Nutritional Optometry

More so now than ever before, optometrists and other health professionals are advising on diet and lifestyle to improve eye health. With an ageing population, the myopia epidemic and poorer health through systemic conditions like heart disease and diabetes, optometrists need to know about how to improve diet and lifestyle.

This service will provide to members current research on all eye diseases and practical information to learn and share with patients. Modification of lifestyle, diet and nutritional supplementation can assist in eye disease stabilisation, improvement and its prevention. Assisting systemic disease can have a large impact on eye health also.
