Nutrition plays a vital role in maintaining eye health, yet many patients miss out on essential nutrients. Join us for an evidence-based journey through ocular nutrition, from the tear film to the macula. This interactive session will cover the front and back of the eye, highlight the impact of well-known vitamins and fatty acids as well as modern nutrients in the eyecare space such as Omega-7 & Astaxanthin. The session will provide actionable insights to help eye care practitioners confidently discuss the potential benefits of diet and supplements with patients.

Learning outcomes:

• Practitioners will describe the role of nutrition and specific nutrients in supporting ocular surface and retinal health, and outline the current evidence relating to dietary supplements used in eye care
• Practitioners will recognise potential benefits and limitations of diet and supplementation to patients, supporting informed, evidence-based discussions about ocular nutrition
