As children, we were often encouraged to eat our carrots if we wanted to maintain good eyesight. Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A, a vital nutrient for optimal vision. However, it's important to note that carrots alone will not significantly improve your eyesight! 

For many of us, that's where our understanding of eye health nutrition typically ends. Over the last two decades, numerous studies have shown that certain foods and vision care supplements can significantly impact the treatment of eye problems. From the best-selling author of Smart Medicine for Your Eyes comes a new, concise guide to these powerful substances.

Well over two million Americans have been told they have AMD, and that number is expected to grow substantially. While this is a frightening statistic, over the last several years, medical researchers have demonstrated that various effective treatments can slow, stop, and even reverse the progress of AMD. Additionally, incorporating eye health nutrition into your diet and utilizing vision care supplements can play a crucial role in managing this condition.

While the condition known as dry eye may sound like a minor problem, it can cause tremendous discomfort, even pain. Worse, this disorder can lead to eye fatigue, blurred vision, and difficulty driving, especially at night. In a healthy eye, lubricating tears continuously bathe the cornea—the dome-shaped outer surface of the eye. These tears provide a layer of liquid protection from the environment while nourishing the cells, keeping the eyes comfortable, and helping them function properly. However, when tears are not of adequate quality or quantity, dry eye disease occurs. This book will review the causes, cures, and nutritional support, including eye health nutrition and vision care supplements, for the dry eye condition. Click on the book cover to order from Amazon.
