The Best Vegetables for Your Eye Health

Updated July 2022

You've likely heard that carrots are a great source of beta carotene, but did you know that there are other eye nutrients that will help improve your vision health?

Green vegetables are an excellent source of lutein, zeaxanthin, and vitamin C that can help boost your vision health. Darker shades of green, leafy vegetables will typically have more nutrients than lighter shades of green. Vegetables with higher levels of lutein and zeaxanthin include the following:  

  • broccoli
  • brussels sprouts
  • celery 
  • collards
  • green beans
  • kale
  • leaf lettuce
  • peas
  • spinach

    If you are one of the many people who find it hard to eat green vegetables, there are other veggies that have high levels of lutein and zeaxanthin, as well as vitamin C. These include:

    • carrots
    • chili peppers
    • corn
    • leeks
    • squash
    • sweet peppers
    • sweet potatoes
    • tomatoes
    • yams


      Including these vegetables in your diet can help you get the important nutrients your body needs, but sometimes a busy lifestyle makes it hard to keep up with food and nutrition. A multivitamin blend supplement can be added to your daily routine to help assure you are getting the nutrients you need to support immunity and an overall healthy lifestyle. Focus Multivitamin Gummies can help boost energy levels, support skin and heart health, and maintain or improve overall health.
