Almost everyone has experienced problems with their eyes - as eye strain can occur from a genetic weakness, allergies or fatigue. How well our eyes function depends in large part on what we are eating, as proper nutrition is essential for maintaining healthy eyes. Relief can be found for the following eye problems when supported with the corresponding nutrients:

Blurred Vision - This occurs with nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and fatigue. Vision becomes blurred when there is a deficiency of the pigment called rhodopsin. Required nutrients include potassium for proper fluid balance and vitamin A for pigment formation and balance of intraocular fluid. The herbal extract from Bilberry has proven to improve both normal and night vision.

Cataracts - The eye is unable to focus when the lens thickens and becomes clouded. Cataracts cause vision loss that is painless and occurs slowly over time. Required nutrients include Glutathione which slows the progression of cataracts, Vitamin A works as an antioxidant to fight free radicals. Bilberry extract supplies needed bioflavonoids and Vitamin C can lower intraocular pressure.

Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye) - The membrane that lines the eye becomes inflamed, infected and filled with pus - from a bacterial infection or allergic response. Goldenseal and Eyebright are herbal remedies that fight infection. Vitamin C and Zinc work to enhance the immune system and fight against further inflammation.

Glaucoma - The fluid pressure increases within the eyeball, putting extra pressure on the retina and optic nerve. This pressure can cause vision loss and blindness. Glutathione protects the lens fiber membranes. Rutin is a bioflavonoid that when taken with Vitamin C, reduces intraocular pressure and helps to relieve pain. Bilberry contains nutrients which help to protect the eyes from further damage.

When you experience eye problems, protect your eyes the right way. Nourish your body with the nutrients it requires - your eyes are worth it.
