Lifestyle eye care 1: Overview of lifestyle on systemic and eye health

Abstract

Following on from his recent CET series which established the link between the microbiome, diet and the immune system and how this influences eye health, Dr Rohit Narayan begins a new series that looks in more detail into the association between lifestyle and eye health. In this first part, he expands on the influence of diet on systemic and eye health and asks the question; is offering advice about lifestyle now within the role of the eye care practitioner?
