Eye Vitamins & Supplements

They say that eyes are the windows to the soul. Whatever you believe, eyesight is considered by many to be the most important of all our senses. One of the commonest conditions affecting eyesight is age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Research now shows that a healthy diet and good nutrition can support eye health, with eye vitamins and supplements containing carotenoids such as Lutein and Zeaxanthin also playing an important role.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are eye health supplements?

Eye health supplements provide key nutrients that support healthy vision - most notably the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin, which research shows play an important role alongside a healthy diet. Our Visisoft™ range is specially formulated for healthy eyes, combining these carotenoids with supporting nutrients like vitamin A, riboflavin and zinc, all of which contribute to the maintenance of normal vision.

What are eye supplements good for?

They deliver the specific nutrients your eyes rely on: vitamin A, riboflavin (B2) and zinc all contribute to the maintenance of normal vision, while DHA from omega-3 fish oil does the same. Lutein and zeaxanthin, the carotenoids concentrated in the macula, are the headline ingredients - the amount of lutein in the eye can decrease with age, and because the body can't produce it, it must come from diet or supplements.

Which eye health supplement is right for me?

For everyday vision support, Visisoft™ Original is the proven favourite lutein and zeaxanthin with eye-friendly bilberry and grape seed, formulated to help counteract blue light, making it well suited to heavy screen users. If you want the most complete long-term support, step up to Visisoft™ UltraBright , which adds meso-zeaxanthin for the full three-carotenoid macular complex, plus vitamin A, riboflavin and zinc for the maintenance of normal vision. And if oily fish rarely features in your diet, pairing either with a high-DHA omega-3 rounds out the picture.

What are lutein and zeaxanthin?

They're powerful carotenoids - plant pigments found in the macula, the part of the retina responsible for sharp central vision, and they're associated primarily with eye health. Crucially, your body can't make lutein, and levels in the eye can decline with age, so it has to come from foods like leafy greens or a supplement. Our Visisoft™ Original provides both, alongside eye-friendly bilberry and grape seed.

Can supplements help with screen time and blue light?

With screen time having surged in recent years, it's a genuine concern. Lutein and zeaxanthin naturally accumulate in the macula, where they help filter blue light - and our Visisoft™ Original is formulated to help counteract retinal damage from blue light. Supplements work best alongside sensible habits: regular screen breaks, good lighting and the 20-20-20 rule (every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds).

Which vitamins are good for eyesight?

Vitamin A is the classic - it contributes to the maintenance of normal vision, as do riboflavin (vitamin B2) and zinc. DHA, the omega-3 fatty acid in oily fish, also contributes to maintaining normal vision. Our Visisoft™ UltraBright brings several of these together - a lutein, zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin complex with added vitamin A, riboflavin and zinc - in one premium softgel.

Does omega-3 help your eyes?

Yes - DHA, one of the key omega-3 fatty acids in oily fish, contributes to the maintenance of normal vision. Our High EPA/DHA and Ultra EPA/DHA Omega-3 formulas deliver premium levels of DHA per capsule, making them a smart companion to a carotenoid supplement like Visisoft™, particularly if oily fish doesn't feature regularly in your diet.

Can supplements cure poor eyesight or reverse eye conditions?

No supplement can cure short-sightedness, reverse AMD or replace your glasses. What good nutrition can do is support the maintenance of normal vision and give your eyes the nutrients research shows they rely on. Regular eye tests remain essential, and if you notice changes in your vision, see your optician or GP promptly.
