Eyes are among the most precious organs of the human body for sighted people, as they have the prime function of enabling you to see the outside world. As eye care is always a preventive step towards good eye health, special measures should be taken by people in preventing damage to the eyes due to dust, UV rays and harmful chemicals.

Exercises and nutrition are some of the best methods you can adapt to for good eye care. And nutrition means including various vitamins, minerals and rich vegetables in your diet.

Note that:

• Carrots are a source of vitamin A, C and E. These vitamins are antioxidants that improve eye health and enhance night vision. Orange, kiwis and grapes are rich in the above vitamins.

• Leafy vegetables including spinach, green peas, French beans and lettuce, when taken in large quantities help in improving your eyesight.

• Nuts, seeds, pepper, eggs, fish and poultry included in food items provide nutrition for eye health. Minerals and nutrients neutralize the harm done by free radicals. This slows down age related eye problems.

• Diet deficient in saturated fats and rich in omega-3 fatty acids has shown to slow down eye related problems.
