Eat Right to Improve Your Sight

We only get one pair of eyes, so it’s important to take good care of them. What you eat can affect your vision as you age. Supplement your diet with Vitamin C, antioxidants, zinc, beta-carotene, and vitamin E to reduce the risk of developing serious Age-Related Eye Disease. Try out this Spinach Salad recipe – it’s a family favorite from a Gailey Eye Clinic employee with homemade dressing!
