Boost your eye health1-6
		Studies support that eye health is improved when diet is supplemented with these key nutrients2, 3
		These antioxidants are not made by your body—only your diet can provide them

Dear Friend,

Used to be like clockwork. You turn 40 and fine print turns into an army of ants racing across the page.

So you pick up a pair of reading glasses, slip them on and you signal to the world (yourself included) that the first sign of aging has taken its toll on you. And then things could get worse.

Night vision can diminish, and so might your social life, since driving at night becomes out of the question. Color perception fades. Details disappear. It becomes difficult to recognize familiar faces from a distance...even in daylight.

But this misery does not have to be your fate. Years of eye-health misinformation and misconceptions are being debunked. Simply read on and discover the newly revealed secrets that could make your future brighter than ever.

Breakthrough Research

Everyone used to think eyesight degeneration was just a natural consequence of aging. But we now know that this thinking is often wrong! The truth, as they say, really can set you free.

Researchers at Johns Hopkins,⁷ Harvard Medical School,⁸ the National Institutes of Health⁹ and dozens of other leading medical schools and universities throughout North America and around the world¹⁰ have discovered that there are a number of risk factors associated with vision loss.¹¹

Your eyes are not programmed to deteriorate with age. They do not have expiry dates stamped on them. They do not wear out with use like a pair of shoes. And your vision certainly doesn’t diminish because you sat too close to the TV when you were a kid.

While millions are seeing the world as if they were watching an old rabbit-eared black-and-white TV, you could see the world in full clarity, high-definition widescreen .

Yes, a bright new world could be unfolding for you! And this report opens up that new world to you in ways that may startle—and absolutely delight—you.

A quick summary of the latest research: Your eyes could (and should!) remain in good working order for life!

The amazing thing is, we now know that helping your eyes stay healthy can be simple. All you have to do is properly nourish the right muscles, cells, and blood vessels. When you do, you may be able to:

Today’s research discoveries are being put into practice, with amazing success. We’re acting fast on what study after scientific study helps us believe is the most powerful, most effective way to protect your eyesight.

Save Your Sight. Save Your Independence.

Your heart can be in great shape. You can be cancer-free. Your mind can be sharp as a tack. Your bones and joints can be strong. But when your eyesight fails, your quality of life could quickly be reduced to one you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy.

Visual impairment is one of the top four causes of loss of independence.¹⁴

It might start with the need for reading glasses. But eyesight degeneration doesn’t stop there.

You’ve heard of macular degeneration, I’m sure. It’s the leading cause of blindness in people over 50. This eye disease now affects an astounding 15% of the elderly population and it is estimated to affect 50% of the population in the next decade.¹⁵ (A fact that lends support to the idea that aging causes degeneration of eyesight.)

So, it’s no surprise there are lots of products on the market that claim to help your vision. But here’s the problem: most of them are diluted with ingredients you simply do not need to protect your eyesight. And get this: some of them give you none of the ingredients suggested to help nourish your eyes.

This really bothered me. With millions seeking solutions to vision problems, with millions doing all they can to preserve their precious independence, I saw that most of them were wasting their money on products that don’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of protecting their vision.

So I did something about it. I developed a formula based on clinical studies that show the ingredients can be beneficial to your eye health. I call it 20/20 Vision.

100% FREE BONUS ...just for the asking! But you must ask within 10 days. Practically everyone knows nutrition is important. But few know just how important it is. And fewer still realize how critical proper nutrition is to strengthening and protecting eyesight. Dr. Marchione is a medical doctor who is among the world’s foremost experts in nutrients and nutrition. In fact, thousands of men and women know Dr. Marchione as “The Food Doctor.” Because you are concerned with protecting and improving your eyesight, we want you to have a bonus gift from Dr. Marchione that will help you. It’s the doctor’s newest report, Foods Your Eyes Love. Order Dr. Marchione’s 20/20 Vision Formula within the next 10 days and Foods Your Eyes Love (a $20 value) will be sent to you FREE! The “forbidden” breakfast food that delivers lutein and zeaxanthin. But you’d have to eat breakfast 100 times a day to give your eyes the lutein and zeaxanthin you get in one 20/20 Vision pill. Spinach made Popeye strong to the finish, and it can help you see better. Corn works, too. But 20/20 Vision can work even better... but you should still eat your spinach. Cheddar cheese is better for your eyes than carrots? Both give you the vitamin A your eyes crave. What if you ate them together? Green leafy vegetables are necessary for overall health. Which ones are best for your eyes? Fish is thought of as brain food. And your eyes are close to your brain. So, is fish good for your eyes?

Your Eyes Need Specialized Antioxidants

Like magic (but it’s really based in science), the specialized antioxidant power of 20/20 Vision could help you to go through life with:

No night-vision problems
...so you can drive after the sun goes down. You could have the confidence to go out and see friends and take in shows and events. You could have the freedom to come and go as you please, even on the darkest of nights.¹⁸

No fears of losing your vision
...to the eye problems that steal sight from so many older folks.¹⁹ (I’ll tell you more about this in a moment.)

But first, let me stress as clearly as possible just how important 20/20 Vision can be to you. And because it is such a breakthrough in eye health, I want to make it as easy as possible for you to get 20/20 Vision into your hands, so you can start:

	Improving contrast perception
	Enhancing depth perception
	Improving night vision
	Erasing age from your eyes
	Strengthening blood vessels going directly to your retina and the part of your retina that so easily degenerates—the macula

Imagine walking into a dark movie theater and being able to see clearly enough to find a good seat.

And when you walk out of the movies into the bright afternoon sun, your eyes could adjust in a blink. You won’t feel like a vampire shading your eyes with your hands. You’ll be ready to go on your merry way.

Are Your Eyes Growling with Hunger?

If you’re suffering from any form of diminished vision, that’s nature’s way of telling you that your eyes could be starving.

Like every other part of your body, your eyes require specific nutrients. Without them, they starve and eventually shut down. When your eyes get the nutrients they need, they keep on working. The theory is pretty much that simple.

I’ve told you how lutein works wonders. Well, researchers at Harvard Medical School in Boston found that zeaxanthin supplementation produces similar results to those that lutein did.²¹ What’s the connection with lutein and zeaxanthin?

Lutein and zeaxanthin are the only two carotenoids in your eyes. These two nutrients give your eyes pigmentation. Pigmentation helps filter light and provides protection from harmful UV rays. So naturally, I believe any eye-health supplement must contain lutein and zeaxanthin. But remarkably, not all supplements on the market give you these two critical ingredients.

A Note From Dr. Marchione Dr. Victor Marchione Improve Your Eye Health Through Nutrition Improving your eye health is not as hard as you might think. Most people think that improving their eye health means they have to start wearing expensive prescription glasses. Others feel queasy about having to put contact lenses in their eyes. And even worse, most people cringe when they think about invasive eye surgery. But it doesn’t have to be like this. In fact, you can improve your eye health without having anyone or anything even getting near your eyes. It’s as simple as a small dietary supplement. It’s 100% natural and the ingredients have been proven to improve eye health in various clinical studies, as you’ll read in this special report. I called it 20/20 Vision because, as 20/20 is considered to be the benchmark of great vision, I believe that my formula is the benchmark for giving you optimal eye health using only naturally sourced ingredients. And, as you’ll see on the following page, it starts with the two most important ingredients that your eyes are starving for. Let me help you achieve optimal eye health, starting right now. Sincerely, Victor Marchione, MD

About Macular Degeneration

Because people over 40 suffer from it the most, we used to think it was natural aging that caused the damage. But it turns out that aging doesn’t have anything to do with the degeneration of your eyesight.

The Secret No One Saw Before

The culprits that steal away vision are harmful UV rays24 and the relentless bombardment of a host of environmental toxins that unleash free radicals on the sensitive cells of your eyes. Just so happens, it takes years (about 20 years or more25) for the bombardment to take its toll on us. And that’s why we all used to think vision loss was just a natural result of aging. Does this new discovery mean you have to go around wearing dark goggles all the time to protect your eyes from toxins? It wouldn’t hurt. But it wouldn’t do much to improve your vision...not to mention your looks.

I believe 20/20 Vision is the better way to scavenge those nasty free radicals set loose by toxins.²⁶

Night Owls Rejoice!

Bilberry, another element that goes into 20/20 Vision, is famous for helping British Royal Air Force pilots see at night during World War II.²⁷ Never before had these healthy men in the prime of their lives been able to see their targets so clearly at night.

You wouldn’t think those virile young men would need any help at all with their eyesight. But bilberry came to their rescue anyway, allowing them to see through the darkness and hit their targets with war-winning accuracy. That’s how effective this naturally sourced ingredient is reported to be.

But bilberry isn’t the only ingredient that helps you improve your night vision. 20/20 Vision also gives you retinol, which is a light-sensitive derivative of vitamin A.

20/20 Vision Helps Stop Another Common Cause of Vision Problems

The capillaries reaching your retina are very fragile. They are so fragile that they are prone to breakage and bleed into the retina, especially among diabetics. But 20/20 Vision has an answer! It comes from the Maritime Pine tree that grows along the Atlantic coast of the Bordeaux region of France.

Actually, the magic comes from the bark of Maritime Pine. Sounds a little weird, I know. But stay with me and I’ll explain.

We’ve focused on an extract from the bark. In vitro studies show this extract from Maritime Pine is 50 times more effective as an antioxidant than vitamin E and 20 times more powerful than vitamin C.²⁸

Besides fighting off free radicals like a gladiator on steroids, pine bark extract reduces vascular fragility.²⁹ In other words, it strengthens your blood vessels, especially the fine capillaries that feed the most sensitive parts of your eyes. These capillaries are so small that when they bleed it’s called microbleeding. But make no mistake. You don’t want any blood leaking from those capillaries.

Pine bark extract has also been shown to serve as an anti-inflammatory agent, keeping the blood vessels running to your eyes healthy.³⁰

Are a Few Pennies a Day Too Much to Pay for a Lifetime of Healthy Vision?

Ask a blind person that same question.

Look, 20/20 Vision is such an amazing supplement that I don’t want anything to keep it away from you. Not even the price.

Fortunately for you, right now (for a limited time only, I’m afraid) I can send you a few of the bottles I have here in my office...for peanuts! Well, actually for just a few pennies a day...just enough to cover my cost. But I’ll pay for shipping and handling.

Looking out for you,

Victor Marchione, MD

P.S. FREE BONUS if I hear from you within the next 10 days: my special report on the foods that do your eyes the most good. It’s called Foods Your Eyes Love!

P.P.S. Once the supply of 20/20 Vision that’s sitting my office vanishes, so might the special low price I’m able to offer you. Don’t wait. Don’t miss out. I don’t want you to be disappointed. So please, tell me you want to benefit your sight (and your wallet) today!
