There are some supplements that are both vitamins and herbals that have properties in them that can help promote good vision. These include vitamin A, which helps the blood vessels in the eye walls and then there are herbals like gingo biloba that has anti-oxidant properties. Passion flower has the compounds in it naturally that help to improve blood flow to the eyes and bilberry that has compounds that is able to promote eye health to the retina and interior eye walls.
These are supplements that all have the ability to promote good eye health and they have few side effects, unlike medications that are taken to treat the eyes. Vitamin A is one of the supplements that should not be taken in high dosages, because it is a non-water soluble vitamin. This means it is able to be stored in the body and when taken in supplement form, rather than from vitamin A rich foods it can become toxic in the body. This can be a dangerous condition and should be avoided, which is simply by not taking it in high dosages.
For the person that has an eye disease they should speak to their specialist prior to taking any type of herbal or supplement that promotes good eye health to ensure there will not be an interaction with any medications they might be taking. This is also true for people that have medical conditions, they should speak to their physician prior to starting any supplement regiment. |
