I get a lot of interest in the cataract eye drops I developed. (You can find these on the website.) However, its much better to prevent cataracts in the first place. Ive told you how glutathione in your lens is protective. Now we have evidence that other antioxidants are helpful as well.
A large study on female health professionals has found that lutein/zeaxanthin and vitamin E can reduce your risk. The researchers followed 35,551 women for an average of 10 years. Those in the highest quintile (20%) of lutein/zeaxanthin intake had an 18% less risk of getting cataracts.
We know that nutrients protect your macula and retina. Now we see that some of these same nutrients can protect your lens as well. The best place to get these nutrients is from green leafy vegetables.
But if you cant eat large quantities of these tasty veggies, you might consider Advanced Vision Formula from Advanced Bionutritionals. It contains these wonderful compounds for your eyes.
