Everyone knows carrots promote eye health. They’re a good source of beta-carotene, which the body uses to make vitamin A. Having too little vitamin A can lead to night blindness. But your eyes need other nutrients to stay healthy, too. Add foods like red and yellow peppers, kale and lettuce to your shopping list for better eye health.
