- Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant that prevents free radical damage. It is related to vitamin A and has many of the same properties, but it does not become toxic in large doses. Take 10,000 to 25,000 international units of beta-carotene daily.
- The essential fatty acids (EFAs), found in black current seed oil, borage oil, evening primrose oil, and flaxseed oil, are required by every cell in the body. They have been shown to reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling. EFAs also help counteract the hardening effects of cholesterol on cell membranes. Take 500 to 1,000 milligrams of any of these oils twice daily.
- Selenium is an excellent antioxidant that helps prevent free-radical damage throughout the body, including the eyes. While symptoms improve, reduce the dosage to 100 micrograms once daily.
- Vitamin A protects against free-radical damage and is especially important t the eyes. Without sufficient vitamin A, the eyes are more susceptible to infection and ulceration. Take 5,000 international units of vitamin A three times a day for two months. Then reduce to a maintenance dosage of 5,000 international units twice daily.
- Inadequate intake of the B-complex vitamins can result in itching, burning, bloodshot eyes that water excessively. Combined with vitamins C and E, the B-complex vitamins are especially beneficial to the eyes. While symptoms are acute, take a B-complex supplement that supplies 50 milligrams of each of the primary B vitamins twice daily. When symptoms improve, reduce the dosage to 25 milligrams twice daily.
- Vitamin C helps to prevent and clear up infections. It also helps strengthen capillaries, maintains collagen, and prevents tissue hemorrhaging, and is notable for speeding healing. Select a vitamin-C formula that includes bioflavonoids, especially rutin; these nutrients work best together. While symptoms are acute, take 1,000 to 3,000 milligrams of a vitamin-C complex three times daily. When symptoms improve, reduce the dosage to 500 to 1,000 milligrams three times daily.
- Vitamin E is an antioxidant and is essential in cellular respiration. Choose a product containing mixed tocopherols and start by taking 200 international units daily, then gradually increase the dosage until you are taking 400 international units twice a day. Maintain that dose as long as symptoms are acute, then cut back to 200 international units twice daily.
- Zinc supports the immune system and aids in the healing process. While symptoms are acute, take 25 to 50 milligrams of zinc daily. When symptoms improve, reduce the dosage to 15 to 20 milligrams daily.
