Which nutrients actually have an approved claim for vision?
Vitamin A, riboflavin and zinc contribute to the maintenance of normal vision, and DHA does so at 250mg a day. Lutein, zeaxanthin, bilberry, eyebright and astaxanthin carry no authorised claim in the UK.
What is the difference between MacuShield and Macusave?
Both are lutein and zeaxanthin formulas that also include meso-zeaxanthin. They differ in dose, capsule format and price – Macusave starts at £14.99 for 30, MacuShield's 90s run to £45.99. Compare the amounts per capsule rather than the price per bottle.
Can I take an eye supplement alongside my multivitamin?
Usually, but check the vitamin A and zinc totals across both. Those two are the ones that add up in a way that matters, and several eye formulas already contain them.
Is vitamin A safe in pregnancy?
Retinol-form vitamin A is not recommended in pregnancy. Speak to your GP or midwife before taking any vitamin A product if you are pregnant or trying to conceive.
Do the eye drops need a prescription?
No, the drops we stock are available over the counter. If symptoms persist or worsen, see an optometrist rather than continuing to use them.
