VISUAL GUIDE 1 / 3

Do not let one food claim answer three questions

QuestionWhat is needed?
Balanced diet?A varied, suitable eating pattern that supports normal health. No single “superfood” is required.
Deficiency?A clinical assessment when indicated and individualized treatment if a problem is identified.
Myopia control?Evidence for the claimed effect on onset or progression in the relevant population, not a general nutrient fact.
A nutrient’s normal role in vision does not establish that extra amounts will lower a child’s prescription. Keep nutrition and the myopia-care plan connected without confusing their purposes.Sources: [1] [2] [4] · Open or save this visual ↗
