    Good supplements for eye health?
    I'm looking for good supplements and foods for eye health.

    In Japan where I live, blueberry is considered to be good for eye health.
    What supplements and foods are considered to be good in America and other countries?

    Please tell me.

    When choosing a brand of eye vitamins it is a good idea to compare vitamin and mineral composition compared to daily values and of course prices. Vitamins made for the eye should contain Vitamins A, C, E, B2 and minerals Zinc and Selenium. Of course eye vitamins now may contain the popular new Lutein. Lutein is an antioxidant whose true value is still being studied but is already gaining much attention. Lutein is concentrated mostly in the retina, lens and macula and thus it is assumed that having an efficient amount of Lutein will keep the eyes healthy. Also it is recommended that certain awareness is taken when taking specially formulated eye vitamins that follow the NEI formula for AREDs. This is especially critical for smokers where tests have linked beta-carotene and smokers to certain diseases. So if you are a smoker it is better to look for eye vitamins with no beta-carotene. We do not promote any eye vitamins but provide a list of a few of the most popular on our links page. It is a good idea to compare the eye vitamins to make sure they are going to give you the proper amount that you need
