Living a healthy lifestyle by maintaining a healthy weight and eating foods like fish and dark leafy green vegetables help lower your risk of eye disease. Specifically for eye health try to focus on leafy greens (spinach, kale), vibrant orange veggies (carrots, sweet potatoes), and red bell peppers to reduce the risk of macular degeneration, cataracts, and dryness. Other foods like broccoli, romaine lettuce, collards, turnip greens, peas, and brussels sprouts are also packed with essential antioxidants like lutein, zeaxanthin, and vitamins A, C, and E. Eggs also are a good source of nutrition.
