March is National Nutrition Month. Making better nutritional choices can lead to better eye health and better overall health. Foods rich in vitamins C and E, zinc, lutein, zeaxanthin, and omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA are good for eye health, according to the Age-Related Eye Diseases Study (AREDS) and other large research studies. Eye-healthy food choices include citrus fruits, vegetable oils, nuts, whole grains, dark green leafy vegetables, and cold water fish. Patients with Age-Related Macular Degeneration should ask their doctor if they may benefit from a specific formula of vitamin supplements called the AREDS II formula vitamins. Finally, diabetic patients can preserve their long-term vision by keeping their blood glucose under control with a low glycemic-index diet.
