Beans and legumes (such as chickpeas, black-eyed peas, kidney beans, and lentils) are a great food option for eye health. They are vegetarian, low-fat, and high in fiber and zinc, and the nutrients they contain help protect the retina and lower your risk for developing cataracts.

Lutein and zeaxanthin absorb blue light, which is especially harmful to the retina. These nutrients can also help the eye detect contrast better, so eating foods rich in these antioxidants not only improves vision, but they help maintain your vision long-term.

Avocados contain the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin, which protect the eyes against light damage like from ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. They also reduce the risk of chronic eye diseases, like cataracts.

Oranges and other citrus fruit contain vitamin C, which is key for eye health. The vitamin, found mainly in fresh fruits and vegetables, contributes to healthy blood vessels in your eyes. It can combat the development of cataracts, and in combination with other vitamins and nutrients, age-related macular degeneration.

Broccoli also contains beta-carotene, another carotenoid that benefits eyesight, albeit through a slightly different pathway. Whereas lutein is a powerful antioxidant, beta-carotene promotes eye health nutritionally.

Almonds, like other nuts and seeds, are generally good for eye health. Almonds contain vitamin E. This vitamin guards against unstable molecules that target healthy tissue. Consuming regular amounts of vitamin E can help prevent age-related macular degeneration as well as cataracts.

Salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which may be beneficial for eye health. Include salmon or other types of fatty fish two to three times per week. Other foods that include this type of healthy fat are walnuts (which also contain eye-healthy vitamin E), flax and chia seeds.
