There are many kinds of food that are good for eyesight. Carrots are rich in Vitamin A and beta carotene which is quite needed in maintaining the surface lining in your eyes. Cold water fish like sardine, cod and tuna contains a large amount of omega-3 fatty acids and DHA that are important for the cell-membranes structure. People take them to alleviate dry eyes and to improve eye sight. Leafy greens are the rich source of carotenoid and lutein which protect the macula (in the center of the retina) from the harm caused by sunlight. Eggs have the advantage of preventing the formation of cataract. Nuts and seeds contain abundant zinc that is indispensable to retina function. Besides, more fruits and vegetables should be included in the diet.
