Dr. Whitaker has good news…
You can see clearly at any age
Eye and vision issues are NOT an inevitable part of aging.
If you’re noticing eyestrain…tired eyes…trouble focusing…glare…and are growing more uncomfortable driving after dark, Dr. Whitaker has good news.
You don’t have to put up with it any more.
Dr. Whitaker’s Vision Essentials formula gives you the best nutrients clinically proven to…
Promote sharp vision
Protect your macula and lenses
Improve night vision
Ease eyestrain
Reduce glareDr. Whitaker is not just talking about the most common vision nutrients, lutein and bilberry. Of course, He’s been recommending lutein for eye health for years. Even long before the Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) came out showing how lutein protects your macular health and vision.
BUT if you’re not getting the research level of lutein in your formula (and most supplements give you a tiny amount), it’s a waste of money. Vision Essentials® is the only complete vision supplement under $30 that gives you the full research dose of 15 mg of lutein.¹
And lutein is just the beginning. What about eyestrain, glare, night vision, and the free radicals that bombard your eyes every day, eating away at your eye health?
Most vision supplements give you some lutein and maybe another antioxidant or two. Trash ‘em. You need an army of “special forces” antioxidants, the ones that work best in your delicate, complex eye tissues.
Dr. Whitaker’s Vision Essentials gives you this elite team of 18 nutrients—at the research levels—proven to protect your lenses and macula, the heart of clear, sharp vision.
Among this cream of the crop list of free-radical fighters is a rare blend of zeaxanthin and astaxanthin² that also fights eye fatigue and strain. No more tired eyes after an hour on the computer—or the road.

Fast Results PLUS Insurance for the Future...Vision Essentials is one of the few formulas to give you long-term vision security plus benefits you’ll see right away, including better night vision.
So many of Dr. Whitaker’s patients tell him how afraid they are to drive after dark. The red blobs—taillights or brake lights? Oncoming headlights—one set or two? Street signs blurred by glare and shadows. It’s a nightmare. So you stay home. You miss out on weddings, movies, plays, card games. Now it’s time to level the playing field, with one amazing berry that’s…
Guaranteed to work in just 30 minutes
When most people think of night vision, they think of bilberry. That’s not necessarily a bad thing…but I’m more excited about the remarkable research on another small, dark berry that does an even better job—black currant.
Multiple studies showed that participants taking 200 mg of black currant amino blend in a 4-capsule serving, the same form and amount in my Vision Essentials, adjusted significantly faster to seeing an illuminated object in a dark room³. Even better, the black currant doesn’t need days or weeks to build in your system—it starts working in just 30 minutes!
Bonus benefit—goodbye to tired eyes!
The study participants also reported less eye fatigue after taking black currant extract. That’s a benefit you get night and day. The more we use computers and cell phones, the greater the strain on our precious eyes.
