The 10 Best Eye Supplements For Vision Performance & Longevity*

Chock-full of botanicals (i.e., phytonutrient antioxidant powerhouses) that promote healthy eye function and longevity, our plant-powered formula delivers daily, targeted retinal and macular support to improve visual sharpness and acuity, bolster ocular blood flow, and promote dry eye lubrication.

The heroes here are three famous eye-supporting carotenoids that help combat oxidative stress; astaxanthin fights eye strain and fatigue to enhance visual performance, while macular carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin act like "internal sunglasses" to reduce light sensitivity, promote blue-light filtering and photoprotection, and support eye strain reset and recovery from screen fatigue.

This array of vision longevity botanicals is rounded out by supporting players Patagonian maqui berry (to promote eye hydration and fight against dryness caused by excessive screen time) and saffron (to support photoreceptor cells and reduce eye pressure) for a truly comprehensive formula that will support your eyes today, tomorrow, and way down the road.*

Whether we realize it or not, staring at our computer screens while we work (and smartphone or tablet screens while we play) uses our near vision, which can put a strain on our eye muscles and cause ocular fatigue. Antioxidant powerhouse astaxanthin helps our eyes focus and refocus while working on our screens—and aids reset and recovery when we step away from them.

This high-potency astaxanthin supplement delivers 12 milligrams of sustainably sourced Icelandic astaxanthin with organic virgin coconut oil (for enhanced absorption) in just one daily softgel. *

Of all the vision-supporting nutrients you can add to your supplementation routine, lutein and zeaxanthin are at the top of the list. These macular carotenoids not only promote blue-light filtering and photoprotection (an increasingly important benefit thanks to modern digital screen use), but they also combat eye strain and fatigue, increase ocular antioxidant activity, and enhance overall visual performance.

This high-potency eye supplement delivers 20 milligrams of lutein and 4 milligrams of zeaxanthin to block blue-light burnout and improve overall visual function, plus additional eye-supporting antioxidants (astaxanthin, bilberry extract, and vitamin A) to combat ocular oxidative stress.*

In addition to all the essential vitamins and minerals you need for whole-body health, our multi delivers a plethora of vitamins, minerals, and botanicals that promote eye function and vision longevity: Vitamins A, C, and E deliver potent antioxidant actions that fight free radicals in the eye and support overall ocular health and function; trace minerals zinc and copper promote retinal function; and longevity phytonutrients lutein, zeaxanthin, and lycopene (which are innovative and unique additions to a multi) help combat oxidative stress in the eye and throughout the body. For a holistic daily multivitamin that specifically targets eye health and supports visual performance, this multi can't be beat!*

Thanks to modern screen use, eye dryness is more prevalent than ever before. Why? People tend to blink less when staring at a screen for extended periods of time (like, say, an entire workday), which affects the tear film and can lead to tired, sore eyes. Maqui berries have been clinically shown to promote tear production and enhance overall eye hydration. With 60 milligrams of maqui berry extract, this highly potent supplement helps aid eye lubrication from the inside out to support overall eye comfort and ease while wearing contacts, using a computer, or dealing with other environmental factors that can contribute to occasional eye dryness.*

What the heck does the health of your blood vessels have to do with eye function, you ask? Well, nutrients and oxygen are transported throughout the body via blood vessels—including those that make their way to the eye. Proper blood flow and blood vessel integrity are critical for getting our eyes the nutrients they need, when they need them.

This formula contains 100 milligrams of grapeseed extract, which contains oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) that help scavenge free radicals to inhibit oxidative stress and protect the integrity and function of blood vessels in the eye, so your peepers can function well for years to come.* 

At mbg, we love a good plant-powered formula—and this supplement is positively teeming with 17 (!) botanically derived carotenoids (e.g., lutein, zeaxanthin, lycopene, and astaxanthin), flavonoids (e.g., elderberry, bilberry, and grapeseed), and enzymes (e.g., kale, watercress, and SOD) that support the health and longevity of the retina, cornea, and eye blood vessels. Packed with plants that increase antioxidant activity, this formula helps eyes handle the environmental stressors common to modern life (think blue light, excessive screen use, and even air pollution) by helping nourish, cleanse, and protect your eyes now and down the road.*

If you aren't already familiar, AREDS and AREDS2 are clinical trials sponsored by the National Eye Institute that established a number of vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients crucial for maintaining eye health and vision longevity—especially late in life. This AREDS-inspired formula contains all of these critical nutrients (i.e., vitamins C and E, zinc, copper, lutein, and zeaxanthin) in efficacious doses and optimally bioavailable forms (per AREDS) to support eye integrity and help maintain the health and function of the retina and macula.*

Did you know the highest concentration of DHA is found in the retina? DHA is a major structural lipid that makes up the outer segment membranes of the retinal photoreceptor cells and supports faster response to stimulation and optimal visual sensation to literally help us see clearly!

Your daily must-have essential for brain health and eye function, this omega-3 supplement delivers critical neuroprotective fatty acids EPA and DHA to promote eye integrity, visual acuity, retinal and macular health, and overall ocular function. With 1,500 milligrams of EPA plus DHA in their triglyceride form (i.e., the optimal, most bioavailable form) sustainably sourced from 100% wild-caught, cold-water anchovies from the South Pacific (with third-party-verified ORIVO certification).
