Living a healthy lifestyle and eating foods to boost your eye health can help reduce a future risk of eye health issues. Browse our list of the ten best foods to help your eyes, and be sure to start including these in your diet.Maintaining Eye Health\u00b7 Fish \u2013 Most fish are excellent sources of omega\u20113 fatty acids. Selecting oily fish can provide even higher levels of this beneficial nutrient. The fish highest in omega-3s include salmon, trout, and mackerel, among others. Several studies suggest omega\u20113 fatty acids may help protect adult eyes from macular degeneration and dry eye syndrome. Essential fatty acids may also help proper drainage of intraocular fluid from the eye, decreasing the risk of high eye pressure and glaucoma. Cod Liver oil, the oil from the liver of the fish, is also very high in Vitamin A and D. Vitamin A helps protect the surface of the eye (cornea) and is essential for good vision and proper eye health.\u00b7 Nuts and Legumes \u2013 These healthy snacks also contain high levels of omega-3s. Nuts, in particular, often contain a lot of vitamin E, which can help to maintain eye health and protect your eyes from damage due to aging. The best nuts and legumes include raw walnuts, cashews, and cooked lentils.\u00b7 Seeds \u2013 As with nuts and legumes, seeds also contain high levels of omega-3s and vitamin E. Chia, flax, pumpkin, sunflower and hemp seeds are the most abundant sources.\u00b7 Citrus Fruits \u2013 Citrus fruits contain high levels of vitamin C. This is an antioxidant that is recommended to help stave off age-related damage. Lemons, oranges, and grapefruits are among the best sources.\u00b7 Leafy Green Vegetables \u2013 These veggies are rich in beneficial zeaxanthin, lutein, beta carotene and also vitamin C. Spinach, collards, and kale are excellent choices.\u00b7 Carrots \u2013 Carrots contain beta-carotene, which converts in the body to Vitamin A. Vitamin A is essential for vision and maintaining eye health, as it is a component of rhodopsin, which is a protein that helps your retina to absorb light. Beta-carotene is needed by your body to make vitamin A.\u00b7 Sweet Potatoes \u2013 Sweet potatoes are rich in beta-carotene and are a good source of vitamin E.\u00b7 Beef \u2013 Beef contains high levels of zinc, which helps improve your long-term eye health and also can help to delay sight loss and macular degeneration due to aging. Chicken and pork also contain zinc, but in lower levels than beef.\u00b7 Eggs \u2013 Eggs contain lutein and zeaxanthin, much like leafy greens, which can help to lower the risk of age-related vision loss. They are also great sources for vitamins C, E and A and zinc.\u00b7 Water \u2013 Drinking enough water can prevent dehydration, which in turn may help to reduce the symptoms of dry eyes.Maintaining good eye health is essential for everyone.
