As I am getting older, I notice more floaters and fuzziness when I look at things far away.

I try to eat a lot of carrots and kale as well as take an eye supplement with rutin and bilberry in it, but just wondering if there is something else i can do or take?

I am in my late 30s and know aging eyes cant be stopped, but just want to know if I can slow it down.

^^ That is what i currently take.
 
That's not bad for a cheap supplement but the problem is that they don't state anything about the extract amount for the Bilberry or anything else in it.

I've been thinking about doing an eye support formula because its an important type of product and something I'm very interested in myself, and honestly I can't find a formula on the market by a brand I would trust that would be a product that I would take myself. The downside is that its not traditionally a great selling category unless companies have a lot of money to sink into the marketing for it, and as with a lot of products like that, they try to keep costs as low and margins as high as possible.

Here are some ingredients that come to mind for me:

Eyebright herb - min. 750 mg. per day
Bilberry (std. to min. 25% anthocyanins) - 200+ mg per day
Lutein - 20 mg. per day
Zeaxanthin - 4 mg. per day
Astaxanthin - 4 mg. per day
Beta Carotene
Vitamin E (natural source)
Copper
 
They have a more comprehensive formula called Vision defense which is what i use

Mirtoselect® Bilberry Extract (Vaccinium myrtillus) (fruit) (standardized to 36% anthocyanosides)
50 mg		*
TrueBroc® Broccoli Extract (Brassica oleracea) (seed) (standardized to 13% glucoraphanin)
50 mg		*
Lutein [from Lutemax® 2020 (marigold flower extract)]
20 mg		*
AstaPure® Astaxanthin (from Haematococcus pluvialis)
4 mg		*
Zeaxanthin (as isomers) [from Lutemax® 2020 (marigold flower extract)]
4 mg

Pure synergy Eye protector is also great		*
 
Our eyes have a lot of endocannabinoid receptors, in fact it is one of the most densely populated organs. CBG has been found to be very beneficial for overall eye health, but specifically for eye pressure that can cause floaters and may lead to glaucoma.

A Invalid Link Removed indicated a majority of patients found CBG-dominant products effective in treating their chronic pain, anxiety, and insomnia, among other conditions.
While there are still gaps to fill in the research of CBG, early findings indicate it has numerous health benefits:
  • Reducing Invalid Link Removed and working as a vasodilator neuroprotectant; this makes it a promising option for treating and managing symptoms of glaucoma.

  • Combating Invalid Link Removed which causes nerve cell degeneration in the brain, by protecting neurons and stymieing progression.
  • An Invalid Link Removed, which are primarily found in the nervous system and regulate blood pressure and heart rate, as well as sympathetic nervous system activity. By inhibiting them, CBG may be able to Invalid Link Removed.
  • High potential as a Invalid Link Removed, including for breast, gastric, and colorectal cancer cells, and even glioblastoma brain tumors.

Personally I don't take any supplement directed toward eye health but in general I like the taste of carrots and just try to keep them regular which sounds like that's what you're doing so imo you are good and no additional supplements needed.
