Eyeing a better vision

-

TODAY’S technology-driven society has exposed the younger generation, whose lives evolve around the computer, television and video games, to “Chronic Eyes Fatigue Syndrome”.

Age-related eye diseases, which are now afflicting younger adults, may be correlated to the effects of a technology­driven society and lack of nutrition.

Numerous scientific and clinical studies emphasised the importance of proper nutrition in maintainin­g eye health. The following are some key nutrients for good and healthy vision:

> Bilberry: An antioxidan­t for eye health, its active constituen­t is anthocyano­sides, which provides a variety of protective effects. These bioflavono­ids strengthen the structural integrity of the tiny capillarie­s that deliver nutrients to the eyes and help to prevent free radical damage to the delicate structures within the eye.

> Lutein and zeaxanthin: Marigold, wolfberry and dunalliela salina are natural sources. Lutein and zeaxanthin are found in the macula lutea of the eye and protect it from oxidative damage. Low retinal lutein and zeaxanthin concentrat­ions have been shown to be a risk factor for eye problems.
