Why This Top Melbourne Health Retailer Backed Nutravision from Day One

A candid conversation between Dr. Brian Ang and Ian Collins, former Director of Evelyn Faye Nutrition

When Nutravision first launched, it didn’t have a huge marketing budget or celebrity endorsements. What it had was science, integrity, and one powerful belief: that better vision support was possible.

Ian Collins, longtime Director of Evelyn Faye Nutrition, one of Melbourne’s most respected health retailers, saw that potential straight away.

“We were one of the very first to stock Nutravision,” Ian says. “We thought it had a big chance. But I can honestly say... it’s turned out to be far better than I even envisaged.”

Over the years, Ian has heard it all: customer feedback, product hype, and exaggerated claims. But what made Nutravision stand out wasn’t the packaging. It was the results.

“The most important thing for me is what our customers tell us,” he explains. “And what we’ve heard from Nutravision users is remarkable.”

What Customers Told Ian — and Why It Surprised Him

“We had customers with glaucoma say their eye pressure went down. Some were already on medication, but after starting Nutravision, their numbers improved even more.”

“Others told us their vision felt less cloudy — some after just two to three months.”

“And what really surprised me,” Ian admits, “was hearing from people with macular degeneration who said they noticed a difference. I didn’t think that was even possible.”

So he asked Dr. Brian Ang, ophthalmologist and Nutravision co-founder, if there was real science behind these outcomes.

Brian’s Response: Why Nutravision Works Beyond the Basics

“It’s a great question, Ian,” Brian replied. “When we formulated Nutravision, we decided to go deeper, more comprehensive, with potentially less risk than most other eye supplements.”

Nutravision contains lutein and zeaxanthin, the two key carotenoids for macular health support, which are also found in most other eye supplements. But Nutravision also includes:

• Saffron, clinically studied for its ability to reduce eye pressure and to improve visual function in those with macular degeneration and diabetic macular oedema
• Methylfolate (active folate) and methylcobalamin (active B12), which help reduce homocysteine levels — a marker linked to macular decline
• Antioxidants and circulatory support ingredients (such as ginkgo biloba and bilberry) that enhance blood flow to the optic nerve and retina

“It’s the synergy of these nutrients that makes the difference,” Brian says. “We’re not just adding ingredients for marketing — we’re supporting the full eye–nerve–brain system in a way that standard eye supplements don’t.”

Why This Matters

As a health store owner with decades of experience, Ian knows how rare it is to see consistent, unsolicited feedback from real customers.

“People come back and tell us they can read better, drive at night again, or that their eyes feel more comfortable and less dry. It’s not just one or two people — it’s enough that we took notice.”

“I’m so excited we were part of Nutravision’s early journey. It’s not just another eye supplement; it’s truly a product that’s helping people in real life.”

That’s what matters most. Real people. Real stories. Real impact.
And it’s only just the beginning.
