May 7, 2013Whether you’ve had LASIK or not, nutrition plays an important role in keeping your eyes healthy. Studies have revealed that getting foods rich in nutrients like Omega-3 fatty acids, lutein, zinc and vitamins C and E may help prevent age-related vision problems like cataracts.
What’s more, eating a nutritious diet helps maintain a healthy weight, which lowers the risk for Type 2 Diabetes, which can lead to blindness or other eye conditions such as glaucoma.
So stock up on these ultra healthy foods to help keep your eyes healthy:
- Green, leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale, and collards
- Salmon, tuna, and other oily fish
- Eggs, nuts, beans and other non-meat protein sources
- Oranges and other citrus fruits
