- Eat dark green leafy vegetables like spinach and collards. These contain high amount of lutein and zeaxanthin, the nutrients for healthy eyes.
- Do not smoke. A glass of red wine daily is fine but drinking is not. Stay away from hydrogenated oils, refined carbohydrates and sugars in excess.
- Always wear sunglasses while going out in bright light to avoid potential sun damage to eyes. Amber and grey-coloured lenses are effective against ultraviolet rays.
- See an eye specialist and get prescription glasses for driving at night, if required.
- Do not ride in dim light at night and see if you can postpone the work until next day. Even good lighting conditions at night even in a big city, can be troublesome to someone with night blindness.
- Vitamin A rich foods like spinach, carrot, papaya, broccoli, and mangoes should be added to your daily diet.
- Fish oil is a great source of vitamin A. Cod-liver oil is used as medicine too.
- Some wild plants are said to be rich in vitamin Abut they are seasonal, available in small quantities and there isn’t much known about them.
- Beans are another fairly common source of vitamin A. These are consumed especially during autumn.
- Eggs are a good source of vitamin A. Eat eggs daily. People with high cholesterol should, however, limit their egg intake.
- Hot pepper is contains vitamin A too, but the preservation method, sun-drying, decreases the vitamin A content.
- Carrots are another good source. They are high in vitamin A and arenot expensive as well.
