Eat Well for Better Eye Health
Good eye health starts with the food on your plate. Nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, lutein, zinc, and vitamins C and E can help ward off age-related vision issues like macular degeneration (which makes it hard for you to see things right in front of you) and cataracts (cloudy spots on the lens of your eye).
To get enough of these nutrients, try to eat:
Green leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale, romaine lettuce, and collards
Broccoli and Brussels sprouts
Salmon, tuna, sardines, and other oily fish
Colorful veggies such as sweet potatoes, carrots, and red peppers
Eggs, nuts, beans, and other nonmeat protein sources
Oranges, nectarines, grapefruit, kiwi and other citrus fruits
Zinc-rich foods such as chickpeas, oysters, and yogurt
