See Why These Top Eye Health Supplements Are Best
As we age, our eye health becomes increasingly at risk. In fact, one of every eight Americans 40 and older experiences age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
AMD impairs vision in the best cases, and in some cases can even cause blindness. Fortunately, there are ways to reduce the impact of AMD, reverse its progression or prevent it in the first place.
One of the easiest and best science-backed things you can do to support your long-term eye health is to incorporate ocular nutrition into your daily routine. For example, you may have heard that the beta-carotene in carrots is good for your eyes, and that’s true for many people. But the latest scientific research has found that other antioxidants may be even better at protecting your eyes from oxidative stress that can cause AMD.
These antioxidants – the carotenoids called lutein, zeaxanthin and astaxanthin – are some of the key ingredients in today’s top eye health supplements made by EyeScience®, which is part of the Basic Brands family.
Whether you’re already living with AMD or just looking to promote good eye health and reduce the risk of future vision loss, consider adding ocular vitamins to your diet. Here’s a look at four dietary supplements from EyeScience® that could be just right for you:
Dietary Supplement for Dry Eyes
If you experience dry eyes, try EyeScience® Dry Eye Formula. This oral supplement targets dry eyes from the inside by welling up a host of the best researched compounds for eye moisture and comfort including Omega-3 fish oils, Vitamin E, flax seed lipids, Vitamin B6, and magnesium as well as a Satureyes™ proprietary blend of nutrients.
The ingredients in this unique formula alleviate symptoms by improving tear production, reducing inflammation and sealing in moisture. Just take three soft gels with food each day.

Dietary Supplement for Digital Eye Strain
If you’re a heavy technology user, try EyeScience® Digital Blue Light Formula. This supplement’s blend of three vital carotenoids – lutein, zeaxanthin and astaxanthin – fosters ongoing eye health and protects against any negative impacts that blue light coming from computers, phones and other digital devices could have on the quality and sharpness of vision.
In fact, a 2-year clinical study found that people treated with these antioxidants had better visual clarity and contrast sensitivity compared to people who were not treated with the same mix. Another recent study in the peer-reviewed journal “Nutrients” found that lutein provides eyes with positive “anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative and blue light-filtering effects.”
EyeScience® Digital Blue Light Formula also relieves eye strain and fatigue that often results from prolonged exposure to blue light and even promotes better sleep. Just take one soft gel daily with food.
Dietary Supplement for Age-Related Macular Degeneration
If you are experiencing the early stages of AMD, try EyeScience® Macular Health Formula. These vegetable capsules go beyond the nutrients recommended in AREDS2, which is the latest clinical study of supplements found to improve blurry vision associated with AMD.
In addition to lutein, zeaxanthin and a proprietary MacuGlo™ blend of natural astaxanthin are several more of the highest-quality ingredients that have been shown to support macular health:
- Bilberry, which strengthens the walls of capillaries and increases circulation in the retinas
- Grape Seed Extract, which helps blood flow and prevents blood clots while strengthening blood vessels
- Alpha Lipoic Acid, which helps slow the progression of retinal changes
- Selenium, which helps protect against damage caused by free radicals
- Folic Acid, which breaks down homocysteine in your blood so that it doesn’t damage your eyes
Dietary Supplement for Eye Health Risk Factors
If you have risk factors that could lead to vision loss or just want to maintain your overall eye health and visual focus, try EyeScience® Astaxanthin 12 mg. This vital antioxidant sourced from algae is clinically proven to benefit eyes by crossing the blood-retinal barrier and inhibiting oxidative stress.
According to research by the National Institutes for Health, there is a “growing body of evidence” showing benefits of astaxanthin in the prevention and treatment of several ocular diseases. As a result, a dietary supplement of astaxanthin is a great way to fill any nutritional gap and support overall eye health.
The EyeScience® supplement contains the proprietary AlphaXanthin, a cold-pressed form that is the richest source of natural astaxanthin. In addition to benefits for vision health, EyeScience® Astaxanthin also may promote overall brain health, cardiovascular health and other physical benefits such as the body’s anti-inflammatory response, joint strength and relief for muscle soreness caused by exercise.
