Eyes & Vision

Key nutrients for eye health

Lutein and zeaxanthin are two carotenoids that naturally concentrate in the macula, the part of the retina responsible for central vision and detail perception. These pigments act as natural filters against the blue light emitted by screens and solar UV, protecting retinal cells from oxidative damage. Since the body can’t synthesise these carotenoids itself, a regular intake through diet or supplementation is essential to maintain a protective macular density.

Antioxidants that protect vision

Vitamin A, in its active retinol form, is essential for the proper function of retinal photoreceptors and night vision. Vitamin C protects the lens from the progressive clouding responsible for cataracts. Vitamin E, a powerful fat-soluble antioxidant, preserves the cell membranes of the retina. Zinc, found at very high concentrations in eye tissue, plays a role in vitamin A metabolism and cell protection. Bilberry anthocyanins support retinal microcirculation and improve adaptation to darkness.

Omega-3: essential for eye health

Docosahexaenoic acid, or DHA, is an omega-3 fatty acid that makes up more than 60% of the fatty acids in the retina. A sufficient DHA intake helps maintain normal vision and helps prevent dry eyes by improving the quality of the tear film. Scientific studies show that DHA supplementation significantly reduces dry-eye symptoms, particularly common among people who work at a screen. Our supplements include fish oils or DHA-rich algae oils for people following a vegetarian diet.

Fighting digital eye strain

Computer vision syndrome now affects more than 70% of regular screen users. Red eyes, a burning sensation, intermittent blurred vision, headaches and neck tension are the most common symptoms. Beyond supplementation, it’s recommended to follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at an object 20 feet (6 metres) away for 20 seconds. Blinking regularly and adjusting your screen brightness also help reduce eye strain.

Synergies with other natural supplements

Eye protection benefits from synergies with other natural approaches. Goji berries, rich in zeaxanthin, are a perfect complement to a vision complex. Vitamin D3 plays a role in modulating eye inflammation. Silicon supports the health of the eye’s connective tissue, including the vitreous body. Premium brands such as Solgar offer complete eye formulas combining lutein, zeaxanthin, vitamins and minerals at optimal doses. Herbal teas based on eyebright and cornflower offer a pleasant complementary support.
