4 New Year's Resolutions for Eye Health

1. Eat Right
Eating a sugary, fried and red meat diet isn't just bad for your heart and longevity. The same foods that trigger inflammatory mediators in the rest of your body adversely affect the delicate tissues of the eye, especially the macula which is responsible for detailed vision.

2. Shop Right
Stick to the perimeter of your grocery store as much as you can, avoiding the white pasta, white sugar, white rice, white grains, white breads, and white flour offerings in the middle. Those foods all have high glycemic indices, which means they cause a rapid rise in blood sugar levels.

3. See your Eye Doctor regularly
Even if you don't require eyeglasses, that has very little to do with your eye health. See your eye doctor at least once per year, more frequently if you have glaucoma, diabetes, macular degeneration or other conditions.
