Proper nutrition is important for maintaining overall eye health and preventing eye diseases in children. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables, particularly those high in vitamins A, C, and E, as well as omega-3 fatty acids, can help to promote healthy eye development and function. Vitamin A is essential for the normal functioning of the retina, vitamin C helps to protect the eyes from damage caused by free radicals, and vitamin E helps to protect cell membranes from oxidative damage. Omega-3 fatty acids are important for maintaining the health of the retina. A deficiency in any of these nutrients can lead to eye problems, such as night blindness, dry eyes, and even blindness.
