10 Best Foods For Your Eyes And Eye Health

3. Carrots

Carrots are rich with vitamin A and beta carotene. Beta carotene helps make vitamin A, which is a necessary component of a protein called rhodopsin. Rhodopsin helps the retina absorb light and adjust to darkness.

4. Legumes

Legumes such as kidney beans, chickpeas, lentils, peanuts, and black-eyed peas are high in zinc, which protects the retinas and helps reduce the risk of macular degeneration and cataracts.
