Targeted nutrition for healthy vision & whole-body wellness.
A curated selection of professional-grade supplements with established science behind eye health — from AREDS2-formula vision support to omega-3s that help with dry eye and tear production. Recommended by Dr. Andrew Lu and supplied through nutraMetrix.
The right nutrients support healthy aging eyes.
Decades of research — including the landmark AREDS and AREDS2 studies sponsored by the National Eye Institute — have shown that specific vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants play a meaningful role in maintaining macular density, protecting the retina, and supporting healthy long-term vision.
A balanced diet is always our first recommendation. But for many patients — especially adults over 50, people with strong family histories of macular degeneration, those with screen-heavy lifestyles, or anyone managing chronic dry eye — high-quality supplementation can help fill nutritional gaps that diet alone may not cover.
The products below are ones I trust enough to use myself and recommend to family. All are professional-grade, sourced through nutraMetrix, and chosen for their purity, bioavailability, and the strength of the science behind them.
Backed by clinical research
Every product is formulated around published, peer-reviewed nutritional science — not trends or proprietary blends with hidden ingredients.
Tested for purity & safety
Independent third-party verification for heavy metals, contaminants, and potency. Fish oil sources are small, low-toxin fish only.
Isotonix® rapid absorption
Many formulations use Isotonix delivery — liquid solutions matched to your body's natural fluid pressure for fast, efficient absorption.
Four products I recommend most often.
These four cover the foundational ground for supporting healthy vision — and meaningful health beyond the eyes. Tap "View on Dr. Lu's Store" to read full details, ingredients, and dosing on nutraMetrix.
nutraMetrix® Prime™ Vision Eye Health Formula
AREDS2-aligned formulation with FloraGLO® lutein and zeaxanthin.
This is the one I recommend to almost every patient over 50 — and earlier if there's a family history of macular degeneration. The formula matches the lutein and zeaxanthin levels used in the landmark AREDS2 study, the most comprehensive clinical investigation we have on nutritional support for aging eyes.
- Supports healthy macular density and central vision
- Helps protect the retina from blue-light and UV stress
- Supports healthy aging of the eyes
- Contains key antioxidants from the AREDS and AREDS2 studies
nutraMetrix® Heart Health™ Essential Omega III Fish Oil with Vitamin E
High-purity EPA and DHA omega-3s from small, low-toxin fish (sardines and anchovies).
If you struggle with dry, irritated, or tired eyes — especially after screen time — omega-3s are one of the most well-supported nutritional interventions available. DHA in particular is a core building block of the retina, and clinical research links omega-3 supplementation to improvements in tear film quality and ocular lubrication.
- Promotes healthy lubrication of the eye
- Promotes normal tear production and volume
- Helps promote healthy blood flow to the eye
- Tested for heavy metals, PCBs, and contaminants
nutraMetrix® Isotonix® OPC-3®
Comprehensive antioxidant blend with bilberry, grape seed, red wine, pine bark extract, and Pycnogenol®.
The eye is one of the most metabolically active tissues in the body — and one of the most exposed to oxidative stress from light, screens, and aging. OPC-3 delivers a broad-spectrum antioxidant profile in an isotonic form for fast absorption. Bilberry in particular has a long history in eye health for supporting microcirculation in the retina.
- Helps support visual health and visual acuity
- Powerful broad-spectrum antioxidant protection
- Combats free radical damage from light and screens
- Contains the only isotonic form of Pycnogenol® available
nutraMetrix® Isotonix® Multivitamin
A complete daily foundation — 100% or more of the daily value of essential vitamins and minerals.
Before any targeted supplement, I want patients to have a solid baseline. The Isotonix Multivitamin covers the essentials in highly bioavailable forms — including zinc, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, and B vitamins, all of which contribute to general health and have known roles in supporting eye function and the retina.
- Comprehensive daily vitamin & mineral foundation
- Includes nutrients essential for eye health (A, C, E, zinc)
- Isotonic delivery for rapid, efficient absorption
- Supports immune function, energy, and overall wellness
Not sure which is right for you?
Every patient is different. Your medical history, current medications, family eye health, and lifestyle all factor into what's appropriate. The four products above are great starting points — but if you'd like a personalized recommendation, the best thing to do is bring it up at your next eye exam. We'll take the time to talk through what makes sense for you.
You'll also find a much broader catalog on the full store — for whole-body wellness, joint health, sleep, immunity, and more.
