Vision is one of our most precious gifts, yet it is often taken for granted until it begins to fade. Dr. Rama Jager, a renowned retinal surgeon and founder of Pristene (formerly Eye Check), recognized this and set out to revolutionize eye health. Combining his expertise as an ophthalmologist with a passion for improving visual well-being, Dr. Jager created Pristene to provide high-quality, scientifically backed supplements that support eye health in a way that is both accessible and effective.

The Journey to Pristene

Dr. Jager’s journey began with his firsthand experience as a physician, seeing patients struggle with vision loss. He recalls how patients would come to him overwhelmed by the numerous eye health products available on the market, asking for guidance on which ones to trust. Driven to provide better solutions, he researched existing options extensively and identified gaps where improvements were needed. As a result, Pristene was founded—a business dedicated to providing clinical research-based solutions devoid of superfluous components and with quality certification.

What Sets Pristene Apart

What sets Pristene apart is its unwavering focus on quality and efficacy. Dr. Jager emphasizes that their products are designed with the same care he would extend to his family. From sourcing vegan and gluten-free ingredients to obtaining NSF certification—an industry gold standard—Pristene ensures every product meets rigorous standards. These eye supplements simplify the challenge of maintaining optimal eye health by delivering essential nutrients in an easy-to-use format, equivalent to consuming nutrient-rich foods like spinach or green tea daily. This approach makes it easier for individuals to support their eye health and provides peace of mind knowing that they are using products backed by science.

Addressing Pseudoscience in the Supplement Market

Beyond its commitment to quality, Pristene addresses a critical issue in the dietary supplement market: pseudoscience. Dr. Jager leverages his extensive clinical research background to ensure that every ingredient included in Pristene products is thoroughly studied and proven effective. This transparency and dedication have earned the trust of patients and professionals alike. By cutting through the noise of unsubstantiated claims, Pristene offers a beacon of reliability in a crowded market.

Making a Lasting Impact

As Dr. Jager reflects on his journey, he expresses gratitude for having chosen a career that allows him to make a meaningful impact on people’s lives. Pristene is not just about selling health supplements—it’s about empowering individuals with tools to protect their vision and enhance their quality of life. Whether it’s helping someone maintain their eyesight as they age or supporting those dealing with vision challenges, Dr. Jager’s work embodies a commitment to improving lives.

A Vision for the Future

In a world where vision health often goes overlooked, Pristene is a testament to innovation and care. Whether you’re seeking to maintain your eyesight, navigate the complexities of eye care products, or ensure that your loved ones have access to the best possible eye health solutions, Pristene offers a trusted path forward. Let Dr. Jager’s story inspire you to prioritize your visual well-being—because seeing the world clearly is a gift worth preserving.

As we look to the future, proactive eye care will only continue to grow in importance. With Pristene leading the way, individuals can feel confident in their ability to support their vision health effectively. By combining cutting-edge research with a patient-centric approach, Dr. Jager and his team at Pristene are redefining what it means to care for your eyes and, by extension, your overall well-being.
