Book Review: Eyefoods: The Complete Eye Health & Nutrition Guide by Laurie Capogna, OD

Optometrist Laurie Capogna has found a niche in the ever-expanding field of health plans: foods that promote eye health referred to as ‘Eyefoods.’ After patients asked how they could change their lifestyle to support their eye wellbeing, she decided to integrate her 20 years of practice with scientific research to create a recipe book of food to feed the eyes. Harnessing support from Dr Barbara Pelletier, the two have gone on a mission to provide a dietary scheme geared towards promoting eye health known as the ‘Eyefoods Plan.’

She credits the creation of the Plan to her patients explaining: ‘their curiosity and motivation to make better everyday choices for their eye health inspire me daily to continue learning about the field of ocular nutrition.’ She hopes to spread this knowledge so that her readers can also support their eye health through her food innovations.
