Your diet plays a major role in protecting your vision. Nutrients like omega-3s, vitamin A, C, E, and zinc help support eye health and may lower the risk of conditions like macular degeneration and dry eye. While whole foods are the best source, supplements may help fill any nutritional gaps. Taking care of your vision starts with what you put on your plate. What’s your go-to eye-healthy food?

Dry, irritated eyes after long hours on screens? You’re not alone. Digital eye strain can reduce tear production, leading to discomfort and fatigue. Simple habits like following the 20-20-20 rule, blinking more often, and adjusting your screen brightness can help reduce symptoms. If dryness persists, artificial tears and professional treatment options are available. Your eyes work hard every day—give them the care they need. #DryEye #DigitalEyeStrain #HealthyVision #MississippiRetina
