How to eat in order to keep your eyes healthy

Here are some foods you can add to your diet to help keep your eyes strong, healthy, and seeing everything you love.

Carrots: They are high in vitamin A. Carrots will help prevent night blindness and your retinas will stay healthy.


Berries: The antioxidants are so rich in exactly what your eyes need to prevent cataracts, macular degeneration and other eye diseases.

Leafy greens: They have carotenoids, lutein, and zeaxanthin that are proven to help improve your vision and keep your eyes healthy. Your eyes will be protected from ultraviolet radiation when you eat them daily.

Soy: Fatty acids, phytoestrogens, vitamin E and anti-inflammatory agents work to keep your eyes in top condition.



Eggs: They are good for keeping your vision strong. They are loaded with cysteine, sulfur, lecithin, lutein and amino acids. All these work to keep your eyes at their healthiest.


Garlic and Onions: The sulfur content of these foods will help keep the lens of your eye strong and resilient.

Broccoli: They are good for the eye lenses, and they can protect your eyes from radical stressors.

Dark Chocolate: The flavanoids will protect the blood vessels of the eye, helping keep the cornea strong. However, the chocolate must be pure or the results simply will not be there.




Turkey and Ostrich: Both foods are high in zinc, which will help keep eyes healthy.
