Vitamins for Your Eyes
Vitamin A
plays a crucial role in vision by maintaining a clear cornea, which is the outside covering of your eye.
This vitamin is also a component of rhodopsin, a protein in your eyes that allows you to see in low light conditions.
Vitamin E
Many eye conditions are believed to undergo oxidative stress,
an imbalance between antioxidants and free radicals in your body
Vitamin E is a potent antioxidant that helps protect your cells including your eye cells
Vitamin C
Like vitamin E, vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that may
protect your eyes against damaging free radicals
vitamin C is required to make collagen, a protein that provides structure
to your eye, particularly in the cornea and sclera
Vitamin D
Known as the sunshine vitamin, vitamin D is made when ultraviolet rays from the sun hit the skin. Reactions that occur in the liver and the kidneys turn vitamin D into its active form. Vitamin D has been shown to reduce the risk of chronic disease, help decrease inflammation and support healthy immune function.
