Eye Damage

Studies have shown that daily use of
Omega-3 DHA can help reduce age related
eye damage

Glaucoma

Omega-3 EPA and DHA may help decrease
the risk of high eye pressure and
glaucoma.

Vision Development

A lack of Omega-3 DHA can impair vision
development, especially in growing children.

Macular Degeneration

With more than 25 million people affected worldwide, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) ranks as the third leading cause of blindness after cataracts and glaucoma. In the Western world it is the number one leading cause of blindness for people over 55 and that number is expected to triple by 2025. There is growing evidence suggesting that Omega-3 DHA and EPA can protect against the development and progression of AMD. Studies have shown that people who consume the recommended intake of fish or having higher blood levels of Omega-3, are up to 50% less likely to experience eye damage as a result of advanced macular degeneration.

Glaucoma

Omega-3 DHA and EPA may help with proper drainage of intraocular fluid from the eye, decreasing the risk of high eye pressure and glaucoma. DHA may also protect the blood vessels of the eye by inhibiting the development of blood clots and plaque, allowing regular levels of oxygen to be supplied to the retina.

Recommended Daily Intake

A daily intake of 200 mg of Omega-3 DHA for adults contributes to the maintenance of normal vision. Additionally, 200 mg of DHA intake a day during pregnancy contributes to normal eye development of the fetus and breastfed infants. Both recommendations are in addition to the daily recommended intake of 250 mg of combined Omega-3 EPA and DHA.
