Foods for better eyesight?

Question

Does anyone know any foods or anything that could improve your eyesight?

Answer 1

As much as I wish I could say otherwise, glasses, contacts, or surgery are the only way to improve your eyesight. The other answers that have mentioned carrots and leafy greens (rich in various vitamins and antioxidants) are very good for protecting the eyes from damage, but unfortunately, they can't actually make your vision better to the point where you don't need glasses (if you already do).

I've been looking for other options for almost 20 years since I first had to get glasses and I have found things that improve the health of your eyes (which can help them from getting worse), but they can't make the actual visual acuity better. Most of them are natural herbs and vitamins that help maintain the health of the eye and I can mention a few if you'd like.

The main reason is because vision problems are a physical problem (the physical distance between the retina and lens), not a chemical problem that can be changed with drugs, herbs, or supplements :-(

As far as fruits and veggies (like carrots), they have vitamins and minerals that may help to protect and/or nourish the eyes, but unfortunately, they can't change the numbers on your eyesight.

I've heard of eye exercises that some people try, but based on a lot of research I've done on them, there is no basis to say that it will improve your eyesight at all. All that's left after all that is surgery or glasses/contacts. Sorry.

Answer 2

As long as your general nutrition is good, there's nothing you can do to make your eyesight better than normal by eating or taking supplements.   The eyes generally need Vitamin A - that is, beta carotine, which is found in, what else, Carrots.  It is also found in just about any other brightly colored vegetable.   Eat a good selection of those (I've seen it written "Eat your colors"), and your eyes will be healthy.

Mangoes, bananas and carrots are believed to strengthen  and prevent vision problems as you age. If you do have myopia or short-sightedness then try Anulom-vilom Pranayam (breathing exercise) Over a period of time, it will surely improve our vision.
