5 Natural Ways To Improve Your Eye Health & Vision
According to a Gallup survey, seven out of ten Americans wear some
type of corrective lenses. 40% of those people have considered laser eye
surgery to correct their vision, but this surgery can permanently damage
vision, as well as cause chronic dry eyes, and other complications. Instead of
opting for a dangerous, irreversible surgery, what if you could use natural
remedies to at least improve your eye health and eyesight, even slightly?
Many natural herbs and plants have been proven to increase eye health, and
while you might not have 20/20 vision after using them, you may have better
eyesight than before, and save yourself from costly bills and a dangerous
surgery.
Saffron, used in many traditional Indian dishes, can also help save
your eyesight and prevent UV radiation damage. It can also slow the progression
of macular degeneration, which eventually leads to blindness. Two compounds
found in saffron believed to improve eye health include safranal and crocin,
members of the carotenoid family. Carotenoids include beta carotene, a type of
Vitamin A that can improve eyesight and also protect against cancer.
The
powerful antioxidant found in France can repair capillaries in the eyes, and
therefore reduce leakage into the retina. Other studies have
found that pycnogenol can also improve microcirculation, increase visual
acuity, and prevent retinal edema. You can find this compound in milk thistle,
which can help maintain a healthy liver. The liver stores fat soluble vitamins,
glutathione, and B vitamins, which all support healthy eyes.
The
gingko plant and its extracts have been used to treat a variety of different
ailments. They’ve shown promise in treating vision problems in
people with diabetes, improving color vision when patients take the extract
orally. Also, it might help improve existing damage to the visual field in
people with glaucoma.
