Too much time spent looking at a computer monitor or mobile device can easily cause
the eyes to become strained and can even be the cause for impaired vision.
Some people also believe that poor sight is an inevitable consequence of aging or eye
strain.
One study in the United States, conducted by the National Eye Institute, showed the
importance of eye health through healthy eating, and healthy living can greatly reduce
eye concerns.
Research has indicated that vitamin A, beta-carotene, vitamin C, omega-3 fatty acids, as
well as flavin and zeaxanthin, have significant functions within the process of
maintaining eye health.
Eating foods rich in such nutrients can help improve and protect the eye vision, prevent
myopia and cataracts, and reduce the risk of vision problems by at least 20-30 percent.
1. Vitamin A
Vitamin A is an important constituent of the light-sensitive pigments in visual cells. It
protects the eyes as well as facilitates proper eyesight. The main source of vitamin A is
liver of animals like lamb, chicken, pig, duck, and beef. Additionally, eggs and carrots are
rich sources of vitamin A.
2, Ascorbic Acid
Vitamin C is a natural antioxidant with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that
protect the eyes from toxic free radicals and UV radiation. Vitamin C is another essential
nutrient for the eyes. The foods richest in vitamin C include a variety of fruits and
vegetables, such as cherries, kiwi fruit, oranges, apples, lemons, peppers, lettuce, kale,
tomatoes, broccoli, cabbage, and many others.
3, Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids
Of all the elements of omega-3 fatty acids, DHA and EPA are considered the most
important for normal visual development and function of the retina. On the other hand,
deficiency in the intake of omega-3 fatty acid has been shown in some studies to cause
gradual degeneration of the retina.
Omega-3 fatty acids are mainly found in deep-sea fish, especially sardines, anchovies,
salmon, herring, tuna, mackerel, saury, and many others.
4. Lutein and Zeaxanthin
Lutein and zeaxanthin are the most abundant in the human lens and retina where they
absorb free radicals in the eyes to protect eye health and enhance vision.
The foods rich in lutein and zeaxanthin include corn, carrots, spinach, kale, eggs, and
many more.
