At Eye Centers of Florida, we believe that supporting your eye health goes beyond your annual eye exam. Properly protecting your vision also means ensuring that your eyes have all the nutritional support they need to function at their best.
If you’re suffering from an eye issue that’s affecting your eyesight, or want to be proactive about protecting your vision, there are various supplements our experienced Fort Myers eye doctors can recommend to help support your eyes, prevent or slow the progression of eye diseases, and even improve your vision.
Dry eye syndrome occurs when your eyes aren’t producing enough tears, or if your tears fail to properly moisturize your eyes. Because tears are essential for protecting, lubricating, and clearing the surface of the eye, insufficient tears can lead to painful symptoms. Dry eyes can be caused by numerous factors, including the environment, autoimmune diseases, and decreased sensation in your cornea.
Those with dry eyes can experience:
If you’ve been diagnosed with dry eye, our doctors have an array of treatments that can easily be done at home to help you alleviate the discomfort of dry eye. One effective solution is our Dry Eye Formula. This oral supplement provides your eyes with a dose of Omega-3 Fatty Acids, clinically proven to support the function of the tear glands, which help your eyes produce healthy tears.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the most common causes of blindness, especially among older people. This disease causes deterioration of the macula, the small structure at the back of the eye that’s responsible for the ability to read, drive, recognize faces, and perform other fine detail work.
In an effort to combat AMD and prevent vision loss, the National Eye Institute conducted an Age-Related Eye Disease Study, also known as AREDS. The study established a precise combination of ingredients that helped treat AMD by slowing the progression of the disease.
If you’re at high risk for developing AMD, or want to slow the progression of your AMD, our doctors at Eye Centers of Florida will recommend one of our trusted macular supplements:
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that put pressure on the optic nerve, which threatens vision and can cause a permanent loss of sight. Glaucoma can develop very slowly and subtly, meaning that most people won’t recognize glaucoma immediately.
