What Causes Lazy Eye?
7. Diet and Lifestyle Changes to Promote Eye Health
Amblyopia and other eye problems can benefit from diet and lifestyle changes significantly. Quitting smoking is one of the best things to do for you and your child’s eyes because it cuts out the irritation that smoking causes. Additionally, exercising regularly improves blood circulation, which has a positive impact on the eyes.
Too much fat and sugar have a negative effect on the eyes and can contribute to worsening of eye problems. On the other hand, when you eat healthy foods such as vegetables and fruits, you will be supporting the health of your eyes and overall body. Healthy fats such as omega-3 essential fatty acids found in fish and walnuts are also recommended. Also drink plenty of water to minimize eye irritation.
