EyePromise@ Eye Vitamins Supports Women's Eye Health and Eye Safety
Month
ST. LOUIS, April 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Did you know women are more
likely to suffer from visual impairments like Age-related Macular
Degeneration, Glaucoma, Diabetic Retinopathy, and Cataracts than men?
According to the National Eye Institute (NEI), out of the 3.6 million
Americans over 40 who suffer from optical damage or injury --
including blindness -- 2.3 million are women. That's why EyePromise is
supporting Women's Eye Health and Safety Month throughout April.

The campaign, sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) is designed to create awareness around eye health and
safety. To celebrate the month, EyePromise has developed free learning
resources which can be found at
http://www.eyepromise.com/natural-eye-vitamins/the-community/learning-resources/.
Readers will also be able to find offers toward a future purchase on
an array of EyePromise products as well as tips on preserving eye
health and vision safety.
The first rule of protecting your eyes and preserving vision is to
adopt a healthy lifestyle and get regular exams.
"A routine eye exam can reveal more than a need for a change in
prescription," said Chris Barber, ZeaVision President. "We speak with
eye doctors each day who talk about conducting an eye exam on a
patient only to discover an issue that not only affects a patient's
eye health but can potentially change their lives."
As we age, our vision changes and for most of us that entails wearing
glasses, contacts or even undergoing surgical procedures. But women
can also protect and preserve their vision through nutrition and
supplementation.
The back of the eye contains a film called macular pigment. This
pigment, made up of Zeaxanthin and Lutein, functions like a pair of
"internal sunglasses". Dense macular pigment protects photoreceptors
responsible for vision and can be built by eating certain fruits and
vegetables. While lutein is readily available in many fruits and
vegetables, Zeaxanthin is scarce in the average diet. The nutrient
Zeaxanthin, found in foods such as corn, eggs, and orange/yellow
peppers, is not produced within the body. Several formulas within the
EyePromise's product line contain the highest levels of dietary
Zeaxanthin available of any eye vitamin on the market.
EyePromise 's w ebsite also features videos, the latest scientific
research, and downloadable resources on Age-related Macular
Degeneration, Diabetic Retinopathy and other eye health topics. All
EyePromise eye vitamins feature a 60-day, money-back guarantee , and
EyePromise is the only brand guaranteed to increase MPOD (Macular
Pigment Optical Density). To learn more, visit
