We’ve all learned that carrots and orange colored fruits (such as oranges) helps to improve eyesight and protect eyes from disease. The fact is, carrots and oranges are abundant in beta-carotene – a type of Vitamin A which increases the retina activity.

A lot of other foods provide similar benefits: peaches, red peppers, strawberries or tomatoes.
Along with citrus fruits, people who want to improve their visual acuity and prevent eye diseases using diet, can use large amounts of wild berries.
Kale is a sort of cabbage, extremely rich in lutein and zeaxanthin, two nutrients that can reduce the risk of cataracts and the macular degeneration due to aging. A large study showed that women using rich lutein food, have a 23% lower risk of developing cataracts compared to women who not uses these foods in the diet.
