Dry Eye : What You Eat Matters
Dr. Whitney Hauser

Eating well is one of the best ways to care for your eyes, particularly if you aim to get a lot of nutrients into your food. Eating vitamins instead of taking them can help to improve eye health, and green leafy vegetables are full of zeaxanthin and lutein, which reduce your risk of eye disease. Vitamin A, which can be found in bright orange and yellow vegetables, is ideal for improving eye health, and fruits that contain vitamin C and antioxidant fight off eye disease. Cold-water fish and salmon also include plenty of omega-3 which is essential for tear production.
