Ask HN: What supplements do you take to care for your eyes?
Beside the regular rest from viewing LCD screen, do you take any supplements or other measure to care and protect your eyes?
- countessa 14y agoNothing specifically for the eyes. I take cod liver oil regularly and zinc if I start to feel the early stages of a cold.
- UnoriginalGuy 14y agoI've tried Zinc, it has nasty side-effects of the bathroom variety. :)
- Mankhool 14y agoAccording to my Optometrist, unless you are suffering from Dry Eye, the best thing to take for Eye Care is Omega-3s.
- will_brown 14y agoMy Dad is 78 has Macular Degeneration and takes Lutein. He had to give up driving about 8 years ago because his ability to distinguish colors declined, a grey car might blend into the road or even the sky on an overcast day. On the other hand he still uses a computer daily (at 200 - 300% magnification). Aside from prescription eye drops with steroids I think my Dad found a medical consensus Lutein is the "vitamin for the eye".
- wturner 14y agoNot sure if this counts but I drink carrot juice religiously. As well as a multi vitamin and omega 3 capsules daily.
