I take a multivitamin every day. Isn't that good enough?

Beginning with the National Eye Institutes Age Related Eye Disease Study in 2001, which was the first research showing the benefit of nutritional supplements in the treatment of macular degeneration, three points were proven:

1. Only specific ingredients had benefit against eye disease. 2. Scientific research, rather than hundreds of opinions in the lay press, should dictate the optimal ingredients and dosages of eye vitamins. 3. Extremely high levels of these ingredients were necessary to have an effect against eye disease.

Inexpensive mass-marketed multivitamins contain many ingredients but have no proven benefit against the progression of macular degeneration or the treatment of dry eye syndrome.

Restoring Eyesight to the Blind

Every five seconds, someone in the world goes blind - with women and girls accounting for 4 out of 6 of these cases. Just as importantly, over 75 percent of blindness can be prevented or cured if communities have access to adequate eye care services.

That's where Seva Foundation comes in. Rather than sending outsiders to run programs in impoverished areas worldwide, Seva trains local people to provide care to their own communities. In the past year alone, Seva supported programs have helped to prevent blindness in 25,000 children and restored eyesight to over 30,000 people, mostly through cataract surgery.

One doctor recalls about remote western Tibet, "There was one older woman who'd been completely blind from cataract for at least eight years... We did the surgery, and the next day when she took the patch off, she burst into tears because she could see her grandchildren for the first time."

Add your voice to a chorus of others and say "Thank You!" to Seva Foundation for their amazing work to help people recover - and keep - the gift of sight!

What Are Your Eyes Trying to Tell You?

An eye exam will, of course, let you know the state of your vision. But did you know that it can also provide a window into your general health? More than simply conduits that allow you to see what's in front of you, your eyes can reveal the presence of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other health conditions, and are valuable tools in helping you manage your overall wellness. So, what are you eyes trying to tell you?

* Heart disease and high blood pressure. According to a study published in the journal Heart, retinopathy, or damage to the retina (the tissue lining the back of the eye) is a marker for cardiovascular disease. In this study, conducted at the University of Melbourne in Australia, retinal photographs taken over a 12-year period were examined, along with information about which study participants had subsequently died of cardiovascular problems. Researchers concluded that there was a correlation between damage to the retina and death from heart problems. Eye doctors also can tell if someone has high blood pressure-often a narrowing of the retinal blood vessels is a giveaway.

* Diabetes. Diabetes and eye problems, unfortunately, go hand in hand. The disease causes problems with the tiny vessels in the retina, causing them to leak blood and weaken. In fact, diabetes is the number one cause of blindness in this country. It's extremely important for anyone with signs of diabetes or prediabetes to get regular eye exams in order to track the progression of the disease.

Can Glasses and Contacts Hurt You?

Have you ever gone in for an eye exam and heard the doctor say,"Great news! Your vision's improved another 2.0 diopters --those glasses are really helping!"

I didn't think so!

Glasses are a "prescription," and, like a prescription drug, they can be abused.

So what can you do?

Pay close attention...

*Step One

You need to learn how to use your glasses so that they don'tcontribute to further vision loss. And here's how...

Let's say, for example, that you're nearsighted(unable to see distant objects clearly) and you are reading thise-mail with your glasses on. Do you really need them, or didyou just forget about them being on your face?

By wearing your glasses you could be doubling the effects of "near-point stress."

The American Optometric Association hails near-point stressas one of the major causes of nearsightedness and itsfurther progression. And by wearing your glasses,you're doubling the effects of it -- ouch!

Glasses and contacts can actually make yourvision worse over time. Is that something you want to risk with your eyesight?
