Can diet really improve my eyesight?

Diet won't sharpen your glasses prescription, but the right nutrients help protect the retina and macula and can slow some age-related changes. For intermediate AMD, specific supplements (AREDS2) are proven to reduce the risk of progression - so nutrition matters most for protecting long-term eye health.

Should I take eye supplements?

It depends. General eye health is best supported by a balanced diet; specific supplements like AREDS2 are recommended mainly for people with intermediate age-related macular degeneration, not everyone. We advise whether supplements will actually help your eyes.

What foods are best for the eyes?

Leafy greens (lutein and zeaxanthin), colourful vegetables, omega-3-rich fish and seeds, and vitamin C and E foods all support eye health. A varied, balanced diet is the foundation.

Does nutrition replace eye treatment?

No - nutrition supports eye health but doesn't replace proper diagnosis and treatment. It works best alongside regular eye care, especially for conditions like AMD or diabetic eye disease.

Can nutrition help dry eyes?

Omega-3 fatty acids may help some people with dry eye as part of overall management, alongside treating the underlying cause. We'll fit nutrition advice into your dry-eye plan.

The Science

How Does Nutrition Affect Your Eyes?

The retina and macula are metabolically active and vulnerable to oxidative stress, so antioxidants and certain nutrients help protect them. Key players include lutein and zeaxanthin (found in leafy greens), vitamins C and E, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids.

~25%

lower risk of progression to advanced AMD

For people with intermediate age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the AREDS2 supplement formula has been shown to reduce the risk of progression to advanced AMD by around a quarter — a good example of nutrition making a measurable difference in the right patients.
