Abstract
Sight or vision is extremely important to human survival. There is mounting evidence that environmental and lifestyle variables contribute to eye problems. Particles, radiation, and pollution can cause damage to the eyes. A high-carbohydrate, high-fat diet, stress, alcohol, screen time, and tobacco all contribute to visual impairment. Myopia, macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataracts, digital eye strain, and choroidal and retinal problems are all impacted. A combination of hyperventilation and environmental factors that produce reactive oxygen species can be harmful to the eyes. Nutrition isn't the only advantage of functional meals. Proper nutrition can help with eye health. The relationship between chemical, nutritional, and functional diets and eye health is discussed in this chapter. Some examples of nutritious foods are dark chocolate, berries, almonds, seeds, green tea, salmon, leafy greens, and omega-3 fatty acids. Diets rich in minerals and antioxidants may help keep eye diseases at bay.
