Good eyesight is an important part of wellbeing and a significant factor in retaining the quality of life as we age. Proper nutrition is essential to help keep your eyes healthy and functioning at their best. EyeVit FORTE is specially formulated to safeguard the intake of the most beneficial nutrients which are known to contribute to the maintanance of healthy eyes. What are EyeVit FORTE Tablets for? Vitamin E and C are powerful antioxidants that could protect the eyes against damage caused by metabolic by-products called free radicals and against the signs of ageing around the eyes. Riboflavin may help to prevent structural changes within the cornea, according to some research. A deficiency in this vitamin can cause the eyes to become bloodshot, itchy, watery and sensitive to bright light. Zinc contributes to normal absorption of Vitamin A, which is beneficial for the maintenance of healthy eyesight. It also assists antioxidant enzymes in the body in reducing the number of free radicals which can cause damage to the eyes. Lutein and Zeaxanthin are compounds called xanthophylls, which are yellow pigments that occur naturally in many plants and vegetables. They appear to have important antioxidant functions in the body, and help block blue light from reaching the underlying structures in the retina, thereby reducing the risk of light-induced oxidative damage.
