EYE
HEALTH VITAMINS
It is important for adults to consume a multivitamin daily in order
to maintain proper health conditions. Our doctors can determine whether
OcularProtect, MacularProtect, or HydroEye is right for you and your
eye health.
OcularProtect
OcularProtect is recommended to aid in keeping the eyes and your body
healthy. This vitamin has 40 essential vitamins, minerals and other
important nutrients that are beneficial to the body. The combination
of ingredients include vitamins C and E as well as lipoic acid in order
to help neutralize the effects of ultraviolet rays and pollutants that
can affect the lens of the eye and the retina. New studies are leading
to the belief that a diet high in zeaxanthin and lutein can help in
the protection of our vision as we age. Other ingredients found in the
vitamin aid in cell protection and skin health.
MacularProtect
It is important for people that are at higher risk for macular degeneration
to protect their vision. We recommend MacularProtect for those patients
that want to maintain the sharpest vision possible. The combinations
of antioxidants and zinc have shown great results in maintaining the
health of the macula. The MacularProtect Complete formula is safe for
non-smokers and has a safe dose of lutien and other vitamins and minerals
that are important to your health. The MacularProtect Plus formula is
safe for smokers. It contains a lower dose of beta-carotene, while still
combining an appropriate level of essential vitamins and minerals.
HydroEye
HyrdroEye is another vitamin that our office recommends. This vitamin
is recommended to patients that suffer from chronic dry eye syndrome.
The vitamin itself helps provide relief of dry eye that can be caused
by age, LASIK surgery, contact lens wear, computer use, or a tear deficiency.
The ingredients combined in the vitamin help dampen inflammation and
aid in the development of a healthy tear film. This vitamin has also
shown to reduce or replace the need of eye drops for those who suffer
from dry eye.
