Foods That Relieve Dry Eyes
Dry eyes can cause irritation and itchiness, and it’s essential to keep them well lubricated. When the tear production reduces, it can lead to dry eyes, and sometimes nutrient deficiency can be a factor. To improve the condition of dry eyes, consider adding these nutrients to your diet:
- Retinol (Vitamin A)
Retinol is the active form of vitamin A and can be found in carrots, eggs, butter, cheese, and fish. - Zinc
Include zinc-rich foods like pumpkin seeds, cashews, and chicken in your diet. - Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Get your omega-3 fix from walnuts, kidney beans, avocados, and salmon.
Ensuring you have a diet rich in these nutrients may help alleviate dry eyes symptoms and improve your eye health.
