I just want to say something: I had poor eyesight when I was younger but I tried to ignore it because I didn't want glasses or contacts. I did my research and started eating more healthy foods such as red meat and tons of fruits. And my eyesight did improve to the point where I saw very clearly. I had really bad malnutrition so my eyes weren't working like they should have been, so when I started eating all these nutrients they returned to normal. I'm pretty sure it works for some people if they're still young and suffer from the same problem

Hey! Nice to meet you. Thanks for reaching out. I appreciate your support so much and congrats to you as well on your career. How do you like Cali?

If you have a blender, make a smoothie. Recipe: Two cups organic baby spinach, half an orange, 5 chunks pineapple or mango. Chop up some fresh ginger to add. One cup of orange juice or water. Blend till smooth and drink. You can also use blueberries or strawberries. Strawberries are good for the lungs too. Make sure if you eat eggs, get the pasture raised eggs. The yolks are a beautiful orange color full of more vitamins and minerals. The commercial eggs come from chickens in cages or crammed together in pens. They are fed soy and corn diet, also injected with stuff. Pasture raised are roaming free eating of the grass and bugs. I get the organic Vital Farms pasture raised eggs from Whole Foods. You can also make a nice vegetable soup with organic carrots, onions, garlic and mushrooms. I use organic baby Bella and Shiitake which is good for lowering blood pressure. Also get some organic bone broth like Pacific unsalted chicken bone broth. Sauté veggies in extra virgin olive oil in large soup pot or Dutch oven. Add bone broth and bring to a rolling boil, then turn down flame and simmer with lid on for 30 minutes. Add peas towards the end or spinach or kale. Forgot about canned Salmon and Tuna good for eyes with Omega 3 fatty acids. Also canned sardines which have good source of iodine. Get the Wild Planet salmon and sardines. All there canned fish is wild caught. Don’t forget avocados, good source of vitamins E, A, C, b7, b5, b12. 58 milligrams of magnesium, and more potassium than a banana. Not to mention biotin’s. Mash it up with sea salt, chopped up garlic and fresh lime juice. I spread mine on a toasted whole wheat club roll. You can put slices of eggs or lettuce.

What about blueberries? I have been told that wild blueberries, especially, are very good for your eyes.

She gave good advice on nutrition, but she left out one huge fact that the world is never given by doctors. The body has a number one enemy that is the main source of numerous health issues, and that is processed sugar. When you eliminate all processed sugar from your diet, you will begin to reap the health benefits beginning with weight loss. And if you remain steadfast in this plan, your eyes will begin to work better as well, as long as you haven't gone too far in your sugar consumption, and caused permanent irreversible damage. Stop drinking all soda. Stop eating sugar filled desserts, candy bars, and anything that contains sugar. This the best medical advice a doctor can give you, and many of them are trained to NOT tell you this.
