Are you eating those foods which are good for your eyes? There are a lot more foods that are good for eyes than just carrots.
Here are the 7 foods which will boost your eye health and help to protect them against sight-threatening diseases.
• Fish: Cold water fishes such as salmons, tunas, sardines and mackerel are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help to protect eyes from dryness and macular degeneration and even cataracts. If you don’t like seafood then you can get a good supply of omega-3 by using fish oil supplements or taking vegetarian supplements that contain black currant seed oil or flaxseed oil.

• Whole grains: A diet containing foods with a low glycemic index (GI) can help reduce your risk for age-related macular degeneration. Refined carbohydrates for brown rice, whole oats and whole wheat breads. The vitamin E, zinc and niacin found in whole grains can also help to promote overall eye health.
• Berries and citrus fruits: Oranges, grapefruits, lemons and berries are high in vitamin C, which may reduce the risk of cataracts and macular degeneration.
• Nuts: Pistachios, walnuts, almonds, whichever type tickles your fancy are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E that boost your eye health.
