Preserving your vision as you age

A majority of adults believe that eventually losing their vision as they age is inevitable and that there is nothing that can be done to prevent that from happening. There are many factors associated with various eye conditions that cause vision loss and while something like genetic predisposition cannot be altered, there are things that you can do to help maintain healthy vision. Eating a diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables, which are high in lutein and zeaxanthin is probably the most beneficial thing you can do to protect your eyes. Bright leafy greans such as kale and spinach as well as pumpkin, and butternut squash are excellent sources. Lutein and zeaxanthin are important antioxidants that are critical for eye health but sadly, most Americans do not get enough of these essential elements in their diets. Since most people do not get the necessary amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin along with other vitamins and minerals that are important for ocular function, vitamin supplementation is recommended. VisiVite's Balanced Ocular Support is specifically formulated to help maintain eye health. For people who suffer from dry eye syndrome, a greater intake of omega-3 fatty acids can help reduce those symptoms. VisiVite's Dry Eye Relief is a patented formula rich in omega-3 fatty acids and has been clinically proven to lessen dry eye symptoms. As the old adage goes, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". Take steps now to preserve your vision for the future.*
