A member asked:
I have vision problem, so was thinking of taking eye supplements with natural ingredients which are lutein & zeaxanthin zinc, beta carotene,lycop ene, vitamin a, bilberry extract but was wondering can i just take them while breastfeeding or pregnant ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See ophthalmologist: Although lutein and zeaxanthin are scientifically proved to be beneficial in some ocular diseases, not all vision problems are related to these vitamins (found naturally in green leafy vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, and corn). These supplements are not fully recommended during pregnancy/breastfeeding. An ophthalmologist will diagnose the specific problem and establish an adequate treatment.
