Carrots are a natural way to beef up eyesight. So is fish. What other foods are good for the eyes?
I love eating carrots but I am allergic to most fish. I just had cornea surgery and I’m taking the medicine and my eyes are getting better. However, I want to be able to drive with few limitations. Wearing glasses I’m ok with but I want to be able to drive at night too. Even though I can see well in both light and dark, I have a nasty habit of getting screwed at the DMV (or BMV or whatever those sons-o-b****es call themselves.)
Eating carrots won’t give you the power to see through walls, but it can help support long-term healthy vision. Carrots, and other yellow or orange vegetables, are packed with beta-carotene, which is converted into vitamin A in our bodies. Vitamin A promotes healthy eyesight, especially at night, and is vital to preventing night blindness. Other vegetables and fruits, such as spinach and papayas, are full of lutein, an antioxidant that helps protect the eyes from damage caused by the sun’s harmful rays. Lutein can also help protect your eyes against the risk of macular degeneration and cataracts. Check out our list of foods that can help you keep your eyes healthy for the foreseeable future!
Lutein-rich foods:
Kale
Turnip greens
Peas
Broccoli
Collards
Tomatoes
Spinach
Papayas
Tangerines
Vitamin A-rich foods:
Carrots
Spinach
Sweet Potatoes
Cantaloupe
Squash
Apricots
Blueberries and grapes These foods contain anthocyanins, which improve night vision. A cup full of blueberries, huckleberry jam, or a 100 mg bilberry supplement should improve dark adaptation within 30 minutes.
Spinach, kale and green leafy vegetables. These plants are rich in carotenoids, especially lutein and zeaxathin. Lutein, a yellow pigment, protects the macula from sun damage and from blue light.
