Another study spells that consumption of omega-3 fatty acid helps to protect eyes from retinal degeneration and ease the discomfort of dry eyes. Some of the superfood that is nuggets of nutrition that is high in some of these protecting nutrients and pack a powerful nutritional punch, For instance carrots and carotenes, sweet potatoes, strawberries, oranges, almonds and healthy fats, oyster and zinc as well as spinach, salmon and omega-3 fats.Carrots and carotene provides vitamin A and its precursor beta-carotene.
