GuidesTheyaVue Guides: Two Long Reads On Eyes And On Labels
Two guides, and neither of them is about this product. The first sets out what is actually known about protecting vision, ranked by how much difference each thing makes, with a supplement a long way down the list. The second is eight questions to ask of any eye supplement, including this one, and how to answer them from a label.
Both are written to be useful to somebody who ends up buying something else.
The TheyaVue desk's two guides
Eye health: what actually moves vision
Sunglasses, blood pressure, smoking, screen habits, diet and an eye test, ranked by effect size and with the evidence behind each. A supplement is in there, near the bottom, which is where the evidence puts it.
Choosing an eye supplement
Eight questions, each answerable from a label in under a minute. What a proprietary blend costs you, why the serving size line matters more than the percent column, and what to do when a bottle names an ingredient without a figure.
The TheyaVue blog
Five longer pieces sit in the blog, and each of them takes one question this label raises further than a page of the site can. The serving size that is half a dose, and the arithmetic every panel hides. What a 240.5 mg blend can and cannot hold. Eyebright, a plant named for a job nobody has tested it on. The alpha lipoic acid trial that failed and is never quoted. And the four levels of evidence sitting behind one list of names.
How the TheyaVue guides are written
Both guides are written to be useful to somebody who reads them and then buys a different product. That is not modesty: a buying guide that can only be answered one way is an advertisement, and a reader can tell.
Every figure in them is attributed. Trial amounts were read out of the study's own abstract through the NCBI interface, upper intake levels come from the Institute of Medicine chapters, and the plain-language material comes from the National Eye Institute and NCCIH, both of which publish on this subject with nothing to sell. Where the guides disagree with the advertising for the product this desk sells, they say so.
Corrections go to the website mailbox and are made on the page itself, with the review date moved forward.
