Your Eye Vitamins Report
As doctors, it is our duty and responsibility to remain aware of
new products and procedures that assist in decreasing vision loss
and maintaining healthy eyes.
While there is no single pill that will restore perfect vision
or optimal eye health, there is new evidence from Bausch and Lomb
Pharmaceuticals that certain minerals and vitamins may be part of
the eye's normal defense system against damage.
The formulation of high-potency zinc and the anti-oxidants
vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin A (as beta-carotene), selenium and
copper have been shown to be effective in assisting the eye's
defenses against certain degenerative conditions.
The formulation, called OCUVITE, developed by B&L
Pharmaceuticals, was based on clinical and research studies that
suggested that deficiencies in dietary zinc and antioxidant
micronutrients occur in patients who are at possible risk of
developing macular degeneration and other ophthalmic
conditions.
National surveys have demonstrated that the elderly, the
population most at risk for macular degeneration, are frequently
found to have inadequate diets that are often deficient in zinc and
other micronutrients.
The retina normally has one of the highest
concentrations of zinc in the body, and researchers have suggested
that zinc plays a vital role in the metabolism of the retina. In
patients with macular degeneration or cataracts, long-term
oxidative damage is thought to contribute to the pathogenesis. Zinc
and antioxidant micronutrients may be part of the eye's
normal defense system against oxidative damage.
Ocuvite, containing more zinc than any leading
multivitamin/multimineral product, provides the eye doctor with a
dietary supplement that may be useful in the patient whose diet is
deficient in zinc and antioxidant micronutrients.
Zinc is an important cofactor of many enzymes and an essential
mineral for tissue repair, skeletal and tooth development,
metabolism, protection of the liver from chemical damage,
maintaining the proper concentration of
vitamin A in the blood, and for white blood cells to function in
the immune system.
Ocuvite and Ocuvite Extra is a fortified combination of
antioxidants, select B-vitamins and zinc and is based upon the most
recent clinical publications on antioxidants. It is the #1
recommended supplement by eye care specialists.
We'll keep you posted about further vitamin and mineral
developments that may help strengthen the eyes and improve
deteriorating vision.
