The Connection Between Your Health & Eyes
There’s an inextricable link between your eyes and overall health, but you can help strengthen that relationship—even if you live with other health conditions like diabetes.
Strategic lifestyle changes and nutritional support can help you preserve your eye health and maintain your quality of life. We can help guide you through these changes with our comprehensive eye exam process.
Personalizing Your Nutrition Plan
What you eat can also help support the health and well-being of your eyes. Choosing the right foods and vitamins for your eye care needs can help lower your risk of developing sight-stealing conditions while also maintaining clear, comfortable sight.
We tailor your nutrition plan based on our findings from your eye exam, but rest assured, we’re always ready to tweak our suggestions to better cater to your eyes as their needs evolve.

Macular pigment is found at the center of the retina and is composed of 3 critical carotenoids, lutein, meso-zeaxanthin, and zeaxanthin. It protects the retina, where our vision is sharpest.
