Our eyes are one of our most valuable and complex organs that need many different vitamins and nutrients to function properly. Common conditions, such as diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma and cataracts, can impact your eyes. Though a variety of different factors causes these conditions, nutrition seems to have an influence on all of them. Oral supplementation with the Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) formulation (antioxidant vitamins C and E, cartenoids and zinc) has been shown to reduce the risk of progression to advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
