Vital optic formulas
for sharp sight.
I'm the founder of OpticVita — a small eye health wellness business based in San Diego, CA. This journal is where I document the science of vision, test my own formulas, and share what I've learned about protecting and sharpening sight at every age.
The Nutrients Your Eyes Actually Need — And Why Most People Are Deficient in All of Them
Lutein, zeaxanthin, astaxanthin, omega-3s, vitamin A — the research is clear but most diets fall short. I broke down my own bloodwork and rebuilt my eye health stack from scratch. This is the article that became the foundation of OpticVita.

A founder in San Diego writing honestly about what vision health actually requires.
OpticVita is a sole proprietorship I started in San Diego, CA, because I couldn't find an eye health brand that could explain its formulas in terms that matched the actual clinical literature. Lutein without a dose. Zeaxanthin without a form. Claims without mechanisms.
I built the OpticVita line — Powder, Capsules, Drops, and Gummies — around the real biology of the eye: macular pigment density, retinal blood flow, photoreceptor support, and blue light filtration. This journal is where I share that research and my own personal tracking.
I work out of WeWork Little Italy in San Diego. I answer every email personally. This is a real small business with a real person behind it.
