There are natural strategies which can be employed to help Protect The Vision. The best way is to modify the diet by including
Leafy green and brightly colored vegetables, organic pastured egg yolks,
black currants, bilberry, and seafood rich in omega-3s and astaxanthin
in it. Along with a healthy plate, one must follow a healthy set of
habits in order to have a precision quality vision for a long time. Easy
ones are;
=> Quit Smoking. Smoking ramps up free radical
production throughout your body and puts oneself at the risk for
less-than-optimal health in many ways.
=> Care for your cardiovascular system by getting Regular Exercise.
=>
Normalize your Blood Sugar. Excessive sugar in your blood can pull
fluid from the lens of your eye, affecting your ability to focus.
=>
Avoid Trans Fats. A diet high in trans fat appears to contribute to
macular degeneration by interfering with omega-3 fats in your body.
Trans fat is found in many processed foods and baked goods, fried foods
like French fries, fried chicken, cookies, pastries, etc.

Yellow Corn
(Bhutta/Makka) is greatly enjoyed these days, well this can be your new
friend as well, as it helps in protecting the vision. It is great
source of lutein and zeaxanthin and ½ cup of cooked corn has 1.8 grams
of beneficial pigments combined per serving. These naturally occurring
yellow pigments are lost during ARMD,
but eating foods like corn and other carotene-rich fruits and
vegetables significantly reduces the risk of losing these pigments. To
boost the absorption of the eye-friendly pigments in corn, be sure to
enjoy corn as part of a meal that provides some dietary fat like olive
oil, walnuts, or salmon.

Berries are delicious and tempting at the same time, but they can save your Eye Sight for the day as well. Bilberry
(Neelbadri), a close relative of the blueberry, is another nutritional
powerhouse for the eyes. It contain high amounts of anthocyanins, just
like the black currant. Anthocyanin-rich bilberry extract has a
protective effect on visual function during retinal inflammation. The
long-term supplementation with bilberry extract is effective in
prevention of macular degeneration and cataract.
Eggs are a multipurpose diet as along with the bones it also helps in strengthening the EyeSight. Organic pastured egg yolk is a source of both lutein and zeaxanthin along with healthy fat and protein, and while the total amount of carotenoids is lower than in many vegetables, they are highly absorbable. Adding a couple of eggs to the salad, there can be an increase in the carotenoid absorption from the whole meal by nine-folds. Keep in mind that once heat egg yolks (or spinach) is heated the lutein and zeaxanthin become damaged, and will not perform well in protecting the vision; so cook the eggs as little as possible, such as poached, soft-boiled, or raw.

Dark Leafy Greens (Hari Sabziyan)
The
green leafy vegetables like Spinach (Palak), Swiss chard (Ras Palak),
Collard greens (Saag), Broccoli, and Brussels sprouts (Bandh Gobhi) are
rich in Carotenoids Lutein and Zeaxanthin. Both are important nutrients
for Eye Health,
as both are found in high concentrations in the macula, the small
central part of the retina responsible for detailed central vision.
Lutein is also found in the macular pigment known for helping to protect
the central vision and aid in blue light absorption and zeaxanthin is
found in the retina. Both are capable of helping lower risk of cataracts
and advanced macular degeneration.
By age 75, half of us will either
have a visually significant cataract or have already had one extracted.
It’s the number-one cause of poor vision among people aged 65 to 74.
