Summer is the perfect time to enjoy the outdoors. Spending time in nature can reduce stress, support healthy sleep, encourage physical activity and boost well-being. But while many people remember sunscreen for their skin, they often forget that their eyes need protection, too.

Long-term exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light has been linked to eye conditions including cataracts, light sensitivity and retinal diseases like macular degeneration, glaucoma and growths on the eye surface. Wearing UV-blocking sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat helps reduce harmful exposure while outside.

Nutrition can also help to protect the eyes. The vital eye nutrients, lutein and zeaxanthin, often called nature's "internal sunglasses," help filter damaging blue light and support the health of the macula, the part of the retina responsible for sharp central vision. Antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, along with zinc, selenium, bioflavonoids and other essential nutrients, help combat oxidative stress associated with aging.

To help support eye health, OpticaMD™ Daily Vision was recently launched. It is a comprehensive formula featuring lutein, zeaxanthin, bioflavonoids, vitamins and minerals designed to nourish the eyes and support healthy vision for years to come.
