Deteriorating vision is a major a side effect of our modern lifestyle that limits our time outside in daylight
and staring at screens is a common cause of blurred vision, short-sightedness, and other eye problems
Nutrients that are important for the prevention of macular degeneration — the primary cause of blindness in North America — includes lutein, zeaxanthin, omega-3 fat, vitamin D, and antioxidants
Macular degeneration and cataracts are largely driven by free radical damage, and may in many cases be largely preventable by eating foods rich in antioxidants, such as:

Anthocyanins, found in blueberries, bilberries, and black currants
Lutein and zeaxanthin, found in green leafy vegetables orange and yellow fruits and vegetables.
Research shows those who consume the highest levels of lutein and zeaxanthin have a 40 percent lower risk of advanced wet macular degeneration compared to those who eat the least
High quality animal-based omega-3 fats like those found in krill oil and wild-caught Alaskan salmon
Bioflavonoids found in tea, cherries, and citrus fruits
Vitamin D,primarily created in response to direct sun exposure on bare skin. Vitamin D is particularly important for those with genetic risk factors for macular degeneration ( check your family history ) I am at risk , my mom and grandma both had it … living in the northern hemisphere puts me at risk
