Ophthalmologist Fernando Llovet, who is co-founder of Clínica Baviera, has pointed out that the lack of certain vitamins can induce complications in ocular health. In particular, he emphasized the importance of vitamins A, B2, B6, B12, C, and E, as they have a close relationship with visual acuity. Llovet stressed the need to maintain a balanced diet that provides these essential nutrients.
In his statements, Llovet emphasized that the aforementioned vitamins play a fundamental role in eye health and that their deficiency can have a negative impact on vision. Additionally, he highlighted that vitamin A, for example, is key for dark adaptation and color perception, while vitamin E acts as an antioxidant, protecting ocular cells from potential damage.
"It is crucial not to underestimate the importance of these vitamins for maintaining good visual health," said Llovet. He reiterated the necessity of including foods rich in these vitamins in the daily diet or, if necessary, resorting to nutritional supplements to ensure adequate intake. In short, prevention through a balanced diet is fundamental to preserving ocular health throughout life.
