The 7 BEST Vitamins to Help Your Vision

Keep Your Vision Bright

It’s amazing how heavily life relies on eyesight.

From utilitarian tasks like reading or driving… to enjoying aesthetic beauty, like the face of a loved one or a fiery sunset.

That’s why it’s so important to protect your eyesight from cataracts and age-related macular degeneration. In fact, if you start protecting it now, you’ll never have to worry about losing it later.

One of the best ways to protect your vision is to give your eyes the nutrients they are thirsty for.

Here are the top seven vitamins for optimal eye health and their recommended doses.

Whether you’re near-sighted, far-sighted, or suffering from age-related eyesight loss, these vitamins have been proven by hundreds of clinical studies to maintain and even improve your eyesight.

The Top 7 Vitamins for Vision

1. Vitamin A — 1,250 IU

A recent study published in the Eating and Weight Disorders journal proved that night blindness could not only be improved–but practically cured–with a regular dose of vitamin A. The study showed that participants with vitamin A deficiency and night blindness made a near complete recovery in night vision.

2. Vitamin E — 7.5 IU

This essential vitamin protects delicate eye tissue by boosting blood flow to the capillaries of your eyes. In one study published by the American Journal of Public Health, 50 patients were given a combination of bilberry extract and vitamin E. They experienced vision improvement by a whopping 97%.

3. Vitamin C — 200mg

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported that taking vitamin C can reduce risk of cataracts by up to 75%.

Another, larger study of older women in Boston agreed. It showed that with 1,000mg of vitamin C, your risk is reduced by 80%. Vitamin C also works to keep your macula healthy, which protects your eyes from excess ultraviolet light.

4. Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) — 5mg

Vitamin B2 allows your eyes to relax and clears redness, dryness, and itchiness. Plus, a double-blind, placebo-controlled study published in the journal Neurology showed that a high dose of riboflavin can reduce migraines–directly related to eyestrain–by up to 50%.

5. Copper — 2mg

People with cataracts often express that it seems they’re looking through a dirty window. Copper helps prevent cataracts by keeping your lenses clean and clear.

6. Selenium — 100mcg

This essential trace mineral protects your eyes by fighting free radical damage. It also eliminates double vision.

7. Zinc — 3mg

Finally, zinc has been shown to help your eyes focus in dim light and read small, fine print.

It’s obvious that your eyesight is incredibly precious. Protecting it is definitely worth popping seven different pills every day to protect it… but why should you?

You could try and find a multivitamin with all of these vitamins and at the correct dosage. But, even that will be difficult. The “recommended daily value” from the government is frighteningly low–especially when it comes to vitamin C–and sometimes it’s just inaccurate.

However, there’s a much easier way: use one high quality formula designed specifically to protect and strengthen your vision. That’s why we’ve developed the Eye Health Essentials multi-nutrient formula.

    Hi there. Can I ask a question I love your articles as well but if we took all the pils and treatment that we are advised to for various ailments and conditions it would cost us a fortune and how can we tell what is right for us.
    There is so much info out there that claim they have the best ingredients and product it gets very confusing.
