Research suggests that people age 65 or older could preserve the health of their retinas by getting lots of vitamin C, zeaxanthin, and alpha-tocopherol (a form of vitamin E). Luckily, a veggie-rich salad bar can load you up on all three.
A study of older people revealed that low levels of key antioxidants were associated with higher rates of a certain kind of macular degeneration, a sight-robbing disease.
Hats and sunglasses can help guard your eyes as well.
