What we feed our bodies feeds our eyes.

Many of the vitamins and minerals in our bodies are found in much higher concentrations in our eyes, so a diet lacking in these vitamins and minerals can lead to vision problems as we grow older.

Take the time every day to give your eyes (and the rest of your body) the nutritive support they need.

Eat the foods and take the supplements that provide the antioxidant vitamins and minerals your eyes require.

You’ll Protect Your Eyesight, ensuring years of good eye health, and increasing the odds that you’ll avoid blindness or vision loss for the rest of your life.

Answers

1. a. The American Optometric Association (AOA) recommends that an infant be examined before his or her first birthday.

2. d. All of these conditions, as well as brain tumors and cardiovascular disease, are detectable through a comprehensive eye exam.

3. True. The American Optometric Association contributes near-point stress as one of the leading causes of Myopia.

4. c. Bet we caught you out with this one! While your mother was right when she told you carrots are good for your eyes, spinach is a better food for eye health. It would take 4 pounds of carrots to give you the same vision benefits that you get from eating half a cup of cooked spinach four to seven times per week!

5. b. According to the AOA, "A person's eyesight can change rapidly and frequently, particularly in older adults; therefore, it is imperative that adults visit their optometrist at least every other year for a comprehensive eye exam."

6. a. Ironically, sunglasses that have not been treated for UV rays may be more detrimental to your eyes than not wearing sunglasses at all. Because dark lenses reduce the amount of light entering your eyes, your pupils dilate, exposing your eyes to more UV radiation than you would get without wearing sunglasses.

Your eyes will thank you.
