Tips and Tricks for Good Eyesight
Our eyes are one of the most important and sensitive organs in our body. Not only do they allow us to experience the world in all its colors and shapes, but they also play a central role in our daily lives and well-being. Given the increasing digitalization and the associated stress of working for hours in front of screens, caring for our eyes is more important than ever.
The right diet, targeted supplementation with food supplements and special exercises to relax and strengthen the eye muscles can have a positive effect on our eyesight in the long term.
Food for Healthy Eyes
A balanced diet is the key to health – including eye health. Certain nutrients are said to have a positive effect on vision. In the infographic below you will find some of the most important nutrients that are associated with healthy eyes and good vision.

Food Supplements for Eye Health
In addition to diet, food supplements can play a valuable role, especially when nutritional needs are not met by normal food.
All of our marine Omega-3 softgels with EPA and DHA are a convenient way to increase the intake of essential Omega-3 fatty acids, especially for people who eat little fish. Our vegan algae oil capsules and vegan oil blends with Omega-3 are the perfect alternative for people who prefer vegan supplements.
Blueberries are a true superfood for the eyes. High amounts of antioxidants can contribute to cell protection and prevent age-related eye diseases (e.g. macular degeneration). The vitamin A they contain is essential for good vision and plays an important role in maintaining the cornea and retina. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that is crucial for cell protection and strengthens the capillaries in the eyes. Our Lutein-Blueberry Plus hard capsule also contains the antioxidant lutein, which occurs naturally in the macula. This can increase the density of the macular pigment and thus protect the eyes from harmful blue light. This makes it a suitable food supplement for people who spend a lot of time in front of the PC, cell phone or television, either privately or professionally.
A health claim can be made for the following food supplements:
- DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal vision.
- Vitamin A contributes to the maintenance of normal vision.
- Vitamin C helps protect cells from oxidative stress.
- Vitamin E helps protect cells from oxidative stress.
- Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal vision.
- Zinc helps protect cells from oxidative stress.
- Selenium helps protect cells from oxidative stress.
A health claim for lutein is not possible because there is currently only one unauthorized health claim: Lutein, together with zeaxanthin, helps maintain the clarity and contrast of vision in bright light conditions.
Eye training for good vision
In addition to diet and supplements, special eye exercises can also help improve vision and relax the eyes. Studies have shown that regular eye relaxation exercises can relax the eye muscles and improve blood circulation, which helps relieve eye strain.
Long periods of focusing on close objects (eg screens) put one-sided strain on the eye and can lead to dry eyes, headaches, tired eyes and other problems (office eye syndrome). 1 The lens is working at peak performance because it is constantly busy focusing at close range. In the long term, this can even lead to short-sightedness.
It helps to keep looking into the distance. This technique is easy to remember with the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at an object that is at least 20 feet (about 6 meters) away for 20 seconds.
Eye exercises can help relax the eye muscles and improve vision. Another simple exercise is to slowly move your eyes back and forth without moving your head.
