Kale, Spinach And Collards
Lutein and zeaxanthin are antioxidants that protect and maintain healthy cells -- and they're abundant in these dark, leafy greens. These greens are also high in vitamin A, which is good for the eyes.
Oysters
Zinc deficiency has been linked to impaired vision and poor night vision, as well as cloudy cataracts. But getting plenty of of the nutrient can work wonders, slowing the progression of age-related macular degeneration, which is a common condition in adults age 50 and older. Oysters are a great source of zinc. If they're not exactly your thing, try lobster, salmon, beef or milk instead.
Apricots
Apricots are a good source of beta carotene and lycopene, both carotenoids that can help promote good vision. The body converts beta carotene into vitamin A, which resists damage to cells and tissues, including the eye lens. Continued oxidative stress may result in the development of cataracts or damage the blood supply to the eyes and lead to macular degeneration.
Sweet Potato
A one-cup serving of sweet potato has more than the full daily requirement for vitamin A.
Eggs
Eggs are another food that's relatively high in zinc. They're also a good source of Omega 3 fatty acids and lutein. Eggs don't contain as much of that particular carotenoid as the leafy greens that are also on this list, but the body is able to absorb these antioxidants better from eggs
