If the internet wasn't already a part of your professional and personal lives, the pandemic has likely solidified digital technology's spot in your daily routine for keeping up with current events, connecting with friends, catching up on emails, seeking entertainment, and more. In fact, a 2021 Statista survey found that 46% of respondents spent [an average of five to six hours on their phone]( every day. That's just one screen, mind you. Add on a full (or even partial) workday in front of a computer, and you're looking at a serious amount of daily screen time. Here's the thing: Since digital technology has fully infiltrated just about every activity in our day-to-day routine, we haven't made proper adjustments to ensure our eyes and brains are taken care of. Optometrists and neuroscientists are now finding that excessive screen time is causing a number of concerns for the overall health and longevity of our central nervous systems. [Shop eye health+]( So, what does this mean for our ocular health? Biologically speaking, we simply aren't equipped to stare at screens 24/7. Too much screen time can lead to [eye dryness]( (from lack of blinking), digital eye strain, [screen fatigue]( and unwanted side effects from [increased blue light exposure](. The truth is that we need to [support our eye health and vision longevity]( now more than ever. At mindbodygreen, we've been keeping a pulse on this tech trend for quite some time. That's why we created our comprehensive vision longevity supplement, [eye health+](. Our eyes are one of the most metabolically active organs in our entire bodyâmeaning there's a high demand for energy and nutrients that can only be met with proper nutrition and key lifestyle habits. With so much metabolic activity going on and increased exposure to environmental stressorsâe.g., blue light and air pollutantsâour eyes are more susceptible to oxidative stress, which means we need eye-specific antioxidants to fight off free radicals and maintain healthy eye function.* The problem? It can be difficult to get [key ocular carotenoids]( with potent antioxidant actionsânamely, lutein, zeaxanthin, and astaxanthinâfrom diet alone (much less every day). That's why mbg's [eye health+]( includes clinically researched, full-potency doses of these critical carotenoids, plus two additional eye-supporting botanicals: Patagonian maqui berry and saffron.* In just one daily capsule, here's how each of the plant bioactives in mbg's vegan formula promotes eye health, function, and longevity:* - [Lutein and zeaxanthin]( promote macular health and longevity by operating as "internal sunglasses" to provide photoprotection from blue light and enhance overall visual performance. They work at the back of the retina in its centermost area (the macula).
- Astaxanthin is busy neutralizing free radicals in the front of our eyes, combating eye strain and fatigue, promoting ocular blood flow, improving dynamic focus, and sharpening vision in the process.
- Patagonian maqui berry combats eye dryness and ocular fatigue by increasing tear production, improving lubrication, and fighting free radicals.
- Saffron has antioxidant and neuroprotective properties that help it support retinal function, bolster photoreceptor cells, reduce eye pressure, and enhance visual acuity. [Shop eye health+]( If you're looking for high-quality, holistic eye support, mbg's [eye health+]( is unlike any other ocular supplement on the market. But don't take our word for itâjust ask what expert neuro-ophthalmologists, optometrists, neurologists, neuroscientists, research scientists, registered dietitians, and toxicologists think of our innovative, plant-based formula: "eye health+ provides 5 powerful antioxidants our eyes need to stay healthy." "Vision is perhaps the most important of the five senses, and our eyes need unique botanical nutrients daily to keep them healthy. This is critical now more than ever in our digital world, with increased demands on our eyes from excess screen time. The nutrients found in mbg's eye health+ provide five powerful antioxidants our eyes need to stay healthy. Two macular carotenoids, lutein and zeaxanthin, act as our natural sunglasses and blue blockers, neutralizing the harmful effects of UV and blue light, and are crucial for macular health and longevity. Astaxanthin, often called the "king of antioxidants," also fights against oxidative stress in the eye, improves ocular blood flow, and protects the retina. The anthocyanins found in maqui berry support healthy tear production to [fight dry eye]( while saffron's crocins deliver anti-inflammatory effects that protect the retina. Together, these five powerhouse botanicals support healthy eyes for adults of all ages."* â[Rudrani Banik, M.D.]( integrative neuro-ophthalmologist & associate professor Interested in seeing for yourself?
