Eating the right foods will benefit your entire body, including your eyes. The eye is an organ that requires a lot of oxygen*, so it is particularly susceptible to oxidative stress (an imbalance in the production of free radicals). It also has a high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids, and significant exposure to visible light.
These and a number of studies that have shown that eating the right balance of nutrients can slow the progression of eye diseases or prevent problems, particularly in people who:
- Have a family history of macular degeneration
- Suffer from Diabetes
- Have someone in the family that suffers from retinitis pigmentosa
- Are older and therefore more susceptible to eye diseases and disorders.
Studies show that a combination of antioxidants and zinc reduces the risk of progression to advanced AMD by approx. 25% in those with intermediate AMD or advanced AMD in one eye*.
