Additional information

The antioxidants zinc and vitamins C and E play a significant role in defending against free radical damage in the macular region of the retina and lens of the eye.

Antioxidants act as ‘free-radical scavengers'. Free radicals are common in the body, arising through a variety of mechanisms.   Many of these free radicals are dealt with by the body's own free radical, antioxidant defences.  Some free radicals, however, escape these defences and cause cellular damage.  Research suggests that accumulation of free radical cellular damage can result in degenerative conditions.

Macu-Vision® is now available without a prescription, as a general sale medicine.
