Your Sight-Improving Shopping List
Proper diet and nutrition are good for your overall health, but eating right can also benefit your eyes. Adding vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals to your diet can help protect your vision.
The produce aisle is an excellent place to start shopping for an ounce of prevention. But, there are also many supplements on the market, with some intended especially for your eyes.
If you plan to add any new supplements to your diet, it’s important to have a conversation with your doctor prior to doing so. Book an appointment at Orchard Park Optometry today, and we can answer your questions about nutrition targeted to your eyes.
