Maintaining good eye health can be as simple as choosing the right foods. In this article, we'll explore the importance of healthy eating for your eyes and recommend some insightful books to enhance your knowledge on this topic.

The Power of Nutrient-Rich Foods: Eating for eye health doesn't have to be a complicated endeavour. Incorporating certain foods into your summer diet can provide essential nutrients that promote optimal vision. Antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta-carotene can help protect your eyes from oxidative damage caused by the sun's harmful UV rays. Adding Leafy greens, citrus fruits, colourful vegetables, and Omega-3 to your diet provides a source of vision-boosting nutrients that help to keep your eyes in top form.

Books to Deepen Your Knowledge:

Seddon, MD: This comprehensive guide offers insights into how specific foods and nutrients can help protect your eyes from common vision problems, including cataracts and AMD.

Maintaining healthy vision is important for everyone, and men can benefit from taking vitamin supplements specifically formulated to support eye health. In this article, we will discuss the benefits of three vitamin supplements that can improve eye health in men: Lacritec, Macutec, and Stiltec.

Lacritec is a daily vitamin supplement designed to improve tear production and relieve symptoms of dry eye. It contains omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and other nutrients that can improve tear quality and reduce ocular inflammation. Many men who suffer from dry eye can find relief with Lacritec which helps to stabilise the tear film, reducing discomfort.
Lacritec $31.95 60 caps- $99.85 200 caps

Macutec is a once a day supplement that is designed to support Macula and Retina health. It contains a blend of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that have been shown to support macular function to reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). AMD is a leading cause of vision loss among older adults, and by taking a supplement like Macutec you can help to reduce the risk of developing this condition.
Macutec $39.95 60 caps $74.95 120 caps

Stiltec Daily Multivitamin is a new daily vitamin supplement that supports overall eye health. It contains a blend of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support the health of the retina and reduce the risk of eye diseases. Stiltec also contains lutein and zeaxanthin, two nutrients that are particularly important for eye health and are often found in green leafy vegetables.
Stiltec Daily Multivitamin 39.95 60 tabs

These supplements are not a substitute for a healthy diet but can be a helpful addition to your daily routine. If you’re considering taking a vitamin supplement for eye health, it’s important to talk first to one of our optometrists or your eye health provider to determine which supplement that best suits your needs.
