Maintaining a well-balanced, healthy diet is key to keeping your eyes healthy, and may help reduce your risk for developing eye conditions. Eating the right food is the best way to get eye-healthy nutrients, helping your eyes stay bright. Here are five of the best foods for your eyes. Most are generally available year-round and for a reasonable price.
Carrots contain beta-carotene, which the body uses to make vitamin A. Vitamin A is important to the health of your eyes. Without it or in insufficient quantities, low vitamin A levels can lead to dry eye, corneal scarring, night blindness and vision loss.
Dark green leafy vegetables
Dark green leafy vegetables like kale, spinach and broccoli are rich in the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin. These antioxidants act as a filter and protect the retina from damaging blue light.
Red peppers
Orange and red fruits and vegetables like red peppers, oranges, strawberries and kiwi contain lots of vitamin C, another antioxidant, which may help prevent the development of cataracts.
Fish
Fish, especially salmon, are packed with omega-3 fatty acids. These are “healthy” fats. Omega-3 fatty acids help promote the visual health of the retina and can help prevent dry eyes. Salmon, sardines and herring have the most omega-3s, but flounder, halibut and tuna are also good.
Oysters are loaded with Zinc, which may be able to slow the progression of age-related macular degeneration. Besides, Zinc is also found in turkey, eggs, peanuts and whole grains.
To have healthy bright eyes, you should take care of your eyes from the inside by adding nutrients to your eyes. In addition, you should have regular eye exams for early detection and timely treatment.
