamin E. Zeaxanthin and Luteins are another two vitamins which also falls in category of Anti oxidant vitamins and are responsible for proper eye health. Luteins are a pigment, found in eyes, and it absorbs light from the blue green section of spectrum.



Most of these vitamins can be obtained by consuming green leafy vegetables such as kale, cabbage, spinach, kiwi, pumpkin or some other fruits and vegetables. Due to modern day agricultural practices and heavy usage of pesticides and fungicides, most of these are devoid of eye vitamins which are essentials for eye health and taking eye supplements becomes necessary. These days even the physicians recommend taking eye supplements which has mix .of most of the vital vitamins and minerals for proper vision. Vitamin A can be in two forms: Retinol (derived from animal source from beef, chicken liver and cheese) and carotenoids (can be derived from carrots, sweet potato, spinach etc.) which are converted in the body to retinol and are responsible for protecting the surface of the eye ( cornea), treatment for dry eyes etc.



Eye supplements containing adequate amount of Vitamin C can help in reducing the chances of cataract. Vitamin C, an important eye vitamin, helps in reducing pressure associated with glaucoma. Vitamin C also protects the eye against damages from sun light. Vitamin C also supports recovery from surgery for detached retina and used for treating floaters. Hence, most of the eye supplements have Vitamin C in them in optimum daily recommended dosages. It is said, “It is better to trust your eyes than your ears" and for good eye health, taking proper eye supplements is must.
