A Balanced Diet for Eye Health

There are many different nutrients that support eye health—and some nutrients are particularly essential for healthy eyes, including:

- Lutein, zeaxanthin, and Meso-Zeaxanthin

- Vitamins A, C, & E

- Omega-3 fatty acids

Eating a balanced diet is great, but when your diet alone isn’t enough, we also offer other options for you to consider.

MacuHealth Supplements

MacuHealth is a nutritional vision supplement containing 3 macular carotenoids (lutein, meso-zeaxanthin, and zeaxanthin) in the same 10:10:2 ratio that naturally makes up macular pigment. The ratio is designed to provide an essential balance of nutrients that can support healthy eye function.

Replenishing macular pigment levels can help filter blue light, strengthen vision quality, and prevent macular disease. People diagnosed with macular degeneration can also benefit, as nutritional changes can decrease your risk of developing advanced macular degeneration.

Omega-3 Supplements for Dry Eye

Omega-3 fatty acids (found in fish oil) may help manage dry eye symptoms by reducing inflammation and improving the function of your meibomian glands—eyelid glands that produce natural oils to prevent tear evaporation.

Many store-bought omega-3 supplements have a fishy aftertaste. And they can be harder to absorb because the nutrient is synthetic or unpurified. At Watertown Eye, we offer PRN omega-3 supplements, which use an ultra-purified triglyceride (rTG) form, similar to
