You may have noticed changes in your vision as you’ve moved into your 30’s and 40’s. That’s pretty normal. While updates in glasses prescriptions are a fact of life, there are supplements that can help you keep your peepers healthy, too.

Doctor’s Choice™ Eye Formula† with Lutein
Most likely, you spend at least part of your day working on a computer. It’s not just free-radicals and sunlight that can challenge your healthy vision; the glare of a computer or television screen puts your eyes under stress, too. It may be time to add Doctor’s Choice Eye Formula† to your daily regimen.

If you already take one of our Doctor’s Choice multivitamins, Doctor’s Choice Eye Formula makes the perfect companion - it was specifically created to provide extra nutrients for your eyes that you may not be getting from food alone.† We mention “Lutein” in the name because it is a powerful ingredient, found in plants and related to beta-carotene. In our bodies, lutein is concentrated in our retinas and supports the ability of our eyes to focus images.† 

Bilberry Extract:
Bilberry’s connection to healthy vision support was first studied during World War II for the Royal Air Force. That’s because its natural antioxidant compounds don’t just protect against free radical damage, they actually concentrate their efforts on a pigment in the retina responsible for night vision and making quick adjustments to light and dark.† And, they help strengthen the small blood vessels in the eye as well.† These are pretty important considerations for a combat pilot. Chances are, you won’t face the same strains in the course of your daily routine, but it’s nice to know you can support your healthy vision with this strong, natural supplement.†

Earth’s Promise™ Purple:
Nature has a way of letting you know how nutritious its bounty of fruits and vegetables can be—the color of its natural packaging. Of course, those rich, vibrant colors aren’t just for decoration. They let you know that these are foods bursting with a wide range of vitamins, nutrients and antioxidants that support the immune system, the heart, and healthy vision, too.†

While getting your daily 5 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables is still the best way to support overall health, there are days when you just aren’t able to work them in. If that’s often the case, consider Earth’s Promise Purple.


We’ve taken some of the best nutrients from nature to create Earth’s Promise Purple. This is a delicious supplement with a natural berry-pomegranate flavor. Even the scent when you open the package brings to mind summers long gone by, when you’d mix up pitchers of good-tasting, but not nearly as healthy, fruit-flavored drinks. While there are many ways you can support your vision, few are likely to be as enjoyable.

Clearly superior vision support†
While nobody can slow the passage of time, there are ways to keep healthy overall and support healthy vision. Beyond exercising, eating right, and being cautious about UV exposure, taking care of eyesight can be as simple as adding an extra boost to your supplement regimen.†
