What do Ocuvite products treat?
Ocuvite products are vitamin/mineral supplements that may help maintain your eye health. As we age, our eyes can become affected, leading to various eye conditions that can affect our vision. Different Ocuvite products can contain different types of vitamins and minerals, some of which are listed below, depending on the product you are taking. The combination of these vitamins and minerals in Ocuvite may help your eye health.
- Vitamin C, an antioxidant that may help slow down the progression of cataracts and age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
- Vitamin E, an antioxidant that may help protect your eyes from compounds called free radicals (which damage healthy tissues) and may help slow down the progression of AMD
- Vitamin D, which may help with inflammation. Low levels of vitamin D have been shown to worsen dry eyes
- Vitamin A, an antioxidant that can help support eye health. Low levels of vitamin A can increase your risk of vision problems, including night blindness and blindness
- Zinc, which may help your body make melanin, a type of pigment found in your eyes. Low levels of zinc may affect your vision or make it harder to see at night (night blindness)
- Omega-3 fatty acids may help with the fat-containing cell membranes of your eyes, which may support vision and help with dry eyes
- Lutein and zeaxanthin, antioxidants found in light-sensitive areas of the retina, may help protect your eyes from ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun and blue light and can help slow down the progression of cataracts and AMD
- Copper, which can help the retina of your eye function properly
