The Eye Formula is a combination of herbs and nutrients that have been shown to help the eyes and reduce free radical damage to the eyes. The Eye Formula includes the carotenoid, lutein, as well as Bilberry, multi-anthocyanidins, carrot juice powder, and eyebright. All the herbs and nutrients in this formula are exceedingly safe, and many are powerful antioxidants that fight free radical damage, one of the main reasons our eyesight deteriorates as we age.
Eyebright
Eyebright is a popular herb in Europe for use during inflammatory eye conditions. It acts as an astringent, meaning that eyebright decreases eye secretions such as mucus and tears. It is also an anti-inflammatory, which decreases swelling and redness in and around the eye.
Bilberry
Bilberry's antioxidant properties neutralize free radicals and therefore reduce damage to vessels all over the body, including those in the eye. Cataracts are caused by free radical damage in the lens of the eye and therefore bilberry can treat cataracts.
Lutein
Lutein and zeaxanthin work in the eye as antioxidants. Cataracts are caused by free radical damage of the lens of the eye and therefore lutein and zeaxanthin can treat cataracts. Studies show that they also protect the eye from damage and can reduce the incidence of eye disease such as macular degeneration.
What Causes Vision Loss?
The eye is a very important sensory organ, which is shown by the fact that a large area of our brain is committed to taking in and understanding visual information. Up to 70% of all of the sensory receptors in the body are in the eyes. Problems with the eyes become more common as we age.
There two main causes of degenerative eye conditions:
- Free radical damage
- Decreased blood flow to the eye
Free radicals are unstable molecules that in their bid to become more stable must bump into healthy cells and cause damage. This can cause cell death, alterations in genetic material and autoimmune reactions to damaged cells. Food, water and ultraviolet radiation from the sun are the major contributors of free radicals that build up in the eye.
The eyes reflect the overall health of the body. The vessels on the back of the eyeball are very small and fragile. Changes in them are often the first sign of cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and atherosclerosis. These conditions lead to decreased blood flow to the retina. Lack of oxygen and an accumulation of waste products eventually compromises vision.
Poor diet, environmental toxins, medications and stress all decrease the body's ability to neutralize free radicals and maintain healthy vessels. This can result in eye degeneration, occurring in cataracts, macular degeneration, and glaucoma.
Who Needs to Take Eye Supplements?
What would we do without our vision? Just about everyone should be concerned about eye health. Because damage from UV light from the sun is a major cause of vision loss, most everyone should use antioxidant supplements specific for the eyes. The vision loss we experience as we age is only a matter of degree; if we live long enough, we all experience it.
