Best supplements for the eyes | Optometrist Explains
Today we talk about the best supplements for the eyes
Omega-3 fish oil
Lutein
Bilberry
Vision protect 1-a-day
For most I would recommend taking 5000mg of fish oil
For those that have macular degeneration take the following:
- 500mg Vitamin C
- 400 IU Vitamin E
- 2mg Copper
- 10mg Lutein
- 2mg Zeaxanthin
- 80mg Zinc

I added 20 mg of lutein w/ 2 mg zeaxanthin to my regimen several years ago and it helped to stop my macular degeneration, and even improved the condition. As other eye problems exist in my siblings, I also now take zinc, and vitamins A, C and E. I may add some copper but not yet.

Bilberry may be problematic for diabetics. When I looked for more info, I came across a 2013 journal article that reported “ingestion of a concentrated bilberry extract reduces postprandial glycaemia and insulin in volunteers with T2D.” The reported 18% drop in blood sugar might be good for the subjects, who weren’t taking diabetes meds - but possibly dangerous for anyone who does take diabetes meds, especially without glucose testing. For more info, search for the title “A single supplement of a standardised bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) extract (36 % wet weight anthocyanins) modifies glycaemic response in individuals with type 2 diabetes controlled by diet and lifestyle.” The brand used in the study was Mirtoselect, which apparently would have been 160 mg. of an extract. Sounds like a smaller dose than the product showed in this video.

Beautiful explanation 🌷👍🏻
I would dispute that & say that cod liver oil is the better oil to take as it does supply vitamin A which is an important vitamin for eye health & it was when I was lax in my diet due to lack of money & not having the resources to take cod liver oil that I ended up with torn retinas in both my eyes which really annoyed me because I knew that vitamin A was one vitamin that I needed to be on as I was aware that my body didn't process my food properly & needed the extra help of cod liver oil. We were given it as children in the 1950s to boost our vitamin A levels.
You explained so nicely

Fish oil omega 3 combination of magnesium, it is also good, but too much of all these vitamins, can also get complicated if your already taking serious medications, you cannot mix certain vitamins and meds,can cause more issues to your health,,,,,,specially if they're natural supplements,,,Zoe
For vegans, a vegan Omega 3 supplement should work the same as the fish oil, right?

Hey doc; I would really like to hear what you have to say about supplements to treat cataracts. My optometrist is aggressively pushing me to get the surgery in my right eye that is getting pretty bad.
You wrote the zinc content in the table wrong: it is 15mg not 80 (which would be way too much).

Vitamins & supplements can't change the shape of the eyeball or etc. which can affect the need for glasses.
I must be under a Moon Shadow as the song goes. I recently went to an eye doctor office to get glasses. The one doctor ( duck ) said glasses won't do me any good at all because I have cataracts in both eyes which need removal. Okay, so I go see ( or not see, ha-ha ) the next doctor ( duck, quack, quack ) in the same establishment. He tells me I have 20/20 vision in one eye and 20/30 in the other. But the other has something I don't understand, which is not a cataract but something behind the lens which needs treatment. Before all this, 6 months before all this, I went to an entirely different eye doctor for glasses. That one told me I don't have cataracts in either eye and I got fitted for glasses both close and far away. So what the hell is this non-sense?

I find it quite odd that it has very little in it that has been mentioned in multiple videos.
And that First Oil should be Cod-Liver Oil or wild caught salmon because not all fish oil is good for you, especially if it farm raised fish
Does the fish oil have lutein in it ?
