The following list is in alphabetical order and not in any order of importance...

Essential Nutrient #1:  Alpha-Lipoic Acid

2006 may as well have been the "Year of the Antioxidant." The latest research has discovered these substances, which prevent or impede cell oxidation (destruction) by free radicals, in everything from red wine to blueberries to chocolate - and now, red meat.

Red meat is the richest food source of alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), which has been called the "universal," "ideal," and "ultimate" antioxidant. According to the UC Berkeley Wellness Letter, "What makes ALA special as an antioxidant is its versatility - it helps deactivate an unusually wide array of cell-damaging free radicals in many bodily systems."

ALA also helps "recycle" vitamins C and E and other antioxidants, thus making them much more effective.

ALA is thought to be a powerful weapon in the fight against the oxidative stress we encounter as we age. The incidence of eye problems such as macular degeneration, cataracts and pterygium (a fleshy growth on the cornea that can impede vision) increase dramatically as we age due to free-radical damage from factors such as smoking, poor nutrition, and exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light.

Essential Nutrients #2 & #3: 
Bilberry and Bioflavonoids

Bilberry is thought to improve night vision. A close relative of the cranberry, bilberry is high in a certain type of bioflavonoid that speeds the regeneration of rhodopsin, the purple pigment used by the eyes' rods. British air force pilots in World War II ate bilberry jam to improve their night vision during evening sorties.

Bilberry fruits, found in the forest meadows of Europe, western Asia, and the northern Rocky Mountains, contain flavonoid compounds called anthocyanidins.

Flavonoids are plant pigments that have excellent antioxidant properties; they have been shown to help prevent a number of long-term illnesses such as heart disease, cancer, and macular degeneration, the leading cause of vision loss and legal blindness in Americans age 65 and older, according to the eye-health organization Prevent Blindness America.

Essential Nutrient #4: Chromium

Dr. Benjamin C. Lane, O.D., from the Nutritional Optometry Institute in New Jersey, says, “Americans are getting less chromium and much more of its major antagonist, vanadium (a trace element) because of recent dietary trends to large marine fish and poultry.”

In numerous tissue testing and diet assessment studies that Dr. Lane has performed over the past twenty years he has found that “low levels of chromium are a major risk factor for increased intraocular pressure.” Chromium plays a large role in muscle contraction which is why this occurs when deficiencies are present.

And yet another negative effect of near-point activities like computer use, Dr. Lane reports that “the set of muscles we use more than ever before, are those that help focus our eyes.” He has conducted several studies that have shown that straining to focus over a period of time, does in fact increase intraocular pressure. But with proper amounts of chromium in your diet, focusing may be easier and less stressful to your eyes.

The body does not make chromium naturally, so it must be obtained through your diet. The best sources of chromium are beef, liver, eggs, chicken, oysters, wheat germ, green peppers, apples, bananas, and spinach.

Essential Nutrient #5:  Copper Gluconate

Copper is an essential trace element that is required for the proper formation of collagen, a component of the connective tissues. It is found in various foods, including organ meats (especially liver), seafood, beans, nuts, and whole grains.

Copper gluconate, a readily absorbable form of copper, is one of the most important blood antioxidants, helping to keep cell membranes healthy and aiding red blood cells to produce hemoglobin.

Since the function of the blood is to carry oxygen and other nutrients, poor circulation causes decreased oxygen delivery - and subsequent damage - to tissues in different parts of the body; some of the most sensitive tissues to decreased blood flow and oxygen delivery include the brain, the heart, the kidneys, and the eyes. Over time, vision loss can occur.

Essential Nutrient #6:  Eyebright

Eyebright has been used for centuries to treat eye irritation. Its Greek name, Euphrasia, comes from Euphrosyne, one of the three Graces, who was distinguished for her joy and mirth. The name is thought to have been given the plant because of its valuable properties as an eye medicine that preserved eyesight and so brought gladness into the life of the sufferer.

Eyebright is an antioxidant herb. Its antibiotic and astringent properties tighten membranes and mucus surrounding the eyes, effectively strengthening and improving circulation. Rich in vitamins A and C, eyebright also contains tannins that are beneficial for reducing inflammation.

Essential Nutrient #7:  Ginkgo Biloba

The ginkgo is the oldest living tree species, growing on earth for 150-200 million years. No surprise, then, that it's one of the most well-researched herbs in the world. Studies have confirmed that ginkgo, a powerful antioxidant:

• Increases blood flow to the retina.
• Can slow retinal deterioration which results in an
  increase of visual acuity.

Retinal damage has a number of potential causes, including diabetes and macular degeneration. Studies suggest that gingko may help preserve vision in those with macular degeneration.

Essential Nutrient #8:  Glutathione

Glutathione is an amino acid that protects the tissues surrounding the lens of the eyes. According to Web MD, "It also has potentially widespread health benefits because it can be found in all types of cells, including the cells of the immune system, whose job is to fight disease."

Numerous studies link glutathione with the prevention of cataracts, glaucoma, retinal disease, and diabetic blindness. Foods that increase glutathione levels include sulfur-rich foods such as garlic, eggs, asparagus, and onions, and glutathione-rich foods such as watermelon, asparagus, and grapefruits.

Essential Nutrient #9: Lutein (containing Zeaxanthin)

Lutein, found in our retinas, is essential for healthy vision. Lutein and a related dietary carotenoid, zeaxanthin (see entry below), accumulate within the retina and imbue a yellow pigment that helps protect the eye.

It lowers the risk of cataracts and macular degeneration (low lutein intake is implicated as a risk factor in age-related macular degeneration), and may also help to prevent or slow down atherosclerosis.

Lutein is found in the red, orange, and yellow pigments of fruits and vegetables; for example, tomatoes, carrots, and squash. Green leafy vegetables such as spinach also contain high amounts of lutein.

Clinical research has determined that lutein along with zeaxanthin are two naturally occurring carotenoids present in the macular segment of the retina.

The concentration of these two is so high in the macula (the retinal region responsible for fine visual activities), that the carotenoids are visible as a dark yellow spot, called the macular pigment, in normal, healthy retinas. They act like sunglass filters to protect the eye.

Research performed at Harvard Medical School has established that dietary zeaxanthin plays an essential role in protecting the retina of the eye from the damaging effects of light.

Epidemiologic studies have shown that people with higher lutein/zeaxanthin levels have reduced risk for advanced stages of macular degeneration.

Blue-eyed individuals need more lutein and zeaxanthin because they have less of these protective pigments in their retinas. Again, dark, leafy greens are the dietary winner here, along with corn, nectarines, oranges, papaya and squash.

Essential Nutrient #10:  N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC)

NAC is an amino acid similar in structure to cysteine, a building block of proteins. In our body, NAC helps stimulate the production of antioxidants by replenishing the body's levels of glutathione (see entry above).

NAC is thought to both stave off disease and play an important role in boosting the immune system.

Essential Nutrient #11:  Quercetin

Quercetin is a powerful antioxidant, as well as a natural antihistamine and anti-inflammatory. It is a citrus bioflavonoid, a natural substance that helps protect capillaries, prevent bruising, and intensify the effect of vitamin C in the body - in fact, bioflavonoids are essential for total vitamin C effectiveness.

In a study of adults with symptoms of macular degeneration, moderate red wine consumption (a source of quercetin) offered some protection against the development and progression of the disease.

Dark berries, such as blueberries, blackberries, and cherries, are also high in flavonoids. Animal studies suggest that quercetin inhibits the activity of compounds that contribute to the development of cataracts.

Essential Nutrient #12:  Rutin

Another bioflavonoid, rutin, is found in many plants, especially the buckwheat plant, the flour of which is used to make pancakes. Other rich dietary sources of rutin include black and green tea, and citrus fruits.

Rutin is considered to be an important nutritional supplement because of its ability to strengthen capillaries. The American Journal of Ophthalmology notes that rutin has been used with success to treat retinopathy in preliminary research.

Essential Nutrient #13:  Selenium

Selenium is a trace mineral that our bodies need to boost immunity and fight off infections. It can also help prevent cataracts and macular degeneration by acting as an antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals that can damage the eye's lens and macula; studies have identified low selenium levels in cataract sufferers.

Selenium also helps your body to absorb vitamin E. Fish, shellfish, red meat, grains, eggs, chicken, liver, and garlic are all good sources of selenium, as well as brewer's yeast and wheat germ.

Essential Nutrient #14:  Vitamin A

Known as the ultimate eye vitamin, Vitamin A is absolutely essential for eye and vision health. In our bodies, vitamin A is required by the retina for its proper functions - in fact, one of the two sources of dietary vitamin A goes by the name "retinoids."

The other source is carotenoids, obtained from fruits and vegetables containing yellow, orange, and dark green pigments, including that old standby, beta-carotene. When Mom told you to eat your carrots for good vision, she wasn't kidding!

Vitamin A is necessary for the production of rhodopsin, the visual pigment used in low light levels. One of the causes of night blindness is vitamin A deficiency; supplements of that vitamin are often recommended for those with poor night vision, along with a diet emphasizing Vitamin A-rich foods, such as sweet potatoes, carrots, mangoes, spinach, and cantaloupe.

Vitamin A also helps:

• Your eyes adjust to light changes
  
  
• Moistens the eyes, which can enhance visual acuity
  
  
• It has been shown to prevent the forming of cataracts
  
  
• It has been shown to help prevent blindness from macular degeneration.

Essential Nutrient #15:  Vitamin C

Vitamin C's importance as an antioxidant cannot be overstated. The Web site All About Vision even calls this eye vitamin the "Vision Superhero"!

Vitamin C has been linked to the prevention of cataracts - one study has shown that taking 300 to 600 mg supplemental vitamin C reduced cataract risk by 70 percent - the delay of macular degeneration, and eye pressure reduction in glaucoma patients.

It's an interesting fact that, while most animals produce their own vitamin C, we humans do not have that ability. In addition, we can't store this vitamin in our bodies for very long, so it needs to be constantly replenished to obtain its benefits.

Most of us think of orange juice as the quintessential source of vitamin C, but many vegetables are actually even richer sources: chili peppers, sweet peppers, kale, parsley, collard, and turnip greens are full of vitamin C, as are broccoli, Brussels sprouts, watercress, cauliflower, cabbage, and strawberries.

Essential Nutrient #16:  Vitamin E

Because of its antioxidant action, vitamin E helps protect against cataracts and age-related macular degeneration. A clinical study has showed that taking vitamin E can cut the risk of developing cataracts in half. Another study also showed that the combination of vitamins C and E had a protective effect against UV rays.

Symptoms of vitamin E deficiency include muscle weakness, loss of muscle mass, abnormal eye movements, and impaired vision.

Uveitis, an inflammation of the middle layer (uvea) of the eye, is another disorder for which the antioxidant vitamins C and E may be helpful. The uvea contains many of the blood vessels that nourish the eye; inflammation of this area can affect the cornea, the retina, the sclera, and other important parts of the eye.

The richest source of vitamin E is wheat germ. Dark green leafy vegetables (such as spinach, kale, and collard greens), sweet potatoes, avocado, asparagus, and yams are also good sources of vitamin E.

Essential Nutrient #17:  Zinc

Our eyes actually contain the greatest concentration of zinc in our body. This essential element is required for the conversion of beta-carotene into vitamin A. Oysters contain more zinc per serving than any other food, but red meat and poultry provide the majority of zinc in the American diet.

“I have a folder titled "My Eyes" that I started putting all the receipts and prescriptions for my glasses into beginning in 1989. This morning I went in to see Dr. Reynolds (I have only been seeing him for about 2 years now) and I told him how I wanted him to go through the records and see if Ocu-plus is helping my vision.

I then described Ocu-plus from what I knew and asked him to verify if he could discern improvement in vision from the records. He was a little amused at first, but as he went through all the records his attitude changed. I didn't completely understand all his descriptions and technical words but the gist of it was definitely, whatever you were taking has helped, especially in the last year.”

Maryclare Hall, Edmonton, CA

"I started the formula at the time I had my lasik surgery a year ago. My goal is to stabilize and maintain good vision. My surgery was in January 2007 and my one-year check-up was a good one. I have confidence knowing that I am doing something good for my vision by taking the Ocu-Plus formula."

Britt Brandt, Greenville, S.C.

Chuck Anderson, Olympia, WA

“Low and behold, I was diagnosed with glaucoma in my right eye. I was shocked. I was really glad that I had made the decision to order the Ocu-Plus Formula. In the meantime, my optometrist made an appointment with an eye physician and surgeon for me. The appointment took place in March 2007--three months from my original diagnosis. As soon as my Formula arrived, I started taking it along with making a few dietary changes.

The day of my appointment finally arrived and I went thru a battery of tests. The diagnosis was that I was boarder line glaucoma in my right eye and my left eye was perfect. Apparently, I had also had a hemmorage in my right eye and that was all cleared up. She decided that since I was only boarder line, that she would see me again in 6 months and do the tests again so that we can keep a close eye on it.

So the bottom line is that the Ocu-Plus Formula had improved my condition. Needless to say that I will continue to take this formula and I'm anxious to see the results of my tests in September. Thanks again for a great product.

I went back to the doctor in September and I went thru the same battery of tests. My doctor told me she was impressed with the results.  My pressure is actually normal and has kept very stable since my first check up with her in April, 2007. 

It is now, August, 2008 and I no longer have the eye pain that I had when first diagnosed. The last time I was there, which was March 2008, she told me that I did not need to come back until March 2009.  That's very good results.  I’m very happy. Ocu-Plus has been part of my daily supplement routine for one and a half years and will continue to be part of my supplement routine.  Thanks for a great product at a reasonable price.”

Jo Anne Richer, Toronto, ON

"Within a few days of taking the Ocu-Plus Formula my eyes felt better. I don't have Glaucoma, but do have high pressure in the both eyes. I can feel they are more comfortable. I used to not be able to be on the computer for very long, but now I am fine. My eyes also look very shiny and feel healthy. They don't feel tired and sore now.

I went back to my doctor after I began taking Ocu-Plus and he said my eye pressure was down. I was so over the moon I can hardly remember the rest of my visit! I'm telling lots of people about them."

Sue Barker, Herts, GB

"I am a QA analyst and my job requires me to work on computers 7.5 hours a day. Last November, I was having blurry vision, headache and dizziness for days, so I decided to go to an optometrist after work. I was thinking that maybe he would only prescribe glasses, but I was shocked to find out that I have glaucoma. He said that the back of my eye was three times larger than normal and that my eyes were overstrained. He prescribed the use of reading glasses whenever I work on the computer.

I could not readily go to a specialist as it takes months to get an appointment. I was feeling really frustrated, so I tried to find a remedy that I think would alleviate my condition. Luckily, I discovered Ocu-Plus Formula and decided to give it a try.

I started taking Ocu-Plus only last December 14th upon receipt of my first bottle. After that, I noticed that my condition started to improve. My eyes don't look and feel 100% normal anymore, but in such a short period of time, the symptoms have considerably lessened. I feel a great deal of improvement compared to when I first learned that I have glaucoma. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Orlin Sorensen for sharing this great product, the Ocu-Plus Formula."

Perla Casundo, North York, CA

"The Ocu-Plus formula has really helped me a lot.  My eyes are not as strained and my nighttime vision is definitely better.  I really enjoy that you send the product with a feature about a specific ingredient in it with each shipment. Thank you!"
 
Kimberly Konzack, Williston Park, NY

"My sister has been taking your vitamins and doing the eye exercises for over a year.  She gave me a couple of bottles of your vitamins and I took them every day for about 4 months.  When I went for semi-annual eye exam at the optometrist 2 weeks ago, he said my vision has improved since my last visit!!! ~ WOW!!!!  Makes me a believer in the vitamins now and so I will be joining the list of millions who are subscribing to your vitamins & wonderful newsletters.  Thanks a million!!!"

Patricia Collette-Jordan, Palmdale, CA

"I went to the doctor and was told that the pressure was up in my eyes and that I had growing cataracts. I started taking "Ocu-Plus Formula" and my eyes have improved beyond compare in less than a month. My left eye was near-sighted, and my right eye was far sighted.

I paid $551.00 for new eye glasses at the time of the examination, and had to return them last week because they were too strong for my eyes.

My eyes are white, clear and sparkling at 62 years old, and I went to church and could read the small print from the church bulletin. I can't get over the fact that I had to change the eye glasses because they were too strong. I'm looking at TV with no glasses on.

I'm so happy that I found The Rebuild Your Vision. I have told every one of my clients about your website. Thank you very much."

Jane Green, Washington D.C.

“I am 73 years old. I was found to have right eye pressure of 35 on a routine checkup and was sent to specialist. After three months I finally got to see the specialist who confirmed it was glaucoma and the reading was still the same. 27 on the left eye and 35 on the right eye. Then I looked up on the internet and found you and I ordered the Ocu-Plus Formula. In one month's time my pressure dropped to 20 on left and 22 on right! That is really good.”

Margot Costenoble, Rochedale, Australia
