How does follow-on formula help my baby’s visual development and eye health?

- during the second 6 mths of life, infant vision is maturing just in time to play a key role in early motor and cognitive development
- baby can now track moving objects, carefully inspect objects, and closely watch your every move

- research has shown that the long-chained polyunsaturated fatty acids docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (AA or ARA) are important nutrients for visual development during the first year of life

- a recent study showed that babies fed formula supplemented with DHA and AA during the second 6 months of life had significantly better vision at 12 mths of age than babies fed unsupplemented formula
- scientists are also learning that young children’s eyes can be particularly vulnerable to “blue” light rays, which can be harmful

- fortunately, the biofactor lutein can act as “Mother Nature’s sunglasses” to help shield young eyes by filtering the high-energy blue light- lutein help shield your toddler’s eyes from high-energy blue light and with DHA and AA to help support visual development
- vitamin A is also important for vision
