8. Eye health and
the Diet
Deficiency of Vitamin
A, C,E,Lutein &
Zeaxanthein, Essential
Fatty Acids and Zinc
cause eye diseases

9. Vitamin A
Vitamin A is essential for maintaining
the eyes’ photoreceptors— the light
sensing cells. Without this vitamin, night
blindness, dry eyes, or other severe
ocular conditions can develop

10. Vitamin E
This fat-soluble antioxidant protects the
fatty acids in the eyes from free
radicals, or unstable molecules, which
cause healthy tissue to degenerate.
The retina has a high concentration of
fatty acids, so sufficient vitamin E intake
is essential for optimal ocular health

11. Vitamin B6, B9 and B12
Vitamin C
supports macular health.
Deficiency may lead to AMD
B2 deficiency linked to cataract

12. Zinc
Zinc is an essential mineral that is highly
concentrated in the retina and the vascular
tissue layer under the retina (choroid). Zinc’s
primary role is to bring vitamin A from the liver
to the retina to enable melanin production— a
pigment in the eye that functions as a filter to
protect our eyes from harmful light, such as the
sun’s UV rays.
Zinc deficiency may cause night blindness.

13. Essential fatty acids
Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA are vital for
ocular health. DHA is found in high
concentration in the retina, where it may help
to support ocular function. DHA is also
important for healthy brain and eye
development, especially during infancy.
● DHA deficiency can cause vision
problems, especially in children.
● Research has shown that increasing
omega-3 intake may help to relieve
symptoms of dry eye syndrome.
