As we age, our eyes become more susceptible to damage caused by an unhealthy lifestyle and an overactive immune system, which leads to the accumulation of protective cells and hormones that can have a harmful effect on the eyes.
- Zinc - is a mineral that helps maintain the health of the eye's retina, cell membranes, and protein structure of the eye. It enables vitamin A to move from the liver to the retina to produce melanin. Melanin is a pigment that protects the eyes from UV radiation.
- Vitamin A - plays a key role in vision - maintaining a clear cornea, which is the outer layer of the eye. This vitamin is also a component of rhodopsin - a protein in the eyes that enables vision in low-light conditions.
- Lutein - As antioxidants, lutein and zeaxanthin may reduce oxidative damage to the retina. Studies suggest that taking about 6 milligrams (mg) of lutein and zeaxanthin per day may reduce the risk of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD). A daily intake of 0.5-1 mg may also reduce the risk of developing glaucoma.
- Blackcurrant fruits - blackcurrant is known for its high anthocyanoside content, which not only has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties but also has a beneficial effect on microcirculation, improves night vision, and enables the eyes to adapt to changes in lighting. Blackcurrant, which contains 10 times more antioxidants than vitamin C and 50 times more than vitamin E, has beneficial effects on eye diseases such as age-related macular degeneration, reduces retinal inflammation, and retinopathy. Blackcurrant is suggested as a treatment for retinopathy (retinal damage) because anthocyanosides appear to protect the retina. Blackcurrant also shows protective effects against age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, and cataracts. However, more research is needed on this.
- Grape seeds - grape seed extract contains numerous phytochemicals: flavonoids, linoleic acid, vitamin E, and oligomeric proanthocyanidins, which are considered beneficial for people suffering from eye strain, diabetic retinopathy, cataracts, and age-related macular degeneration. Oligomeric proanthocyanidins improve overall eye health due to their antihistamine and antioxidant properties.
- Quercetin - this antioxidant protects the eye's retina and supports clear and sharp vision. In animals, quercetin appears to affect the transparency of the lens, which is great news for people suffering from cataracts.
- Taurine - can effectively repair retinal damage caused by stress, especially oxidative stress. It plays a role in protecting retinal function from stress-induced damage through its anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic actions, thus alleviating eye fatigue.
- Milk Thistle - has amazing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, typically used for liver detoxification. Fat-soluble vitamins and glutathione present in the liver are responsible for repairing any eye damage, so liver health plays an important role in maintaining eye health. Silymarin, the main component of milk thistle, is known for its liver-supporting properties, as well as for lowering sugar levels in the eyes, which is important for diabetics.
- Turmeric Root - turmeric is known for its healing and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as its positive effects on the eyes. Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, effectively fights inflammation in dry eyes. It is also said that this well-known spice reduces oxidation of the eye's lens, which is considered a major cause of some eye diseases.
- L-Glutathione - protects the eyes from damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) light. It helps filter harmful UV rays and thus counteracts their damage. Glutathione also helps reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, which are linked to age-related macular degeneration.
