Foods that are good for the eyes are largely fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables provide much of the antioxidants and minerals to help combat the high metabolic and oxidative demand of the retina and the ocular structures. For example, sweet potatoes and carrots are often regarded as the best foods for eyes because they have a large amount of vitamin A. Vitamin A is excellent for helping with night vision and can even play a role in dry eyes. Green leafy vegetables also contain high amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin, which are caratonoids that play a vital role in the health of the macula, the central part of the retina which provides the sharp reading ability of eyesight as well as color perception. Lutein and Zeazanthin also play a role as natural blue light blockers and help with oxidative stress and inflammation which may occur within the retina. Omega 3 fatty acids have also been shown to play a positive role in a diet for healthy eyes. Diets rich in omega 3s have been linked to improvements in dry eye, diebetic retinopathy and macular degeneration.

About This Video: In this video, Dr. Joseph J. Allen, OD, FAAO, Diplo ABO from Doctor Eye Health reviews his 5 best foods for eye health and vision! If you are wondering what food is good for the eyes or what to eat to improve eyesight naturally, then this video is for you. A diet for healthy eyes is also a diet good for the heart. This means many green leafy vegetables but also fruits that are good for eyes. The best food for eyesight is debatable, but many eye health professionals would likely mention foods rich in vitamin A (such as carrots or sweet potato) or green leafy vegetables (such as kale or spinach). #eyehealth #healthyfoods #doctoreyehealth
