Proper nutrition may help prevent eye problems such
as glaucoma, cataracts and macular degeneration. Watkins Eye Care Formula supplies extra
amounts of vitamin A and other nutrients crucial to night vision and optimal eye function,
with bilberry, lutein and other herbs and botanicals long associated with good eye
maintenance.
Why Watkins?
- Vitamin A - The vitamin most closely associated with the eyes. This explains its
scientific name, retinol, as it is found in the retina of the eye. Beta carotene is
converted by the body into vitamin A and helps to filter out damaging radiation of UV
light, protecting against visionloss. Retinyl palmitate keeps the cornea crystal-clear and
is essential for normal fision, especially night vision.
- Vitamin C - Present in the eye at levels 30-50 times greater than in the
bloodstream. In the lenses of cataract patients, it is usually absent or greatly reduced.
Also, vitamin C is believed to help prevent glaucoma by promoting proper formation of
collagen, the protein tht gives strength and integrity to the tissues of the eye.
- Riboflavin - Studies have shown that 33 percent of adults over 50 may
have a deficiency of this important B-vitamin. This deficiency is believed to enhance
cataract formation.
- Selenium and Vitamin E - These nutrients work
together in the formation of glatthione peroxidase, a protective compound found in the
eye.
- Zinc - vital
for normal lens function and integrity.
- Taurine - An
amino acid found in abundant supply in the lens of the eye. Responsible for enhanced night
vision in cats and nocturnal animals.
- Citrus bioflavonoids - Helps prevent the breakdown of vitamin C, improves capillary
intetrity and prevents the destruction of collagen.
- Anthocyanosides - specialized bioflavonoids from bilberries and red grapes. Has been
used experimentally with good results in reducing nearsightedness, improving night vision
and reversing diabetic disease of the retina.
- Lutein - A
carotenoid extracted from marigold flowers. Shown to retard the progress of macular
degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in the elderly.
- Rutin - Has
been shown to lower inner eye pressure when used with anti-glacoma drugs. Its active
principle, quercetin, inhibits the action of an enzyme that can accelerate caaract
formation.
- Tradidtionl Herbs - Chinese lycium berries and European eyebright herb have long been
assoicated with good eye maintenance in preventive wellness practices.
