Did you know that the retina – the part of the eye responsible for vision – has the highest metabolic rates of all of the tissues in the body? The American Refractive Surgery Council says that healthy foods can offer protective benefits, which may result in longer lasting clear vision. Here is a list of nutrients that recent research is showing may protect the future of your vision.

To easily include these foods in your daily meal plan we’ve created a shopping list printable.

Antioxidants – Blueberries, Apples (with the peel), Kale, Spinach, Beets and tea. Antioxidants are nutrients that can help protect your cells from stress and wearing out.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids – Fish, Walnuts, and Avocados. Eating a diet rich in Omega-3 fatty acids may help protect against dry eye syndrome and macular degeneration.

Carotenoids – Carrots, Egg Yolks, Tomatoes and Orange Peppers
Carotenoids are pigment molecules that have the ability to absorb the harmful energy of blue and ultraviolet light, known to cause eye damage including macular degeneration and cancer.

The American Refractive Surgery Council (ARSC) was formed to help people make informed choices about refractive surgery, including LASIK, and improve the way they see the world. Parents interested in learning more about LASIK or other surgical vision correcting options for themselves or children aged 18 or older can visit www.americanrefractivesurgerycouncil.org.
