  1. 7 Super Foods for Eyes as Sharp as a Hawk

  2. Carrots Carrots cannot repair vision acuity, but the vitamins found in carrots do promote overall eye health. Carrots are loaded with beta carotene and antioxidants, two primary substances that your body converts into vitamin A. Vitamin A makes sure that your eyes function as best as they can.

  3. Tomatoes Tomatoes are a rich source of carotenoids and lycopene that help protect the retina from light-induced damage. Your body needs at least 6,000 micrograms of lycopene every day to ward of age-related macular degeneration. 1 cup of sliced tomatoes contain approximately 25 mg lycopene and 106mg of copper.

  4. Spinach Spinach is a rich source of lutein, folic acid and carotenoids, all of which are great in protecting your eyes against harsh UV rays. It is only leafy green veggie that is so dense in nutrients. It is low on calories and is an ideal diet food.

  5. Eggs Lutein-enriched eggs will fight off most degenerative eye diseases. Eggs also give your system the energy it requires to make it through the day. Whether you like your eggs scrambled, poached or as an omelet, make sure to eat at least two eggs every day.

  6. Ostrich The idea of eating ostrich might not exactly be appealing to your senses, but it does have its perks. Ostrich meat is loaded with proteins, zinc and iron – all of which are great for your eyes. Plus, it is not as fattening as beef or other red meat.

  7. Nuts You knew nuts can be great for your skin and hair, but did you know that it can also work wonders for your eyes? Nuts are an excellent source of vitamin E, which protects eyes from free radicals and slows down age-related muscular degeneration. Just add a generous dressing of your favorite crunchy nuts to a salad and you are set for the day.

  8. Sweet Potatoes Beta carotene to the rescue once again! The bright-orange cover of the sweet potatoes is loaded with beta carotene and you don’t need to be told exactly how helpful it can be for your eyes. 1 medium sweet potatoes a day should meet your daily recommended dose of vitamin A.

  9. Don’t forget to get your eyes examined regularly, just to be sure. You don’t want to take any risks with your peepers. To find the best optician, click here: optiqueinc.com
