Five of the best... vision boosters
In clinical trials, antioxidant vitamins and other nutrients found in certain foods have been linked with eye health. They help to maintain healthy cells and tissues in the eye. However, studies have shown it is hard to obtain the high levels needed of many of these nutrients from diet. Fortunately, there are numerous eye-health supplements on the market. Here are five options that may help boost your vision.

30 capsules, £7.49
Contains lutein, a chemical known as a carotenoid found in dark leafy green vegetables such as spinach, which clinical studies suggest play a role in maintaining central vision. Also contains Vitamins C, and E, and zinc.
