Visio-Max offers one-month trial

Nutrition and the eye is constantly in the news and there is a growing body of evidence linking certain vitamins and antioxidants to improved protection against cataract and age-related macular degeneration (AMD).Wassen, a supplier of vitamin supplements, has developed a product called ÔVisio-MaxÕ which has been formulated to provide some of the elements, vitamins and substances which have been linked to good eye health. Wassen had noted an increase in the number of optical practices contacting its nutritional adviser and decided to give them the opportunity to try the products for themselves.Although the exact causes of cataract and AMD are still a subject for discussion and research, oxidative damage is an important factor in eye health. Visio-Max contains beta-carotene, vitamins B1, B2, B6, C and E and selenium which are claimed to provide an antioxidant screen against free radical damage.It is not always possible to ensure patients make the necessary dietary changes to improve their intake of all the right nutrients needed and many patients are beginning to look at supplements. u Wassen, which makes Visio-Max, has offered a monthÕs supply of Visio-Max to the first 250 optician readers who contact them at: Optician Wassen Visio-Max Offer, PO Box 71, Leatherhead, Surrey, KT22 7DP.
