Beyond Carrots: Four Everyday Foods That Boost Eye Health
A registered dietitian identifies four foods—egg yolks, pistachios, sweet potatoes, and spinach—that supply eye-supporting nutrients such as lutein, zeaxanthin, beta-carotene, and vitamin A. Because lutein and zeaxanthin are fat-soluble, pairing them with fats (like eggs) aids absorption. These foods may help protect the retina, shield eyes from blue light, support night vision, and reduce risks of dry eye, cataracts, and age-related macular degeneration over time.
