The effect of spending time on a computer and phone for a long time falls on our eyes. If your eyes start blurring while working, then understand that the health of the eyes is getting affected.

For this, it is very important to have a proper and balanced diet. A balanced diet helps in improving the condition of the eyes.

Sometimes, not eating nutritious foods causes problems like dryness in the eyes, lack of light and cataracts. Many vitamins, minerals and antioxidants are essential for your eyes.

Lifestyle coach nutritionist Anjali Mukherjee writes in an Instagram post, "We all have faced problems like burning, itching, fatigue, watery eyes at some point or the other. These problems can be due to nutritional deficiency. If you want to have good eye health, then make your diet nutritious. Let us know in detail about this from nutritionist Anjali Mukherjee.

1. Consume Vitamin-A

Vitamin-A is important for good vision. You get it from coriander, carrot, fenugreek, spinach juice as well as egg yolk, mutton liver, and red and yellow fruits. On the other hand, sweet potato, mango, papaya, pumpkin, cheese, cherry, watermelon etc. are good sources of Vitamin-A. For good and sharp eyesight, you must include these things in your diet.

2. Consume Vitamin-E

Vitamin E neutralizes oxidation in the body. This means that there is an imbalance of free radicals and antioxidants in the body, which leads to cell damage. This is the reason why it is also considered good for the eyes. Cataracts are believed to form due to oxidation in the lens of the eye, mostly caused by UV rays in sunlight. For this, you should eat plenty of dry fruits in your diet. Nuts like almonds, walnuts, peanuts, and cashews can prove to be beneficial for you. In addition, it would be good to consume spinach, asparagus and sesame seeds.

3. Consume Vitamin- B2

Another vitamin that is considered important for eye health is vitamin B2 or riboflavin. It helps in reducing oxidative stress in the body and removes all the problems of the eyes. Include almonds, alfalfa sprouts, soybeans, sesame seeds, lentils, spinach and broccoli in your diet to get this vitamin.

4. Consume Calcium

Cheese, milk, curd, chickpeas, kidney beans, soybeans, almonds, eggs, walnuts, oats, jowar etc. are all things which are considered good sources of calcium. Calcium doesn't just keep your bones strong, it's also important for your vision and eye health.

Keep these tips in mind as well-

Along with making your diet balanced, there are many habits that you should change. Our bad lifestyle, spending more time on the computer and phone also makes a difference to the eyes, so pay attention to these things along with diet.

  • Exercise regularly. If you spend a lot of time on the computer, take breaks in between and also do eye exercises.
  • If you are wearing glasses, get them checked every 6-8 months. Always wear your glasses and don't scroll the phone, TV or computer without them.
  • Before applying to the eyes, wash your hands thoroughly. The germs on the hands also affect the health of the eyes.
  • If you are going out in the sun, then definitely wear sunglasses. Wear sunglasses that protect your eyes from 80-98 percent of UV rays.
  • Avoid smoking. It affects your overall health. Due to this, you can have serious health issues and your eyesight can become weak.

If you want that there is no effect on your eyesight, then keep your diet balanced. Additionally, avoid indulging in activities that may strain the eyes.
