How To Care For Your Eyes Naturally

Load up on blueberries rich in anthocyanins and leafy greens, tomatoes, and guavas rich in carotenoids to prevent cataract. If you follow Ayurveda, have 1 tbsp triphala mixed with milk, twice daily. Walk 2 miles thrice a week to lower your risk for age-related macular degeneration by 70% and do simple eyeball rotation exercises. And get your kids to spend some time outdoors away from phone screens to lower their risk for myopia.

Some will say the eyes are the windows to the soul. To the more science-minded, they’re an incredibly complex organ that gives us the gift of vision. Either way, most of us tend to take our eyes for granted. Just imagine your world if you lost your sight – even just reading this passage on this very screen would be impossible, not to mention seeing the expression of a loved one … or catching a gorgeous sunrise. Fortunately, several easy and natural ways can help protect our eyes – and even improve our vision.

Food For Your Eyes
Black Currant, Bilberry, And Blueberry


Anthocyanins or phytochemicals with antioxidant properties found in berries like black currant, bilberry, and blueberry are especially good for the eyes. Animal studies have found that anthocyanins can stimulate the regeneration of rhodopsin, a protein in the retina that can help you see in low light.1

Other research has shown that having black currant anthocyanoside concentrate can help the eyes adapt to the dark. It can also give relief from temporary problems with vision, say from working with video display terminals for a long period of time, and prevent or relieve eye strain.2 Given that so many of us spend a large part of the day staring at a screen, snacking on some black currants may not be such a bad idea!
