EYE DISORDERS
CONSUME PLENTY OF
· Carrots and sweet potatoes for beta carotene.
· Citrus fruits and broccoli for vitamin C.
· Fatty fish and diary products for vitamin A.
· Vegetable oils and almonds for vitamin E.
· Seafood, meat, poultry, and beans for zinc.
· Leafy greens, peas, corn, peppers for lutein and zeaxanthin.

LIMIT
Saturated fats.

The role of antioxidant nutrients and bioflavonoids in version loss and other degenerative problems associated with aging is becoming increasingly clear. With advancing age, the production of free radicals, those unstable molecules that from when the body cause eye damage similar to that resulting from exposure to radiation, and can also contribute to such disorders as cataracts and macular degeneration.

AGE-RELATED DISORDERS
Cataracts develop when the lens, the transparent membrane that allows light to enter the eye, yellows, hindering the passage of light rays through it. Vision becomes hazy, cloudy, or blurry; if untreated, the lens may become completely opaque, resulting in blindness.
Although aging is the most common cause of cataracts, they can occur at any time of life, even in infancy. Smoking and diabetes can hasten their development. But a diet that provides ample antioxidants-in particular, vitamins C and E and the carotenoid lutein-appears to slow their progression.
Macular degeneration, another eye disease that comes with aging, is one of the most common causes of legal blindness among older. It entails a gradual, painless deterioration of the macula, the tissue in the central portion of the retina. The first symptom is usually blurring of central vision but eventually side vision but eventually side vision can also become limited. The cause of macular degeneration is unknown, but recent research suggests that a diet high in antioxidant nutrients may help prevent or slow the disorder.

DIABETIC RETINOPATHY
Certain similarities between macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy-the infiltration of the retina with tiny ruptured blood vessels-suggest that antioxidant nutrients may also be beneficial in this common complication of diabetes. Diet is critical in maintaining tight control of blood glucose levels, which also reduces the risk of diabetic retinopathy.

NIGHT BLINDNESS
The eyes need vitamin A or its precursor, beta carotene, as well as bioflavonoids, to make the pigments that absorb light within the eye. A deficiency in vitamin A, or a failure to utilize it properly, impairs the eye’s ability to adapt to darkness and leads to night vision, but rather difficulty seeing, well in dim lighting.
Failing night vision should not be self-treated with vitamin A or beta carotene supplements; the problem may stem from a digestive or malabsorption disorder that prevent the body from using the vitamin. Treatment of the underlying cause usually cures the night blindness.

CONJUNCTIVITIS
Commonly called pink eye, conjunctivitis is an irritation or infection of the membrane that lines the front of the eyeball and eyelid.
Viruses are responsible for most conjunctivitis, but in recurring cases an allergic reaction may be the cause.
