Eli5: Foods “great for vision”

386 viewsBiologyOther

Some foods are noted to be “great for vision” – for example, carrots, mangos, etc.

What does “great for vision” even mean? I wear glasses and am under the assumption that my poor eyesight isn’t going to magically slightly improve by downing foods rich in certain vitamins and minerals.

A lot of eye problems are structural, as in the shape of a part is wrong. Proper nutrition and vitamins can help the organ function it’s best, but they won’t fix the eye’s shape.

Think of how proper nutrition and care can keep skin smooth and healthy and elastic, but no amount of vitamins will fix a patch getting cut off
