Why Eye Health Gets Worse with Age

According to a recent study out of the Wilmer Eye Institute at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, nearly 50% of people (47.4%) of the 2,044 U.S. adults polled rated vision loss as the worst possible health outcome, outpacing such other concerns as loss of limb, memory, hearing, or speech. Respondents reported that their top concerns related to vision loss were a diminished quality of life and loss of independence.

Unfortunately, several lifestyle and environmental factors can threaten eye health and visual performance over time, such as…

• Less-than-stellar diet (e.g., not eating enough antioxidant- and micronutrient-rich fruits and vegetables)
• Excessive sun exposure
• Not maintaining a healthy weight
• A sedentary lifestyle (i.e., not exercising as often as you should)
• Smoking

Of course, there are also factors outside our control, such as the family we’re born into, as certain ethnicities and genetic variations can make it more likely for some people to experience vision troubles in their lifetime.

There’s another elephant in the room: HEBL, which is short for “high-energy blue light,” a specific type (i.e., wavelength of light) that’s emitted from digital screens—such as your computer, smartphone, tablet, television, and the like.

Want to hear something scary about HEBL and digital devices? Check this out.

Recent studies indicate that screen time, which was previously at concerning levels, is on the rise, with digital device usage increasing by 5 hours, leading to a jump in screen time up to 17 ½ hours per day for heavy users and an average of 30 hours per week for non-heavy users.

Now, if you’re a tech-savvy person, you might also know that the blue-light damage from these digital devices is courtesy of the Nobel-prize-winning light-emitting diodes, or LEDs for short. Yes, those are the same LEDs that illuminate most homes, offices, stores, and so on—the same artificial lighting that most people are bathing in morning, noon, and night (often before the sun rises until well, well beyond sunset).

In other words, our eyes aren’t just being pummeled with blue light the majority of the day via screen exposure bouncing from one screen to another—from computer to smart phone at work and from TV to smart phone to tablet at home during leisure time. We’re essentially showering our eyes with blue light from the time we wake until the moment we shut our eyes. As researchers in one paper put it, we’re talking about “unavoidable 24/7 access and exposure to blue-enriched light.”

Meanwhile, the blue-light damage is silently taking a mounting toll…

You see, HEBL causes damage to the retinal tissue not only by promoting oxidative stress, but also increased stress in the endoplasmic reticulum. Oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress are the major factors underlying photoreceptor degeneration, which contributes to a variety of age-related eye health and vision concerns. In addition to oxidative stress and increased stress in the endoplasmic reticulum, overexposure to HEBL is implicated in retinal damage and decreased visual acuity.

How to Improve Eye Health Naturally

Yes, taking steps to address the relevant lifestyle and environmental factors listed above can go a long way toward improved eye health. For example, quitting smoking, wearing sunglasses, improving diet, exercising regularly, and taking steps to manage your weight can all help improve or maintain eye health and provide vision support as you age.

Eating a healthy diet can go a long way to improve eye health, as there are a number of key nutrients, minerals, and vitamins for eye health. For example, the following nutrients are especially important to provide vision support and improve eye health:

• Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly DHA, which can be found in wild salmon, Pacific sardines, mussels, rainbow trout, Atlantic mackerel, anchovies, herring, and oysters
• Vitamin C, from sources such as papaya, grapefruit, bell peppers, Bok choy, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, strawberries, pineapple, kiwifruit, cauliflower, cabbage, and tomatoes
• Vitamin E, which you can get from spinach, kale, and other dark leafy greens, sunflower seeds, asparagus, almonds, peanuts, broccoli, and bell peppers
• β-carotene, a potent antioxidant that can be found in carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, mangos, papayas, cantaloupes, spinach, kale, and red bell peppers
• Zinc, from sources such as pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, oysters, scallops, shrimp, beef, spinach, cashews, almonds, beans, peanuts, pork, and yogurt

Just like you can exercise your muscles to help build strength, endurance, and physical function, you can also do the following exercises, which are especially important if you find yourself spending any time in front of a computer or other digital devices, to improve eye health and provide vision support:

• The 20-20-20 Rule—Every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break, and focus your eyes on something at least 20 feet away.
• How Slow Can You Go—Every 20 minutes, blink 10 times by closing your eyes very slowly (like you’re falling asleep).
• Palming—Rub your palms together to heat them up and place them gently over your closed eyes until the heat is absorbed.

You can also take steps to provide your eyes protection from blue-light damage:

• You can wear amber-tinted, blue-light-filtering glasses.
• You can install incandescent or amber-tinted light bulbs.
• You can also download apps for your digital devices that are designed to help filter out the blue light.
• You can spend less time in front of screens.
• You can limit your use of artificial indoor lighting (e.g., when you are indoors, situate yourself in areas that are well lit naturally by the sun)
• You can spend more time outdoors.

Perhaps one of the easiest things you can do that’s also highly effective is to use an eye-health supplement that contains key, research-backed compounds, which have been shown in clinical research to provide support for eye health and a robust array of visual performance benefits…

Why Is Ageless Sight the Right Eye-Health Supplement for You?

At least 700 carotenoids are found in nature. Around 50 are included in the typical human diet, 15 – 16 of which make their way to the circulatory system, but remarkably, only 3 are found in the eye where they are highly concentrated at the macula, which is the part of the retina at the back of the eye that’s responsible for our central vision/focus, most of our color vision, and the fine detail of what we see. Simply put, the macula is the functional center of the retina. It is designed to provide sharp, clear, detailed vision.

Appropriately named the “macular carotenoids” and also known as the “xanthophyll carotenoids,” these three yellow macular pigments—Lutein, Zeaxanthin, and Meso-Zeaxanthin—have powerful antioxidant properties and play essential roles in filtering HEBL and in minimizing the oxidative stress known to be a significant contributor to age-related eye health and vision concerns.

These three macular carotenoids compose what’s known as the “Macular Protective Pigment” (MPP, for short), which plays an important role in protecting vision as it filters out and absorbs cell-damaging blue wavelengths of light. Thanks to its powerful antioxidant properties and HEBL-filtering capacity, you can think of the MPP and its three macular carotenoids as:

• Sunscreen for the eyes
• Natural sunglasses

Unfortunately, low levels of MPP can be caused by dietary insufficiency, a lack of ability to convert Lutein into Meso-Zeaxanthin and the aging process. Without a strong MPP, the macula is left defenseless against HEBL and free radicals, leading to problems such as hazy vision and glare sensitivity (e.g., night vision, bright-light recovery time).

Since the human body does not naturally manufacture macular carotenoids, proper nutrition is imperative when it comes to improving macular pigment and protecting against damaging HEBL as well as improving visual performance.

While Lutein and Zeaxanthin can be obtained in the diet from sources such as green leafy vegetables (e.g., kale, spinach), egg yolks, and certain other colorful fruits and vegetables (e.g., broccoli, peas, green and red bell peppers, carrots), Meso-Zeaxanthin is rarely found in the diet, although it has been detected in small amounts in shrimp and fish, such as trout.

This is important to point out because Meso-Zeaxanthin makes up over 1/3 of the MPP, and it is the most potent antioxidant among the macular carotenoids.

Unfortunately, even the best and healthiest diets only provide 1 – 3mg of macular carotenoids while research shows that at least 6mg per day is needed and upwards of 20mg daily is needed to maintain a healthy MPP.

Thus, supplementing with efficacious levels of all THREE macular carotenoids—especially Meso-Zeaxanthin—may be the most practical means of obtaining these key phytonutrients to promote optimal eye health and visual performance.

That’s precisely what Ageless Sight was formulated to do, and it’s why we believe it’s the right eye-health supplement for you…

• All THREE Macular Carotenoids. Ageless Sight features Xanthosight®, a clinically validated formula of the macular carotenoids Lutein, Zeaxanthin, and Meso-Zeaxanthin. Many eye-health supplements only provide Lutein and Zeaxanthin (while some provide NONE at all), and as we established, Meso-Zeaxanthin may be the most important.
• Clinically Validated Ratio. Not only does Xanthosight® provide all three macular carotenoids, it does so in a clinically validated ratio, with 10mg Lutein, 2mg Zeaxanthin, 10mg Meso-Zeaxanthin in every serving. Instead of the clinically validated 10:2:10 ratio, many eye health supplements contain a 10:2:0 or 5:1:0 ratio of macular carotenoids.
• Clinically Validated Formula. Xanthosight® has been shown in clinical research to increase macular pigment, improve visual performance—including contrast sensitivity, visual acuity, processing speed, blue light defense, and glare recovery—and support cognitive function.
• Front-to-Back Support. Ageless Sight also features AstaReal® Astaxanthin, nature’s most potent antioxidant. While the macular carotenoids in Xanthosight® nourish the back of the eye (i.e., macula), astaxanthin seems to provide support for the hard-working ciliary muscles in the front of the eye, which can be strained with long periods of digital device use, leading to eye strain, dry eye, and eye fatigue.
• Third-Party Tested. Like all BioTRUST products, Ageless Sight is non-GMO and gluten-free. It is manufactured in a GMP-certified facility, and it undergoes rigorous third-party testing for major allergens, heavy metals and microbes, and of course, potency so you can be sure that what’s on the label is in the bottle.

The bottom line is that we formulated Ageless Sight with all THREE macular carotenoids in a clinically validated ratio along with the world’s most potent antioxidant to provide comprehensive front-to-back nutritional support that promotes optimal eye health and visual performance.
