Child Eye Care

It is difficult for the parents to make their child to eat right food at right time. The most important thing providing your child with necessary nutrition for eye health. We all know that carrots and green leaves are best for eye sight. But our kids are not used to eat the same vegetables daily. So here is the list of so many other foods which support eye health. 

Eyes foremost need vitamin A. But other important eye-protecting nutrients are vitamin C, vitamin E, beta carotene and an antioxidant called lutein, which helps protect the eyes from free radical damage caused by the sun.

Berries:

Berries are important source of catechins, an antioxidant that supports the proper functioning of light reactive retinal tissue. It is packed with vitamin-C and so helps in preventing cataracts in the eyes.

Nuts:

Nuts are rich source of vitamin-E which supports the body's ability to absorb beta-carotene and other vitamins and minerals.

Sweet Potatoes:

It is rich in vitamin-A, beta carotene, potassium and fiber, just like carrots.

Oranges:

It is rich in vitamin-C and contain pottasium, fiber, calcium and folate.

Fish:

Essential fatty acids do your whole body good, including your eyes, by helping with visual development, retinal function, and possibly protecting against dry eye. Fish like salmon, tuna, mackerel, and anchovy are typically the best way to load up on essential fatty acids.

Eggs:

Egg yolk is another key source of the important eye pigments, lutein and zeaxanthin.
