Foods for Eye Health

Nuts like hazelnuts, pine nuts, and walnuts are beneficial for eye health due to their vitamin E content, which along with other nutrients can help slow age-related macular degeneration. Dark leafy greens rich in carotenoids like lutein and ziaxanthin can lower the risk of long-term eye diseases like cataracts and macular degeneration. Small fish such as chovies, mackerel, oysters, and wild caught salmon provide essential omega-3 fats, DHA, and EPA, which protect eyes from conditions like AMD and glaucoma.
