    A balanced, vision-beneficial diet should include some helpful nutrients, e.g. vitamins, minerals, healthy proteins, omega-3 fatty acids and lutein. In detail, antioxidants including vitamins A, C and E can prevent the oxidation effect in the eye, preventing age-related eye diseases. Dark green or brightly colored fruits and vegetables are rich in antioxidants and lutein can be found in leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale, sweet corn, peas and broccoli. Carrots and squash contain plentiful vitamin A.
