When it comes to our diets, most of us could afford to eat a little healthier. However, in the craziness that is life, it can be tough to get all the nutrients you need every day, especially for eye health. However, supplementation has made it easier than ever to get the exact amount of nutrients your eyes and body need to function at their best.

Nutrients Your Eyes Need

When it comes to eye health specifically, there are a few ingredients to look for.

Zeaxanthin

A key nutrient for crisp, clear vision, zeaxanthin is found in brightly colored fruits and vegetables or leafy greens. However, the average person only gets 1 mg of zeaxanthin a day vs. the recommended 8 mg to maintain healthy eyes. To get this amount, you’d need to eat 20 ears of corn a day! That’s why supplementation is key to sustaining your body’s zeaxanthin amounts.

Lutein

Another important nutrient for protecting healthy vision, lutein is mainly found in leafy greens like spinach and kale. Although it’s 5 times more prevalent in the diet than zeaxanthin, it can still be difficult to ensure your body’s getting the amounts it needs through food.

Vitamin A

Vitamin A promotes healthy vision and development. It’s also important for the health of the surface of the eye. It helps keep your eyes comfortable during long days or while wearing contact lenses.

Vitamin D

A vital nutrient for eye and overall health, Vitamin D deficiency has been identified as a risk factor in several different eye health concerns, including age-related eye health issues.

Omega-3s

Omega-3s also help protect the eye’s surface by keeping it lubricated. Beyond that, they have been shown to have a positive impact on eyes suffering with age-related eye health issues.

Consistency Is Key

To see the results of taking an eye vitamin, you need to remain consistent. Forgetting to take them every day or skipping doses can affect your long-term eye health and causes your eyes to revert to their original state. A few tips for remembering to take your vitamins include:

• Add them as part of your routine.
  • Eat them every day with breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Whichever meal is most consistent for you.
  • Take them before brushing your teeth.
• Set a reminder every day around the time you should be taking them.
  • Use your phone, calendar, or other tool to help with this.
• Have an accountability buddy.
  • It’s easier to stay on track if you have another person counting on you.
• Keep bottles at home and at work.
  • This increases the chances of you taking them everyday because if you forget to take them at home, you can take them at work and vice versa.
