Keeping Your Eyes Healthy

A balanced nutritional intake is important for eyes to remain healthy. Adding certain nutrients to our diet can help preserve vision and reduce risk of certain eye diseases

Generally, it is best to obtain most nutrients through our daily food intake, including two to three servings of fish per week and plenty of colourful fruits and vegetables. Taking multivitamins or eye vitamins can fill the nutritional gap in a less optimal diet. If you plan to begin a regimen of eye vitamins, be sure to discuss with your ophthalmologist as taking too many supplements can cause problems especially if you are taking prescription medications.
