Nutrition, exercise, and other lifestyle choices play a huge role in our vision and the health of our eyes. Different kinds of foods and nutrition sources can help to manage the risk or even progression of many eye diseases that cause vision loss and blindness.

Beyond preventing disease and illness, many important nutrients maintain and improve the general functioning of the eye. Your eyes use nutrients to create vision: with the right nutritional ingredients, you can discover just how much your health and eyesight are intertwined.
