While a poor diet, or one lacking in certain vitamins and minerals can contribute to a variety of health issues, what most people don’t understand is that their food choices can highly affect eye health as well. According to surgical neuro-ophthalmologist Howard R. Krauss from the Providence Saint John’s Health Center in California, “vegans should take vitamins to prevent B-12 deficiency blindness.” He also claims that “excessive alcohol intake” and “[certain] medical conditions reduce vitamin absorption.” A well-balanced diet that feeds the proper minerals to the body, eyes included, can help insure better and proper vision in the long run.
