Natural Eye Care with Dr. Marc Grossman, Holistic Optometrist

Vision declines quietly, long before most of us notice it. We pull back the curtain on two daily supplements—resveratrol and ubiquinol—that work at the cellular level to protect the retina, optic nerve, and lens while supporting heart health and longevity. Drawing on decades of integrative eye care, we explain how resveratrol’s antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective properties help in glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration, and why ubiquinol, the active form of CoQ10, is a powerhouse for mitochondrial energy and cellular resilience.You’ll hear why statins can lower CoQ10 levels and how switching to ubiquinol can better support energy-demanding tissues like the eye. We break down food sources you can add today—dark grapes, berries, dark chocolate for resveratrol; salmon, sardines, organ meats, and pistachios for ubiquinol—along with practical tips for choosing high-quality supplements and pairing them with meals to improve absorption. The goal is simple: reduce oxidative stress, fuel mitochondria, and give your eyes the steady support they need to age well.If you’re managing glaucoma or macular degeneration, or you’re focused on prevention, these strategies help stack the odds in your favor. We tie research insights to everyday choices, from diet upgrades to smart supplementation, so you can build a sustainable plan for long-term eye health. Empower yourself with knowledge and take proactive steps to safeguard your vision.
