Wanted to change things a bit. Why Myopia progression is a concern. More children are becoming nearsighted! Myopia is one of the most common eye disorders in the world. The prevalence of myopia is about 30 to 40 percent among adults, up to 80% in Asian population, especially in China. to continue:
continuing with vitamins: Omega-3 essential fatty acids: These essential nutrients may reduce the risk of dry eyes and may have other eye health benefits as well. Bioflavonoids: Found in many fruits and vegetables, bioflavonoids appear to help the body absorb vitamin C for higher antioxident efficiency.
Continuing vitamin supplements Lutein and Zeaxanthin are caroteroids and macular pigments which reduce the risk of macular degeneration and cataracts. Phytochemical antioxidants: plant extracts, such as those from ginkgo biloba and bilberry, contain phytochemicals, which appear to provide protection from oxidative stress in the entire body, including the eyes.
Continuing on vision supplements: the next one is Vitamin C, studies have found vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant, is associated with reduced the risk of cataracts. Vitamin D which literature suggest this deficiency is widespread, especially during the winter months in colder climates, but this vitamin will lower the risk of macular degeneration. Vitamin E, another component in AREDS2 supplements has been associated with the reduced risk of cataracts in other studies.

What I wanted to cover today is What is a Healthy Diet for good vision? 1. Emphasize fruits, vegetables, whole grains and fat-free or low fat milk and milk products. 2. Lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs and nuts 3. Items that are low in saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, salt (sodium) and added sugars. Taking a daily multivitamin and mineral supplement can help fill in the nutritional gaps. ... These can all help protect from degenerative diseases, including eye disease such as macular degeneration and cataracts. See more
One of the many questions i get is what is the difference between soft contact lenses and gas permeable (GP) lenses? Answer: soft contact lenses are made of softer flexible plastics, gas permeable lenses are made of rigid plastics and can be used for up to a year or more whereas soft lenses are disposed of regularly. Gas permeable lenses may take a while to get used to but they have many advantages. No matter what you choose, I am here to help you find the lenses that work for you and your lifestyle!
One of the frequent question i get: How often do i need to visit my eye doctor? Answer: For those of you who do not need glasses or contacts, i encourage you to get an eye exam every two years. If you require vision correction or are over 50, I recommend coming in on a yearly basis. Every patient is unique, however, and some patients may need to have more frequent checkups.
