AOA Instruct Optometrists to Learn Nutritions and Supplements for Eye Health
The message that good nutrition and supplement intake can support eye health will now be part of professional development for optometrists through American Optometric Association (AOA) instruction forums.
Optometrists provide more than two-thirds of all primary eye care in the United States, according to the AOA, which represents more than 34,000 doctors of optometry, optometry students and paraoptometric assistants and technicians. Therefore educating them regarding supplement intake would be highly beneficial for the society.
The educational outreach program good nutritions and supplements will be available throughout the US for member eye doctors and their patients.
The AOA's Low Vision Rehabilitation Section (LVRS) will conduct professional development courses called Low Vision University, sponsored by Kemin Health. One key module will involve approaches to reducing the risk of chronic disease such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) through nutritional regimens.
