Certain vitamins and dietary supplements may prevent the progression of age-related eye disease, macular degeneration (AMD).
Certain vitamins and nutritional supplements can help prevent age-related vision problems, says ophthalmologist Dr. Barch Cooperman, director of the HealthGiven Herbert Eye Institute.
The National Eye Institute’s Age-Related Eye Disease Study found that foods rich in zinc, vitamins C and E, and other powerful antioxidants can prevent age-related vision problems from worsening.
These studies highlight the importance of supplements that can protect your eyes as you age, Dr. Barch Kuperman said.
Adding recommended antioxidants and other beneficial compounds to your daily routine can slow or reverse vision loss over time, he added.
