6 Foods for healthy eyes

1. Beyond carrots: You've probably heard that carrots and other orange-colored fruits and vegetables promote eye health and protect vision, and it's true: Beta-carotene, a type of vitamin A that gives these foods their orange hue, helps the retina and other parts of the eye to function smoothly.
 
2. Leafy greens: They're packed with lutein and zeaxanthin—antioxidants that, studies show, lower the risk of developing macular degeneration and cataracts.
 
3. Eggs: The yolk is a prime source of lutein and zeaxanthin—plus zinc, which also helps reduce your macular degeneration risk.
 
4. Citrus and berries: These fruits are powerhouses of vitamin C, which has been shown to reduce the risk of developing macular degeneration and cataracts. 
 
5. Almonds: They're filled with vitamin A, which slows macular degeneration, research show. One handful (an ounce) provides about half of your daily dose of E.
 
6. Fatty fish: Tuna, salmon, mackerel, anchovies and trout are rich in DHA, a fatty acid found in your retina—low levels of which have been linked to dry eye syndrome.
