The effects of blue light
We’re using digital devices more than ever before, exposing our eyes to high energy blue light from these devices for hours a day, which may impact our eyes over time.
Ocuvite Blue Light is specifically formulated with high levels of vital eye nutrients to help nourish your eyes. With 25 mg of Lutein and 5 mg of Zeaxanthin Isomers, this formula works to support the macular pigment that helps filter blue light.
The effect of stressors on our eyes
Nourishing your eyes has never been more important. Even though daily eye stressors are a major factor in our busy lives, we may not realize the impact they have to our eye health. Working on the computer for hours, driving long distances, sunlight exposure and reading without pausing can cause eye fatigue and may impact our eye health over time.
With Ocuvite Eye Performance you get 7 protective nutrients vital for today’s eyes. When compared to Ocuvite 50+, this formula contains higher levels of key nutrients including Lutein, Zeaxanthin, and Vitamin D, an antioxidant to help prevent inflammation.
Eye nutrition for today
When it comes to your wellness, you may be overlooking your eyes…
Between blue light from digital screens, stronger sunlight and today’s always on world – eyes today are stressed! Watch our TV commercial to learn more.

The Doctor is In
- Bausch + Lomb: What’s the most important thing you tell patients about taking good care of their eyes?
- Dr. Gerson: It’s really no different than taking care of the rest of your body: maintain a good diet and healthy habits like exercise, and you go a long way toward nourishing your eyes.
- Bausch + Lomb: What do you tell patients about the best foods to eat for healthy eyes?
- Dr. Gerson: A “colorful” diet is the best. Go for variety and add lots of fruits and veggies. Many people think carrots are best for your eyes. Spinach is actually better—it has more of the lutein and zeaxanthin that your eyes need. But carrots are still better than french fries. Food is the best way to get the right nutrients, but most people won’t get all they need. That’s why a supplement is a good idea.
- Bausch + Lomb: My vision will naturally decline when I’m in my 70s and 80s, right?
- Dr. Gerson: Age is not an excuse for poor vision. If you’re having an issue seeing, there’s probably a reason other than age. Keeping your eyes nourished with the right nutrients and practicing good habits can help.
- Bausch + Lomb: Any other eye care tips?
- Dr. Gerson: If you wear glasses, get multiple pairs! Scratched lenses really affect your vision. After all, you wouldn’t own just one pair of shoes.

“Lutein and Zeaxanthin are key nutrients that support eye health. Other nutrients are good for your eyes too: Vitamin C is helpful in conjunction with the other vitamins. Zinc helps with healthy immune function and general eye support.”

Good Habits:20-20-20 Rule
As you age, your eyes can lose vital nutrients like Lutein and Zeaxanthin, which are crucial for supporting a healthy macula. You can’t stop aging—but you can start simple habits that help care for your eyes through your 40s, 50s and beyond.
Step 1: 20 MinutesFor every 20 minutes of screen time or paperwork, give your eyes a rest.
Step 2: 20 FeetStare at something at least 20 feet away.
Step 3: 20 SecondsStare at least 20 seconds to engage your distance vision and ease eye strain.
15 minutes with your eye doctor can make a real difference
Even if you think your vision is fine, make an annual eye care appointment. Your eyes may offer clues to other health conditions, like diabetes and vascular health. Your doctor can also discuss your diet and lifestyle, and address small complaints before they turn into larger vision problems.
