There are several reasons we love this vitamin! If your family has a history of AMD, this vitamin is great in combating macular degeneration and supporting long-term eye health. It contains DHA, Omega-3, Lutein, and Zeaxanthin. It also supports the proper function of arteries, which helps improve blood flow and lower blood pressure. And if that isn't enough to convince you to give it a try, it also supports mood stability and memory.

We also love that Nordic Naturals is non-GMO, gluten- & dairy-free with no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.

We'd love to answer any questions you have about this fantastic product!

If healthy eating is on your New Year’s resolution list, you're already doing something beneficial for your eyes! Colorful fruits and vegetables are packed with vitamins and antioxidants that support eye health and help protect your vision over time.

Leafy greens like spinach and kale support retinal health, orange and yellow foods like carrots and sweet potatoes help with night vision, and berries and red peppers are full of antioxidants that help defend your eyes from everyday stress. The more color you add to your plate, the more nutrients you’re giving your eyes.

Healthy changes do not have to be complicated. Adding one or two colorful foods to each meal is a simple step that benefits your whole body and your vision. Cheers to a New Year filled with better habits, healthier choices, and clearer sight ahead.

Glaucoma is often called the “silent thief of sight” because it can develop without noticeable symptoms until vision loss has already begun. That is why awareness and early detection are so important.

One of the best ways to protect your eyes is by keeping up with regular comprehensive eye exams, even if your vision seems just fine. These exams allow us to check eye pressure and optic nerve health and catch changes early.

Managing overall health also matters. Controlling blood pressure, diabetes, and avoiding smoking can help reduce risk. If you have been diagnosed with glaucoma or are at higher risk, taking medications exactly as prescribed and keeping regular follow-up appointments can make a big difference in protecting your vision long term.

The good news is that with early detection and proper care, vision loss from glaucoma can often be slowed or prevented. This month is a great reminder to put your eye health on the calendar. Your future vision depends on it. ️

Still thinking about the best resolution you can make this year? If you’re a smoker, we have one idea: ditch the ci******es. Your eyes will thank you.

Most people know smoking affects the lungs and heart, but many don’t realize just how hard it is on vision. Smoking has been strongly linked to a higher risk of glaucoma, cataracts, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and diabetic retinopathy. Smokers are also twice as likely to develop uveitis, a painful inflammation inside the eye that can lead to vision loss. On top of that, smoke worsens dry eye symptoms and can even reduce night vision, making everyday activities harder and less safe.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀: 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀!
People who stop smoking can significantly lower their risk, often bringing it close to that of someone who has never smoked.

If you’ve been waiting for a reason to quit, protecting your vision is a powerful one. Your eyes deserve a clearer, healthier future. ️

❄️ Happy Winter Solstice! ❄️

Today marks the shortest day of the year, and for many of us, the start of the season when our eyes feel a little extra challenged.

Cold winds, dry indoor heat, and long stretches of dim light can all team up to make eyes itchy, irritated, or tired.

The good news? A few simple habits can help. Staying hydrated and using a humidifier can keep your eyes from feeling so dry, especially when the heat is running nonstop.

Sunglasses aren’t just for summer! They protect your eyes from wind and glare off snow.

And if your eyes feel strained from darker days and more screen time, taking quick breaks to look away and focus on something across the room can make a world of difference.

A little extra care can keep your eyes comfortable all season.
