Dry EyesUpdated 25 days ago
Supporting Eye Wellness with Nutrient-Rich Foods
Dry eyes can be caused by a variety of factors, including environmental conditions, screen time, and overall lifestyle. In some cases, nutritional imbalances may play a role. While nutrition alone is not a treatment for eye concerns, certain vitamins and minerals are recognized for their general role in supporting eye function.
If you’re experiencing ongoing eye discomfort, it’s important to consult a qualified healthcare professional to determine the cause and receive appropriate care.
Below are some nutrients commonly associated with overall eye wellness:
🥕 Vitamin A
Vitamin A is essential for maintaining healthy surface tissues, including the eyes. It naturally occurs in foods like carrots, spinach, and sweet potatoes.
Product connection: While we don’t currently offer a stand-alone Vitamin A supplement, a nutrient-rich diet complemented by plant oils such as Perfect Press Sea Buckthorn Oil, which contains a wide range of naturally occurring carotenoids, can be part of a balanced routine.
🌰 Zinc
Zinc supports many essential bodily functions and is found in high amounts in the eyes.
Product connection: Our Perfect Press Black Sesame Oil and Perfect Press Styrian Pumpkin Oil naturally contain trace amounts of zinc and are often used as part of daily wellness routines.
🌿 Zeaxanthin & Lutein
These carotenoids are concentrated in the retina and are known for their role in filtering high-energy light. They are found in leafy greens, corn, and yellow/orange fruits and vegetables.
Product connection: Perfect Press Styrian Pumpkin Oil contains naturally occurring carotenoids like zeaxanthin and lutein, along with other beneficial compounds.
🌾 Flaxseed Oil (Omega-3)
Plant-based omega-3 fatty acids found in flaxseed oil are often included in wellness routines for their broad health benefits.
Product connection: Perfect Press Flax Oil is a rich, cold-pressed source of ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), a plant-based omega-3.
🟠 Vitamin E
Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant, helping to support cells throughout the body.
Product connection: Perfect Press Sea Buckthorn Oil is naturally high in Vitamin E and is often chosen for its broad nutritional profile.
🌊 Marine Phytoplankton
Phytoplankton is a microalgae packed with trace minerals, enzymes, and antioxidants.
Product connection: Oceans Alive contains marine phytoplankton and is used as a source of naturally occurring micronutrients and whole-food nourishment.
A Balanced Approach
While nutritional products can complement a healthy lifestyle, they are not intended to treat or cure any condition. Eye health is complex and personal—so we always recommend speaking to a healthcare provider for personalized support.
