Diet for Healthy Eyes
We all know that if we intend to keep our body in good shape we have to do some form of physical exercise regularly as well as be careful with what we eat. If we only would eat junk food our bodies, and our health, would seriously suffer.
What we tend to forget is that this goes for our eyes as well. If we only eat burgers and fries, we wouldn’t be doing much for our eyes’ well-being. Thankfully, nowadays we know what we have to get into our system to maintain perfect vision.
Let’s take a closer look at what we can eat to stay as healthy as possible. Who knows – we might even be able to avoid having to use contact lenses or glasses.
Eye Friendly Foods
It is, of course, a good idea to discuss this issue with an eye doctor, but a simple rule of thumb to keep in mind is to try eating a rainbow of colorful foods (naturally-colored, that is). For example, food that contains antioxidants can help you in avoiding age-related macular degeneration or in the worst case scenario, blindness.
First of all, you have to eat enough Vitamin A. If you’ve ever felt as if your vision gets blurry at night it might be a result of Vitamin A deficiency. Vitamin A can be found in vegetables such as carrots, broccoli, sweet potatoes, and spinach.
When we start to get close to 40 years old, it’s not unusual to have issues with glaucoma. That’s yet another sign that you haven’t been getting enough Vitamin A.
The other vitamin that is crucial for good vision Vitamin C. It can, for example, prevent you from getting a cataract, a clouding of the eye, which is an eye disease that is becoming increasingly common. If you have diabetes, you also risk getting an edema of the retina if you don’t eat enough Vitamin C. Good sources for this are citrus fruits, rose hip, and various berries.
Omega 3 fatty acids are also of high importance for healthy vision and it can be found in salmon, mackerel, flaxseed, and walnuts.
So, if you want healthy eyes and are not sure what to eat for dinner, why not eat a colorful salad and serve it with salmon? If you do, you will treat your eyes with the best natural eye care possible.

Dear Sir,
I am Shah. I am 18 years old and I have been wearing big fat glasses for the past 8 years now. I have -5.50 in both of my eyes. My eyes feel very tierd whenever I sit at t he computer screen. Could you please suggest me any natural way to get a much better natural vision? Not to mention my aim is to get 20/20. And yeah, I am a vegetarian but willing to start eating eggs. I am willing to work hard to get a stronger natural vision. I am not interested in any of the doctoral treatments like Laser Surgery, OR Artificial pills.

I am really tierd of wearing my big glasses everywhere I go. I want a stronger vision. Any suggestion from you sir? Something that will help, I will really appreciate your good deed.
Dear Ms Singh,
I am a lady of 50 years of age, and have recently been recommended to wear a stronger lens in glasses since last year.
I have been told that my long sight has incresed, and that I have hardening of the irises, with weaker muscles around the eyes.
I know I have had glasses these past two years, but is there anything that can be done to prevent my eyes deteriorating quuickly through diet and supplement, or any other treatments available.
I would also like some advice on how to clean them when they feel gunged up, is baby shampoo advisable to use, or is there another way to clean them. I feel my eyes are heavy and tired in the day as well.
Yours sincerely,
. Upcraft (Miss).
