Dry Eyes

Did you know that daily consumption of omega-3 fish oil has been linked to healthy eyes and may reduce the risk of some chronic eye conditions such as dry eyes and macular degeneration? During the course of your eye exam, the doctors of Lifetime EyeCare will determine if your eye condition would benefit from supplements. If needed, our practice will dispense the supplements that will help you maintain healthy eyes or reduce the risk of developing a chronic eye disease. Clinical research has found dry eyes and age related macular degeneration to be nutrition responsive disorders. Be advised that "one-a-day" multivitamins typically deliver below the recommended levels for eye health. Our doctors are an excellent source for information regarding supplementation and look forward to assisting you at your next visit by adding powerful anti-oxidants to your diet which will improve your eye health.
