Do you know that your children's vision is extremely important in their learning process and that poor vision may affect their academic performance negatively? When children are unable to see properly, they easily lose focus and interest in learning and are often found to skip lines and words while reading. In fact, according to the American Optometric Association, over 94% of children with reading problems have reduced visual abilities. Another article featured in Time Magazine stresses how vision problems often cause frustration, hyperactivity and lack of motivation in children. So, if your children appear sleepy whenever they read, or have difficulty sitting still, it may not be a sign of laziness. Poor vision may be the culprit behing these problems! |

Bilberry
fruit
Studies have revealed that Bilberry fruit significantly enhances our ability to adjust to glare as well as darkness. Bilberry fruit strengthens the capillaries that feed the eye muscles and nerves, thus, improving blood circulation. Subsequently, this improves the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the eyes for sound nutritional support. |
| Marigold
flower Lutein, or "natural sunglasses", protects the eyes from radiation damage by filtering out UV rays (from the sun and fluorescent lamps) and blue light, which is the most damaginh form of light. Together, Lutein and Zeaxanthin form a super antioxidant team to effectively quench free radicals and reduce oxidative damage to the eyes. Dark green leafy vegetables, such as spinach, are a primary source of Lutein and Zeaxanthin. However, coaxing your little ones to eat these green vegetables may be a challenge. Marigold flower's content of Lutein and Zeaxanthin surpasses that of any green vegetables. |
