Supplements for Eyes

TL;DR

something.

There's very little evidence that eye health focussed supplements (or increasing consumption of suitable foods) improves or maintains eye health, slows or stops age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or improves night vision, if you don't have a deficiency. Those who eat a varied, wholefood diet that includes dairy, fruit and vegetables are unlikely to Most multivitamins will contain an appropriate amount of vitamin a, the range of vitamin bs, vitamin e and zinc.

There is some evidence lutein and zeaxanthin may decrease the risk of developing nuclear cataract.

Vegetarian athletes and vegans need to be careful.
