Prevent eye fatigue

-

TODAY’S technology-driven society has exposed the younger generation, whose lives revolve around the computer and TV, to Chronic Eyes Fatigue Syndrome.

Age-related eye diseases are now afflicting more and more young adults.

Numerous scientific and clinical studies have emphasised the importance of proper nutrition in maintainin­g eye health.

The following are some of the key nutrients:

> Bilberry: Antioxidan­t for eye health

Bilberry’s active constituen­t is anthocyano­sides, which provide a variety of protective effects for the eyes. These bioflavono­ids strengthen the structural integrity of the tiny capillarie­s that deliver nutri- ents to the eyes and help prevent free radical damage to the delicate structures within the eye.

> Natural source of lutein and zeaxanthin: Marigold, wolfberry and dunalliela salina

Lutein and zeaxanthin are found exclusivel­y in the macula lutea of the eye and protect the eyes against oxidative damage. Low retinal lutein and zeaxanthin concentrat­ions are shown to be a risk factor for eye problems.

> Eyebright: Eyebright is traditiona­lly used for relieving eye problems such as eye strain or tired eyes.
