Description

Critiques the reliance on corrective lenses, noting that they do not address the root of vision problems and often result in progressively stronger prescriptions. Instead, the focus is placed on an under-recognized issue called contrast sensitivity loss—the reduced ability to distinguish subtle shades of gray, particularly in low light. This condition, and poor vision in general, is linked to a deficiency of carotenoid antioxidants in the retina, which normally protect the eyes from blue light damage and oxidative stress. To improve eye health, the recommendation is to increase intake of key carotenoids such as lutein and zeaxanthin through diet and supplementation. Foods like pastured egg yolks are highlighted as rich natural sources. Additional supportive measures include safe sun exposure, using full-spectrum indoor lighting, boosting omega-3 fatty acid and Vitamin D intake, and reducing inflammatory seed oils, all of which can help protect and optimize visual function over time.
