Spinach and other greens can help slow the deterioration of visionAlthough carrots have long been considered helpful to maintaining vision, the American Optometric Association says that leafy greens play a much larger role in keeping eyes healthy.

The association recommends 10 milligrams of lutein per day, which is readily available in leafy greens like spinach, kale and turnip greens. Zeaxanthin, zinc, vitamins C and E and essential fatty acids, all of which have a positive impact on vision, can also be found in these vegetables.

The most common conditions that cause loss of vision—cataracts and macular degeneration—cannot be reversed with nutrition, but further deterioration can be slowed by regularly eating leafy greens and maintaining healthy habits like wearing sunglasses and avoiding saturated fats.

This is particularly applicable to adults, for whom vision deteriorates far more rapidly than children. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 3.4 million American adults aged 40 years or older suffer from vision loss or blindness.

While vegetables are indispensible to vision care, it can also be supported with the use of antioxidant supplements, which can help keep a high level of beneficial nutrients in the body if proper diet is not practiced regularly, or even as an alternative to regular consumption of leafy vegetables.ADNFCR-2035-ID-19279733-ADNFCR
