Supplementation should always be under physician. Vitamin A is a fat soluble vitamin, so excessive intake creates toxic effects. In fact same with all fat soluble vitamins. The caution in taking these supplementation is taking them in small periods. Take them for 2 months and take again after 2-3 months. This frequency minimizes the possible toxic effect. Remember body has still got greater capacity to steal vitamins from foods than supplements. Well, Vitamin A does go through the body if a normal vegie meal is taken.

Other than eating carrots and broccoli are there any other ways to make your eyesight better other than Surgery? Does the surgery hurt? So many questions can someone answer them!

Though supplements such as juice plus or similar have much more than just A, so that does help your overall health. And I think that natural vegetables provide a healthier mix of nutrients. Excess consumption of supplements probably warrants a visit to a nutritionist, just to make sure you're getting the right amount of the right content. It's easy to make mistakes.

Yes, vegees are best, but vertain suppliments ARE worth it if they are high quality. The vegitables in the stores are so saturated with chemicals you almost have to use suppliments. Thoughts?

I used to take juice plus (when I could aford it) and it turned my palms orange. Worth it. Hardly a bad trade off (orange skin) if it really does help boost your overall imune system!

I also think that regular exercise helps, indirectly or not. What I like to do during long work hours, is to go outside and walk around for a bit. I suspect that letting my eyes wonder around, focusing on different distances, under different lighting conditions, keeps them in shape. Cheers from Waterloo, Canada! :) Thx for the advice CHESSNOID.

Now, I sit in front of a computer for 10-12 hours a day. I do wear glasses and have them updated every 1-2 years and incorporate a lot of green foods like broccoli, spinach, and zucchini in my diet. I also take a multivitamin supplement to cover anything I may miss from just regular eating. Trust me when I say all these things definitely help. Even though you don't mention it, I think regular exercise helps indirectly in reducing overall fatigue for guys like us who love being in front of the monitor. Anyways, good post.

Very brilliant feeling. But after reading this article I definitely will eat more brocoli and other green vegetables. Thanks for this healthy advice. Greetings from Germany!
