Healthy Eyes
Think ICapsÒ
(Advertisement by Alcon)
Icaps, a dietary supplement for eyes, is a specialised formula of
antioxidant vitamins and minerals which are important to vision and eye
health.
ICaps contains the natural antioxidants Lutein and Zeaxanthin, which are
concentrated in the macula (the area of the eye where the incoming rays of
light are focused) and which help to protect the eye by reducing oxidative
stress and absorbing damaging blue light.
Research has shown that these natural carotenoids, found in green, leafy
vegetables such as spinach, broccoli and cabbage may have a positive effect
on the macula and ocular health, particularly in the over 40s.

Many supplements contain 100% RDA (Recommended Daily Amount) of vitamins and
minerals which may be sufficient to avoid deficiency but these levels are
possibly too low to have a positive effect on eye health.
However, ICaps contains high potency antioxidants, vitamins and zinc at
concentrations deliberately set above the RDA to provide maximum benefit.
ICaps is recommended by ophthalmologists, opticians and nutritionists and is
available from opticians and pharmacists.
Eye Health
• Diet - Eating a healthy and balanced diet, including lots of fruit
and vegetables will help keep our eyes healthy. However, positive measures
to promote eye health include eating five portions of green vegetables a day
– a quantity which is difficult to achieve! ICaps is equivalent to four
portions of fruit and vegetables per day and can help bridge the gap caused
by dietary deficiency. • Eye Checks
• Have regular check ups with an optician - everyone is at risk of
eyesight problems whatever their age. By visiting the optician
regularly, eye conditions can be found early on.
• Between 50 and 75 years of age, you should have an eye check at
least every two years.
• Contact Lenses
• Never sleep with your contact lenses still in your eyes unless your
optician or ophthalmologist advises that it is acceptable. • Always
look after your contact lenses as detailed by your optician or
ophthalmologist.
• Sunglasses – Always wear UV protected sunglasses when you’re in
direct sunlight to avoid potential UV damage.
