Eyes and weak eyesight

See a doctor if

• You suddenly cannot see from one or both eyes, or suddenly have severe eye pain
• Blurred or double vision, flashing lights, or a dark shadow moving across your vision
• A red, painful eye, or eyes that hurt in bright light

Foods

• Carrot (strong): vitamin A prevents night blindness when you are short of it; it does not sharpen normal eyesight
• Sweet potato (strong): vitamin A; same limit as carrot
• Moringa leaves (strong): vitamin A; same limit as carrot
• Mango (strong): vitamin A; same limit as carrot
• Spinach (some): lutein; the trial used supplements in people with macular degeneration
• Eggs (boiled) (some): lutein; the trial used supplements in people with macular degeneration

A suggestion, not a diagnosis. Check with your doctor, especially if you're pregnant, on medication or managing a condition.
