A Pill That Helps Your Vision

Want to prevent a blind spot from appearing in your central vision?

Make sure you get enough B vitamins. Research shows that getting the right amount of B vitamins may help prevent macular degeneration -- one of the most common causes of blindness that often manifests as central-vision loss.

How to Get Your B’s Yep a recent 7-year study of women over 40 seems to confirm it. A B-vitamin combo pill taken daily helped to reduce age-related macular degeneration -- as much as a 35–40 percent risk decrease in women whose combo pills contained folic acid B6 and B12. Researchers suspect the B’s may lower levels of eye-vessel-inflaming homocysteine.
