Eating the right foods is essential for healthy eyes and the maintenance of normal vision. In various studies and clinical trials antioxidant vitamins found in certain foods have been linked with eye health, although the evidence from supplement trials is inconclusive. The results of several large prospective cohort studies suggest that diets rich in fruits and vegetables, especially carotenoid and vitamin C-rich fruits and vegetables, are associated with good eye health. The antioxidant vitamins may help to maintain healthy cells and tissues in the eye.

There are two key antioxidant vitamins present in vitalsight® products that contribute to the maintenance of normal vision:

• Vitamin A (in vegetables this is derived from carotenoids such as beta-carotene) is necessary for normal vision and essential to proper functioning of the retina. It also helps prevent night blindness by helping the eye to adapt between bright light and darkness.
• Vitamin C is needed to make connective tissue and for healthy blood vessels, including those found in your eyes. It also contributes to cell protection from free radical damage.
