The importance of nutrition in the preservation of visual function and the prevention and management of eye diseases

Given that presbyopia progresses with age (at a rate of about +0.1 D per year), it’s likely that the side effects of presbyopia-correcting drops will eventually outweigh the benefits when the medication is no longer sufficient to correct advancing presbyopic vision. Still, pharmacologic pupil constriction does demonstrate at least some benefit early on. Photo: Michael Trottini, OD, and Michael Del
