Here’s a List of the 17 Vitamins, Minerals, and Herbal Supplements That Research Shows Are Essential for Optimum Vision and Eye Health

Essential Nutrient #1: Alpha-Lipoic Acid

There’s an army in our body that helps prevent cellular destruction caused by toxins and environmental factors or free radicals. That army goes by the name of antioxidants and you can find them everywhere – in the darkly pigmented fruits like grapes, hiding in yummy chocolates, and in juicy red meats too!

Alpha-lipoic acid is so healthy for your body that some people refer to it as the perfect antioxidant. It’s special because it is so versatile in that it helps to deactivate all sorts of different potential damage from free radicals. It also helps your body to effectively reuse vitamins C and E so that you get more oomph from your vitamins!

Alpha-lipoic acid can help prevent and deactivate potential damage from free radicals caused by inadequate diets, smoking, and sunlight.

Essential Nutrients #2 & #3: Bilberry and Bioflavonoids

Bilberry is long-thought to be a fruit that helps improve your night vision. It is closely related to the cranberry and is high in a bioflavonoid that helps your eyes have more of the purple pigment rhodopsin, which helps you to see better. A flavonoid is a pigment, like purple, that has an excellent antioxidant quotient to help your body fight off free radical damage.

Bilberry and Bioflavonoids are so well-regarded as a way to help night vision that British pilots in World War II are said to have consumed bilberry jam in order to improve their night vision! Consuming flavonoids like bilberry has been linked to a reduction in heart disease, macular degeneration, legal blindness, and even cancer.

Essential Nutrient #4: Chromium

Chromium is an important trace mineral that assists your body in breaking down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, as well as aids your metabolism in converting glucose to energy.

Chromium is important for your eyes too – folks who are low in this important mineral have been shown to be at a greater risk of developing increased intraocular eye pressure. Intraocular eye pressure is more and more common these days as so many people strain to look at computer screens all day long, tiring out those overused eye muscles and putting unnecessary stress upon them. If you include more chromium-rich foods in your diet, you may find that you’re straining to see and read less and less.

Foods high in chromium include beef, liver, eggs, spinach, and wheat germ.

Essential Nutrient #5: Copper Gluconate

Copper is an important trace element that your body needs in order to form collagen, which builds our connective tissues. Copper helps our blood produce oxygen-producing hemoglobin, which helps our bodies enjoy greater circulation and increased oxygen levels. Without enough copper, hemoglobin levels in your bloodstream may fall and this can lead to vision loss. Liver, seafood, and beans are all foods that are high in copper.

Essential Nutrient #6: Eyebright

Eyebright is an herb long said to help eye inflammation. Eyebright can be useful as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory herb, and as an astringent, as it helps to tighten the membranes around your eyes while improving circulation around them. The tannins in Eyebright help reduce inflammation and bring more vitamins A and C to your eyes. Eyebright is truly an herb with a fitting name.

Essential Nutrient #7: Ginkgo Biloba

The ancient herb ginkgo, an antioxidant, has been confirmed by numerous studies to increase blood flow to your retinas. This increased blood flow to your retinas can help to delay retinal deterioration and damage, improving your visual acuity! Ginkgo has been shown in some studies to be particularly useful to those suffering from macular degeneration and retinas damaged by diabetes.

Essential Nutrient #8: Glutathione

Like alpha-lipoic acid, glutathione is another important amino acid that helps your eyes. This amino acid has been linked to preventing retinal disease, diabetes-induced blindness, cataracts, and even glaucoma. Glutathione helps to protect the important tissue surrounding the lenses of your eyes.

If you want to get more glutathione in your diet, look to sulfur-heavy foods such as eggs, garlic, and asparagus, as well as watermelon and grapefruits.

Essential Nutrient #9: Lutein (containing Zeaxanthin)

Lutein, and its companion zeaxanthin, are found within the eye’s retina. They are a yellow pigment and this yellow pigment helps protect our eyes, almost like sunglasses! Lutein and zeaxanthin have been shown to lower your risk of cataracts and macular degeneration. In fact, folks with low levels of lutein have been linked with greater incidences of age-induced macular degeneration. Because blue-eyed beauties have less natural pigments in their eyes, it’s been shown that they need even more lutein and zeaxanthin in their diets.

To get more of these important nutrients in your life, look to the yellow, orange, and red fruits and vegetables for help. Tomatoes, carrots, and squash are all rich in lutein.

Essential Nutrient #10: N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC)

NAC, as N-Acetyl Cysteine is abbreviated, is another amino acid your body needs. NAC is essential in helping your body build up proteins and helps refresh your body with more of the essential glutathione amino acid that we discussed. Important to the immune system, NAC has been shown to help prevent the loss of vision and even has aided mice in not losing their ability to see in color!

Essential Nutrient #11: Quercetin

An antioxidant, antihistamine, and anti-inflammatory, flavonoid Quercetin is a wonderful natural substance that can help protect your capillaries and prevent bruising! Quercetin has been shown to improve how your body processes vitamin C and makes it more effective for you. It has been shown to lower your risk of developing cataracts. Members of the blueberry family, like blueberries, blackberries, and cherries, are all high in superpower Quercetin.

Essential Nutrient #12: Rutin

Plant-based Rutin helps to strengthen your capillaries and is thought to successfully treat retinopathy. Have some buckwheat pancakes for breakfast then, because Rutin is especially found in the buckwheat plant! You can also get your intake of Rutin from black or green tea as well as citrus fruits.

Essential Nutrient #13: Selenium

Selenium is another trace mineral necessary for our bodies to defend against infections and boost immunity. As an antioxidant, selenium can neutralize free radical damage in your eye’s lens and macula. Studies have linked low selenium levels with development of cataracts. Selenium is important to your body’s absorption of vitamin E as well. Chicken, liver, wheat germ, and garlic are all great sources of selenium.

Essential Nutrient #14: Vitamin A

Eat your carrots! It’s true: vitamin A may as well be called vitamin EYE. Vitamin A is essential to our eye health and vision. Our retinas need vitamin A to properly function and produce the pigment rhodopsin. Vitamin A is so key to healthy eyes that poor night vision can actually be caused by a deficiency in this vitamin. Foods rich in vitamin A include spinach, cantaloupes, and sweet potatoes.

Vitamin A can help:

your eyes adjust to changes in light
prevent blindness caused by macular degeneration
prevent the formation of cataracts
keep your eyes moist

Essential Nutrient #15: Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a superpower antioxidant that has been linked to preventing cataracts by as much as 70 percent, according to one study. Vitamin C has also been shown to reduce macular degeneration and eye pressure issues in glaucoma sufferers. Though orange juice has lots of this important nutrient, you can also find vitamin C is leafy green vegetables such as kale, collards, and brussel sprouts.

Essential Nutrient #16: Vitamin E

Another superpower vitamin, vitamin E helps to lower your risk of macular degeneration and cataracts. One study suggests that daily consumption of vitamin E can reduce your risk of cataracts by as much as half!

Vitamin E has also been shown to protect against damage from free radicals. In fact, one of the symptoms of a vitamin E deficiency is impaired vision. Wheat germ is your first stop when you want to eat foods that are rich in vitamin E, but don’t ignore your greens like spinach, kale, and collard greens.

Essential Nutrient #17: Zinc

Zinc is important in helping your eyes convert the beta-carotene in carrots and other veggies into usable vitamin A. Your eyes have the most amount of zinc in your whole body and need zinc to function properly. Oysters and red meat are highest in zinc, but vegetarians and vegans can get zinc from soy, beans, and grains.

“I no longer have any need for my eyeglasses or need them to drive.”

I began using Ocu-Plus late last year and the difference it has made in my vision has been astounding. I went to renew my license and when they checked my vision the agent said I no longer have any need for my eyeglasses or need them to drive. I was so happy. I have used glasses since I was around 10. I can sing the praises of your Ocu-Plus. Thank you Tyler for introducing me to them. My family is very surprised that at my age that I don’t need my eyeglasses anymore. I rest my eyes occasionally as you indicate as I work on a computer for a living. Thanks again!

Ramona Garcia, Denver, CO

Her doctor tells her “whatever you were taking has helped, especially in the last year.”

“I have a folder titled “My Eyes” that I started putting all the receipts and prescriptions for my glasses into beginning in 1989. This morning I went in to see Dr. Reynolds (I have only been seeing him for about 2 years now) and I told him how I wanted him to go through the records and see if Ocu-plus is helping my vision.

I then described Ocu-plus from what I knew and asked him to verify if he could discern improvement in vision from the records. He was a little amused at first, but as he went through all the records his attitude changed. I didn’t completely understand all his descriptions and technical words but the gist of it was definitely, whatever you were taking has helped, especially in the last year.”

Maryclare Hall, Edmonton, CA

“My young daughter was nearsighted. Thanks to your eye product, that’s the past!”

“My young daughter was nearsighted. Thanks to your eye product, that’s the past! It was a challenge opening each capsule and mixing it with her drinks. I am glad I did! Thank you for creating such a wonderful product.”

Lachresha, Boca Raton, FL

“I have confidence knowing that I am doing something good for my vision…”

“I started the formula at the time I had my lasik surgery a year ago. My goal is to stabilize and maintain good vision. My surgery was in January 2007 and my one-year check-up was a good one. I have confidence knowing that I am doing something good for my vision by taking the Ocu-Plus formula.”

Britt Brandt, Greenville, S.C.

“I can see the clock radio and actually read it in the morning…”

“I have been taking the Ocu-Plus Formula for several months now and am very pleased with the results… I can see the clock radio and actually read it in the morning, I can unlock my combination lock on my locker at work… not as well as I would like, but it is obviously helping me and I intend to continue the routine. Thanks for all you do.”

Chuck Anderson, Olympia, WA

“My eyes also look very shiny and feel healthy. They don’t feel tired and sore now… ”

“Within a few days of taking the Ocu-Plus Formula my eyes felt better. I don’t have Glaucoma, but do have high pressure in both eyes. I can feel they are more comfortable. I used to not be able to be on the computer for very long, but now I am fine. My eyes also look very shiny and feel healthy. They don’t feel tired and sore now.

I went back to my doctor after I began taking Ocu-Plus and he said my eye pressure was down. I was so over the moon I can hardly remember the rest of my visit! I’m telling lots of people about them.”

Sue Barker, Herts, GB
