your vision and at its worst, blindness. Consume broccoli, spinach, kale, corn, orange peppers, kiwi fruit, grapes, orange juice, zucchini, and squash to get your daily fix of lutein.
Zinc
Did you know that your melanin protects your eyes? Zinc makes this happen. Zinc enables vitamin A to produce the pigment we know as melanin. Foods rich in zinc are oysters, crabs, lean beef, poultry, dairy products, chickpeas, cashews and almonds.
Vitamin C
This vitamin does wonders for the body. Vitamin C supports healthy blood vessels in the eye. The tissues of the eye depend on vitamin C to absorb the iron it needs to function properly. Citrus fruits like oranges, grapefruits, lemons, limes and kiwis are packed with vitamin C. Vitamin C has also been linked to a decrease in cataracts. Vegetables such as potatoes, green peppers and broccoli will also get you right.
3. Limit Your Screentime
Nowadays we are surrounded by screens: screens on our computers, screens on our phones, screens on televisions. Screens are everywhere and could be causing some digital eye strain. So instead of always checking out what’s latest on your phone or squinting to see what’s next on Netflix, take a little time away from those screens and enjoy life outside. Your eyes will thank you for it.
