Eye health Foods?

Question

Im taking supplements such as fish oil and teen multivitamin but i was wondering if anyone knew of some good foods for your eyesight. I know this probably sounds like a stupid question but i really care about my eyesight(even though i suffer from astigmatism) but i just want them to be healthy for as long as possible. I have heard foods rich in omega 3's are good and thats why i eat fish and take fish oil supplements but is their any fruits and veggies that are high in vitamins and minerals especially those critical for good eye health????

Answer 1

Green leafy veggies.  Try to get vitamins with Beta Carotene and Lutien.  These are fantastic for eye health and can help ward off Macular Degeneration as you age.  Try adding ICaps or Vitalux to your daily vitamins.  These are the vitamins we dispense at our office.  

Good for you for taking a pro-active approach to your eye health!  I wish all my patients were like you......wait....I may be out of business then!  Good for you! :)

Answer 3

not a stupid question at ALL. you are right in protecting your eyesight, and preventing it from deteriorating, keep these habits and your iris's won't fade as you age, and you will overall reduce redness and worsening vision

omega 3's are the leading in improving eyesight, experts say, carrots and i think anything with beta-carotene(sp?) are extremely beneficial..

yeah fish oil pills are easiest to consume

i think even green tea extracts will help some also, but what you have going, you are doing the absolute best for your eyes, they will thank you 8)

Answer 4

vitamin a and omega 3 foods such as eggs spinach apricots and CARROTS

Answer 5

I was always told that rabbits have good eye sight because they eat carrots.
