  In order to keep eye health, you should get more protein, vitamin and trace elements. The rhodopsin in the eye retina is combined by protein. Protein deficiency will lead to insufficient synthesis of rhodopsin, which can lead to visually impaired. So you should supplement some high protein-containing foods. Second, vitamin A is an important material for photosensitive material. Sufficient vitamin A can make your eyes bright. Vitamin C is also important element for the lens of the eye. Third, trace elements are less ten thousandth of the body content, but it has a great effect. Zinc can increase the sensitivity of nerve. Selenium is an important trace element for maintaining the vision. Molybdenum is an element which can ensure us to see the scene clearly. Chromium can affect insulin regulatory function, and we will not have myopia with this element.
