Vision-Boosting Supplements

The eye is a vital organ that requires a sufficient amount of vitamins and supplements to function well. Regardless of any age group, one can experience a reduction in eyesight at any time. Besides medical and surgical therapies, vision-boosting supplements such as lutein, zinc, and vitamin C may help improve eye health. Other essential supplements and vitamins include vitamins B and E and omega-3 fatty acids.

1. The benefits of lutein

Lutein is a pigment that plays an important role in various eye parts such as macula and retina density. The pigment also protects the eyes from ultraviolet light and from conditions such as cataracts and macular disease. Lutein supplements help to increase eye vision and prevent the progression of eye diseases in the elderly. Fruits and vegetables rich in lutein combined with lutein supplements are preferred for elderly people with eye disorders.

2. The zinc factor

Zinc is an antioxidant that is vital in the formation of retinal pigments known as melanin. Melanin is necessary to protect the eyes from ultraviolet light. Zinc helps vitamin A produce melanin. Zinc supplements used with other supplements can help improve vision. Zinc also plays a role in preventing diseases such as night blindness and macular disease.

3. Vision improvement with vitamin C

Vitamin C is one of the important vitamins that aids in boosting vision. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that gives protection to the eyes and prevents disorders such as cataracts. Vitamin C combined with other supplements may help in preventing the progression of other diseases and vision loss.

Do supplements improve vision?

The improvement in eyesight depends on multiple factors such as age, genetics, and diet. Supplements along with a healthy diet and lifestyle can make a positive difference in one’s eye health. Eating a diet with a lot of fruits and vegetables that are high in antioxidants can boost vision. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle such as wearing sunglasses, avoiding smoking, and being physically active are also essential.

Choosing the right supplement

Before buying any supplements, consult a healthcare provider for advice. Let the healthcare provider know if there are any current medications being taken to avoid any possible drug interactions. When deciding to purchase supplements, do not forget to read the label, precautions, and instructions.

When to seek help

Generally, depending on the age, getting a routine eye check-up every 1-2 years is important. If a serious or possible health issue is found, then the doctor may refer the patient to another eye specialist. There are some symptoms that should not be overlooked including decreased vision, redness, blurred vision, floaters or flashes, and double vision. If there are any side effects from supplements, seek immediate help to avoid further complications.
