As you know, many processes that occur in the human body are impossible without the participation of various vitamins, which are catalysts or mediators in multiple biochemical reactions at the cellular level. Everyone knows that with a lack of vitamins from the outside or with insufficient formation of them, our body begins to experience an acute shortage of vitamins, which is manifested by various clinical symptoms. So, for example, with a lack of vitamin C, there is a well-known disease of sailors - scurvy, which manifests itself as bleeding gums and loss of healthy teeth. All organs and systems, without exception, need vitamins, including the eyes. A healthy person usually needs the following eye vitamins: B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B6 (attachedoxin), C (ascorbic acid), A (retinol), E (tocopherol), and some vitamin-like substances, for example, lutein.
Almost all of these vitamins we can get from certain foods, if you consume them in the required amount. But, in the modern world, the rhythm of life is such that sometimes we just do not have time, and sometimes we even forget to eat in principle, not to mention a healthy, balanced, enriched with vitamins, nutrition. As a result, in recent years a huge number of preparations containing vitamins for the eyes have appeared on the pharmaceutical market. They are presented as capsules or as vitamins for the eyes in the form of drops.
