We all take our eyes and vision for granted and that is ok because we were born with them, but just watch them when occurs some disease or trauma. Sometimes, it may be too late as our whole life is affected. There are many methods for taking care of our vision, a preview of nutritional importance.
Of course we can't control all the factors that involves eye health, but also there are many of them that we can avoid. Natural vision problems are caused by age, smoking, sunlight, obesity, as well as intake of many medications. Age-related deterioration (most popular) can slip through nutrition.
It was proven that antioxidants of certain foods have an effect especially healthy in our eyes. Unfortunately now not everyone eats enough fresh-because of lifestyle, busy or simply cannot afford.
Nowadays it is very easy to find all vitamins and supplements on the market, among them a, c and e vitamins (antioxidants) have an influence on health of the eye.
Vitamin a can be found on meals as eggs, liver, milk, carrots. He is involved in the formation and maintenance of healthy skin, hair and helps in see in dim light, prevention of blindness for pregnant women.
Our eyes deteriorate without adequate supply of vitamin c. The indication of its importance is the fact that the concentration of vitamin c in vitreous humor (liqud clear in eyeball) comes to twenty-five times our level of serum (the level in our blood), the retina 100 times. The qualities of antioxidant vitamin C help prevent crystallisation and accumulation of foreign molecules resulting in blurred vision from cataracts.
People with low vitamin E levels in their blood have a greater risk of cataracts and macular degeneration.
No less important for vision are beta carotene, selenium, copper and zinc oxide, lutein. Smokers should be careful to have enough luteine how important it is to the retina.
Eye sight vitamins can be bought without a prescription unless a high dose of certain people who AMD and require an extra dose. Over the counter vitamins are expensive and usually don't provide most or all of the vitamins and nutrients listed on our page of nutrition of the eye. Normally doses range from 1 to 4 tablets a day, but these will vary with the quantity of vitamins and minerals in each pill. It's also nice to note that although the vitamins and minerals are good for us, a moderate amount is all we need to have a lot of them can be dangerous.
