Vision impairment among the elderly is becoming a major area of public concern and in the United States alone there are more than 1 million that are blind and another 2.4 million that are visually impaired according to the National Eye Institute (NEI), which expects these figures to double over the next three decades as the population ages. Now even younger adults are at an increased risk due to environmental toxins, laser surgeries, diabetes and lack of dietary nutrients.
Scientist and doctors understand the seriousness of this situation and are working closely to bring innovative solutions to bring new weapons to the battle against these conditions. It has also spawned awareness among consumers about the role of nutrients in maintaining proper vision and supporting healthy eyes. The eyes are the most susceptible of all our tissues to sustaining free-radical damage. To maintain healthy eye function, the eyes need a complex blend of nutrients. For most people, it is daunting to correctly combine all the necessary nutrients into one's daily diet. EyeFactor HA is unique in that it will do this for you. Eyefactor HA is uniquely formulated with Hyaluronic Acid, Lutein, and Zeaxanthin and other essential anti-oxidants to support the eyes in age-related vision conditions.
Nutritious Ingredients in EyeFactor HA:
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) --- Makes up 95% of the fluid inside the eye. Acts as a shock absorber for the eye and also serves to transport nutrients into the eye. HA plays a major role in maintaining the health of ocular tissues such as the cornea, the retina, and the vitreous fluid that fills the inside of the eye. It is been said that after the 5th decade of life, the eye has lost 50% of its ability to product the needed HA. Without out HA, we fail to have proper eye health.
Lutein/Zeaxanthinin --- Filters out harmful light rays and supports the retinal and macular health of the eye. Both Lutein and Zeaxanthin are antioxidant carotenoids and are a critical part of the macular pigment that protects the retina from degeneration. The density of the macular pigment is one measure of eye health. Arguably, lutein and zeaxanthin help maintain healthy cells and tissues in the eye, absorbing dangerous light waves and acting as antioxidants.
Billberry -- Helps the eyes by promoting healthy eye circulation. Also works as a powerful antioxidant that improves night vision, prevents eyestrain and build collagen.
Vitamins A, C , E and Zinc -- Known for their powerful anti-oxidant properties

Lutein and zeaxanthin are found abundantly in dark green leafy vegetables and in lesser amounts among other colorful fruits and vegetables, such as corn, Brussels sprouts and peppers. While many sources of these carotenoids contain much more lutein than zeaxanthin, some commonly consumed foods such as orange juice, oranges and corn actually contain more zeaxanthin than lutein and may contribute significantly to overall zeaxanthin intake.
Tips for keeping eyes healthy
- A healthy and balanced diet incorporating lots of fruit and vegetables
will help maintain healthy eyes.
- Have regular check ups with an optician - everyone is at risk of eyesight problems whatever their age. Visit the optician regularly as eye conditions can be
- identified in the early stages and action taken. Between 50-75 years of
age, you should have an eye check at least every two years.
- If you work on a computer, take a healthy eye break every five minutes. Stare away from the screen and close your eyes. This will allow for eye muscle
- relaxation and also re-hydrating the eyes.
- Ensure that when reading/working you have adequate light.
- Never sleep with contact lenses still in your eyes unless your optician
or ophthalmologist advises that it is acceptable.
- Always cleanse, rinse, disinfect your contact lenses after removal and before
wearing again.
- If something is in your eye, refrain from using your finger to remove it.
- Wear UV protective sunglasses when in direct sunlight to avoid potential
UV damage.
- Consult your optician, pharmacist or GP on the effects of any prescribed
drugs that may affect your vision.
- Get ample sleep because this is the time your eyes recover and metabolism
slows down.
