Occular Nutrition
July 2nd, 2005
Having good vision is related to occular nutrition. Eye sight nutrition is an important part of helping maintain our vision and eye health as we age.
One can safely say that every part of the human eye needs nutritional support and nutrition to improve eye health (occular is actually spelled as “ocular”, but occular will be used on this page).
Healthy vision and the human eye is related to the health of the individual parts of the eye – the cornea, iris, macula, lens, optic nerve, pupil, retina and the vitreous humor. And occular nutrition is one of the ways good vision can be supported.
As we age, many things can go wrong with our vision. Ultraviolet light from the sun can damage the lens and the cornea. Wind, dust, chlorine fumes, automobile fumes, freezing temperatures and physical injury are examples of threats to good vision.
Vibration from driving and hitting potholes has a cumulative negative impact on eye health as well as long hours spent in front of a computer screen.
