The Connection Between Diet and Eye Health
Your diet plays a pivotal role in maintaining sharp vision and overall eye health. At Enny Eye Care in Ikeja and Ikoyi, Lagos, we emphasize the importance of consuming the right nutrients to protect your eyes and enhance their function.
What Your Eyes Need:
- Vitamins A, C, and E: These antioxidants protect your eyes from harmful free radicals and reduce the risk of age-related eye conditions like macular degeneration and cataracts. Foods like carrots, oranges, and almonds are rich sources.
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Found in fish like salmon and mackerel, omega-3s improve tear production and prevent dry eyes.
- Lutein and Zeaxanthin: These nutrients, found in leafy greens like spinach and kale, protect the retina from harmful light and reduce the risk of eye strain.
- Zinc: Essential for night vision and overall eye function, zinc is abundant in poultry, beans, and nuts.
Pairing a balanced diet with proper hydration ensures optimal tear production and eye moisture, keeping your vision clear and your eyes comfortable.
