Your diet can have a big impact on vision. Foods rich in vitamins A, C, E, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants help support healthy eyes and may reduce the risk of age-related eye conditions. Think leafy greens, colourful vegetables, oily fish, nuts, and citrus fruits for a vision-friendly plate.
