How Diet and Lifestyle Can Support Good Eye Health

Good eye health is closely linked to a nutritious diet and healthy lifestyle. Certain vitamins and nutrients play key roles in maintaining vision and preventing eye diseases.

Vitamin A is essential for maintaining healthy vision and can be found in carrots, sweet potatoes, and dark leafy greens like spinach.

Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant, helps protect eyes from damage and is abundant in oranges, broccoli, and bell peppers.

Lutein and Zeaxanthin, found in kale, spinach, and corn, help filter harmful blue light and protect the retina.

In addition to diet, maintaining a balanced lifestyle—getting regular exercise, avoiding smoking, and limiting alcohol intake—further supports eye health and reduces the risk of conditions like macular degeneration and cataracts.

Encouraging your patients to incorporate these foods into their diets can significantly impact their vision and overall eye health.
