Nourishing News: 5 Top Foods for Eye Health

Healthy eating is good for your eyesight! Studies reveal that the five main eye diseases (cataracts, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), dry eyes, glaucoma and diabetic retinopahy) have a nutritional link. Foods with certain phytonutrients, which are powerful antioxidants, are important for keeping eyes healthy. The best source of these nutrients are found in whole foods including the ones below:

• Dark green leafy vegetables

• Orange fruits and vegetables

• Fish

• Dairy

Other Factors to Consider

• If you’re at risk of developing AMD, an eye supplement may be recommended. Discuss the risks and benefits of supplements with your eye care professional. Only use as directed.

• Maintaining a healthy body weight and lifestyle contribute to eye health.

• Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes.
