If you have a blender, make a smoothie. Recipe: Two cups organic baby spinach, half an orange, 5 chunks pineapple or mango. Chop up some fresh ginger to add. One cup of orange juice or water. Blend till smooth and drink. You can also use blueberries or strawberries. Strawberries are good for the lungs too. Make sure if you eat eggs, get the pasture raised eggs. The yolks are a beautiful orange color full of more vitamins and minerals. The commercial eggs come from chickens in cages or crammed together in pens. They are fed soy and corn diet, also injected with stuff. Pasture raised are roaming free eating of the grass and bugs. I get the organic Vital Farms pasture raised eggs from Whole Foods. You can also make a nice vegetable soup with organic carrots, onions, garlic and mushrooms. I use organic baby Bella and Shiitake which is good for lowering blood pressure. Also get some organic bone broth like Pacific unsalted chicken bone broth. Sauté veggies in extra virgin olive oil in large soup pot or Dutch oven. Add bone broth and bring to a rolling boil, then turn down flame and simmer with lid on for 30 minutes. Add peas towards the end or spinach or kale. Forgot about canned Salmon and Tuna good for eyes with Omega 3 fatty acids. Also canned sardines which have good source of iodine. Get the Wild Planet salmon and sardines. All there canned fish is wild caught. Don’t forget avocados, good source of vitamins E, A, C, b7, b5, b12. 58 milligrams of magnesium, and more potassium than a banana. Not to mention biotin’s. Mash it up with sea salt, chopped up garlic and fresh lime juice. I spread mine on a toasted whole wheat club roll. You can put slices of eggs or lettuce.
I just want to say something: I had poor eyesight when I was younger but I tried to ignore it because I didn't want glasses or contacts. I did my research and started eating more healthy foods such as red meat and tons of fruits. And my eyesight did improve to the point where I saw very clearly. I had really bad malnutrition so my eyes weren't working like they should have been, so when I started eating all these nutrients they returned to normal. I'm pretty sure it works for some people if they're still young and suffer from the same problem
@@DrRupaWong 1. My memory tells me that blueberries contain proanthocyanids. 2. I'm > 60, myopic, 20/60 & 20/80, w/o eye health issues, so is taking the zeaxanthins, lutein and black currant extract worth it? 3. You're such a sweetheart! Thank you so much for your channel. Goodbye.
I used to eat tons of carrots as a kid, voluntarily - loved them and growing up, my mother used to say I would always have great eyesight. Grew up on sardines, leafy greens, too. Mediterranean diet, basically. Fast forward to now - 60 year old with thinning retinas. A retina break was found last week and I have high Myopia, too. This sucks. No one else in family has this. What the heck happened. Non smoker, too. Is there Anything we can do at this stage to preserve what is left??
Glad it was helpful! I am glad you like those foods. I wish you all the best! If you have any other questions you would like me to address please feel free to leave a suggestion anytime.
Moringa has 10 times as much vitamin A as carrots. Even though it's a green plant (tree). Aronia is also a lot higher in it's antioxidant effect than orange. It has a substance called OPC which boosts vitamin C (which it also has) by a factor of 10. Aronia is a lot more potent than orange in it's antioxidant effects.
The best food item for a healthy eye vision is Cod liver fish oil. It's rich in Vitamin A, D, Omega 3 and so on. Carrots are also very good for your eyesight, rich in vitamin A. Apple is also good overall health giving fruit.👍👍👍👍👍👍.
@@tacklesickle I am so glad you are here! Best of luck with your medical journey. If you ever have any questions or video suggestions please leave a comment letting me know. 😁
I get lots of sunlight for my intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglial cell health. Took me two days to learn that one! Hope you are impressed.....Just passed my drivers eye test at 68 yrs old, the first time since my twenties. I ate terrible then and was night vision challenged. Not now. Thanks for the good info.kiwis are great source of C and don't forget the bilberry.
Dear Dr. Wong, Helping your own three kids with effective myopia prevention, is the most powerful scientific statement you could ever make. We all learn from you! Thank you!
Hi Rupa! I just found your channel today. I'm a fellow physician (internist), UA-camr, and mom as well! Love your videos and content. Congrats on your success! I actually grew up in Oahu! Now I'm in southern California.
She gave good advice on nutrition, but she left out one huge fact that the world is never given by doctors. The body has a number one enemy that is the main source of numerous health issues, and that is processed sugar. When you eliminate all processed sugar from your diet, you will begin to reap the health benefits beginning with weight loss. And if you remain steadfast in this plan, your eyes will begin to work better as well, as long as you haven't gone too far in your sugar consumption, and caused permanent irreversible damage. Stop drinking all soda. Stop eating sugar filled desserts, candy bars, and anything that contains sugar. This the best medical advice a doctor can give you, and many of them are trained to NOT tell you this.
What a wonderful video presentation Dr. Wong :) I used to live in Kailua while I was stationed at Tripler. I will continue to watch your fantastic presentations 😊
Thank you so much, Anthony!! How did you like your time in Kailua? If you ever have any topics you would like me to create videos on please leave your suggestions.
Great information! I ate more veggies as a kid. Grew up and diet suffered. I have AMD that slowly progressed to flashes. Recently started green smoothies and added sardines and more sweet potato. almost immediately the flashes stopped! If I skip 2 days, they return. Drs keep saying things are ok, but this has been a slow progression over 10 years. If Drs had recommended supplements or diet, I would have followed their advice!
I found out 2 weeks before Christmas time last year that I have mild cataracts in both eyes and I was devastated 😢 and very worried when I found out. I'm 59 years old and I will turn 60 on November 12th this year. I asked my eye doctor what I could do to slow down the progress of the cataracts and he said to wear sunglasses out in the sun, cut out the sugar, change my eating habits by eating fresh vegetables, fruits, eggs, nuts, etc... I did change everything I could to help my eyes and I quit drinking can cokes and Pepsi's and also I cut out all the sugar much as I. Could to my diet.i wear prescriptions sunglasses out in the Sun.? I also have lost 20 pounds to during this life change routine and I do feel much better. Is there anything else that I can do to slow down these cataracts? I appreciate any advice that you can give me. thank you❤
@@theresalynch551 i don't know how things work over there, in terms of medical coverage but you shouldn't worry that much. Cataract removal is an easy intervention inchallah. Lose your excess weight, eat spinach, sweet potatoes etc... And when the time comes you'll the intervention. Don't worry
You can reverse cataracts by taking your carbohydrates to max 25g a day. I.e. cut them out of your diet and any of them you get will be only from vegs and low glycemic index fruits like berries.
Dr. You are 100% correct I have tested some of foods you have mentioned and I seen the difference myself Thank you for that important information and more importantly it’s the truth.good fortune to you Dr. Thanks again very good video.
My special thanks for your invaluable message Dr. Rupa Wong. At least I am being equipped with a few tips from you to keep both my eyes healthy. Eye sight is of vital important to each and everyone of us. Will try to follow your advice with due care and attention. You are a kindhearted professional eye specialist. God bless you and family.

YOUR SPEECH IS SO EASY-FLOWING. I'M NOT USED TO THINKING OF DOCTORS AS PEOPLE WHO IMPRESS ME, BY THEIR WAY OF SPEAKING. I HAPPENED TO BE THINKING, TODAY, SINCE I GOT UP, THIS MORNING, OF A FORMER CLASSMATE, WHO'S AN EYE DOCTOR. WELL, HIS WAY OF SPEAKING DOES GET ONE'S ATTENTION. THERE'S A WORD HE'S KNOWN FOR, MOSTLY, IN FRENCH, MEANING "PERFECT", WHICH IS "PARFAIT", FOR THE WAY HE SAYS IT, AS IF AN ACTOR IN A DRAMATIC PLAY, RATHER WITH A FUNNY EFFECT. IN SCHOOL, I KNEW HIM TO BE QUITE ELOQUENT. TODAY, I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE TIME WHEN I WAS "CLASS PRESIDENT", UNDERTAKING THE TASK OF PUBLISHING A KIND OF CLASS MAGAZINE, A TRADITIONAL THING, IN THAT CLASS. WHAT DID I KNOW ABOUT HOW TO FULFILL THAT TASK, AS CLASS PRESIDENT? NOTHING. LUCKY FOR ME, A FEW STUDENTS OFFERED THEIR KNOWLEDGE. HE WAS ONE OF THEM. WE MET AT HIS HOUSE. AND, THINGS GOT ORGANIZED. I ONLY TAKE CREDIT FOR THE EDITORIAL. AND, NOT QUITE : MY TEXT GOT TRANSFORMED, A TEACHER EDITED IT, MADE IT BE DIFFERENT, IN ESSENCE. EVER SINCE, I ALWAYS WONDERED ABOUT EDITORS. WHERE'S MY TEXT? SO, THE MAGAZINE GOT PUBLISHED, WITH SUCCESS. THANKS TO BRIGHT FELLOWS WHO KNEW ABOUT THAT SORT OF THINGS. THAT LEFT A POSITIVE IMPRESSION, IN MY MIND, ABOUT THAT CLASSMATE OF MINE, WHO'S AN EYE DOCTOR. THE REASON WHY I THOUGHT OF HIM, TODAY, IS OTHER THAN EYE TREATMENT. AND, WHEN I SAW YOUR VIDEO, I GOT INTERESTED. SIMPLE COINCIDENCE. OR NOT.
@@DrRupaWong I have talked to my eye doctor about it, but she didn't say much. I just need to save up some more, and then hopefully in about 2 yrs I'll just get lasik eye surgery
Fruits for the most part are sugar bombs ,That spike Insulin levels. sugar is super bad on your eyes. and well as all other heath I laid of the fruit and wow the fat come off and I felt better.
My skin has turned orange from eating some of these foods (which doesn't bother me). My question is - is my body not absorbing the Vitamin A properly and if not what can i do about it.
The best food for the eyes are animal eyes.... such as fish eyes, chicken eyes, beef eyes... all eyes. I like sautéed eyes. That will help you keep 20/20 vision. Guaranteed.

I have issues of dryness with floaters,and build up with a mucous discharge, in which makes vision blurry, also buildup as resembles popping acne,went to several, docs one told me it could be possible protein build up ,but they were unaware of a cure or cause, please advise thanks for sharing your expertise on the eye health.
Hlo dr thanks for your valuable information And one more question I have squint (eyes only in right) so can you suggest any diet plan or excersise.i have suffered many problems in my life through this eyes.iam 20 years now till i suffer more problems.iam waiting for your repley
I'm 48 years old male from India i had thyroid eye disease. I got decompression surgery done to reduce inflammation followed by radiation. Ever since the radiation i have scars on both my corneas as a result of that i have a blurry vision. Please advice
I will work on a video about how to reduce blurry vision. Make sure you are subscribed and click the bell so you see when I post. Thank you for the suggestion!
I do not think food has any effect, unless you are starving. Only you using Atropine on your own children will be effective for life time prevention. More power to you!
India eats the most fruits and vegetables yet the have the highest vision loss. What is missing from normal Indian diet? Meat! Maybe meat is better for your eyes than fruits and vegetables.
You need to eat Beef,because beef has super health benefits... Even for eyes and many other things and fights inflammation. So only vegetables are not enough to get enough things that good for body.
Thank you. I am a wildlife photographer and I really need my eyes to be A1....85 yo. I use to be myopic and wore glasses---for some reason I no longer need glasses for distance. Could it be that the eye muscles loosen with age? But I do need glasses for night driving. I eat sardines and salmon..avocados, etc...all the good stuff....but will add more green leafies. A salad every evening with lots of olive oil, etc....I have noticed a floater, but it doesn't bother me...Again, thanks.
Hi i just want to ask if it is possible that it will come back to normal if i have central vision problem? Like in the video that i saw. There is black part in the middle of the eye. Coz i went to the doctor and the results are all ok. Even FFA i did the result is normal. Thanks
@@DrRupaWong I've been on AREDS 2 for about 2 years when my doc said I have MD. I'm 71, and I can say my vision is still fine. Each visit at 6-months intervals he's said all looks good and keep taking it. My motorcycle riding has NOT been affected. Thanks for your informative videos!

Am literally coming back from optomology after a cancelled appointment by my consultant👿 and this vid gets recommended by YT😂. I had a massive aclusion in my eye from high blood pressure 3 years ago. I get the black dot in my bad eye some mornings when I have another aclusion. The consultant said its fluid. Do you think you advice in this video can help my eye too. Maybe you mentioned it but have the volume off on the bus 😉
I'm so sorry your appointment got cancelled! Were you able to reschedule? Eating these foods is always helpful for overall eye and body health. Thank you for watching!
@@DrRupaWong Hi yes it was. Its the hospital appointment people who are causing me problems. My consultant gave me his secretary's number to contact from now on. Thanks I will follow your advice 😀👍
I noticed when viewing my ipad at a certain angle it gets too bright for my eyes. It used to never be like this. I've noticed this for several months now . Same for when a car shines his head lights during the night or at dawn .

Very welcome. Thank you, Wendy!
YOUR SPEECH IS SO EASY-FLOWING. I'M NOT USED TO THINKING OF DOCTORS AS PEOPLE WHO IMPRESS ME, BY THEIR WAY OF SPEAKING. I HAPPENED TO BE THINKING, TODAY, SINCE I GOT UP, THIS MORNING, OF A FORMER CLASSMATE, WHO'S AN EYE DOCTOR. WELL, HIS WAY OF SPEAKING DOES GET ONE'S ATTENTION. THERE'S A WORD HE'S KNOWN FOR, MOSTLY, IN FRENCH, MEANING "PERFECT", WHICH IS "PARFAIT", FOR THE WAY HE SAYS IT, AS IF AN ACTOR IN A DRAMATIC PLAY, RATHER WITH A FUNNY EFFECT. IN SCHOOL, I KNEW HIM TO BE QUITE ELOQUENT. TODAY, I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE TIME WHEN I WAS "CLASS PRESIDENT", UNDERTAKING THE TASK OF PUBLISHING A KIND OF CLASS MAGAZINE, A TRADITIONAL THING, IN THAT CLASS. WHAT DID I KNOW ABOUT HOW TO FULFILL THAT TASK, AS CLASS PRESIDENT? NOTHING. LUCKY FOR ME, A FEW STUDENTS OFFERED THEIR KNOWLEDGE. HE WAS ONE OF THEM. WE MET AT HIS HOUSE. AND, THINGS GOT ORGANIZED. I ONLY TAKE CREDIT FOR THE EDITORIAL. AND, NOT QUITE : MY TEXT GOT TRANSFORMED, A TEACHER EDITED IT, MADE IT BE DIFFERENT, IN ESSENCE. EVER SINCE, I ALWAYS WONDERED ABOUT EDITORS. WHERE'S MY TEXT? SO, THE MAGAZINE GOT PUBLISHED, WITH SUCCESS. THANKS TO BRIGHT FELLOWS WHO KNEW ABOUT THAT SORT OF THINGS. THAT LEFT A POSITIVE IMPRESSION, IN MY MIND, ABOUT THAT CLASSMATE OF MINE, WHO'S AN EYE DOCTOR. THE REASON WHY I THOUGHT OF HIM, TODAY, IS OTHER THAN EYE TREATMENT. AND, WHEN I SAW YOUR VIDEO, I GOT INTERESTED. SIMPLE COINCIDENCE. OR NOT.
Thank you so much!
I need food that restores vision 😒
But this is still super helpful to prevent my vision from getting worse
I'm glad this was helpful at least a little bit. Have you seen a doctor for restoring vision?
@@DrRupaWong I have talked to my eye doctor about it, but she didn't say much. I just need to save up some more, and then hopefully in about 2 yrs I'll just get lasik eye surgery
Fruits for the most part are sugar bombs ,That spike Insulin levels. sugar is super bad on your eyes. and well as all other heath I laid of the fruit and wow the fat come off and I felt better.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Mike!
Hi Doc, what do you think of Dr. Chris Knobbe's presentations on macular degen?
Great question! I will think about this some more and add this to my video suggestions. Thank you!
How about nuts? I understand walnuts, almonds and pecans are pretty good for eye health.
Nuts are definitely a healthy option especially for a snack option!
I thought we had busted the Ansel keys myth of “ Fat is Bad” and is very much needed in our diet
You're right, fat is necessary, but only in small quantities.
Absolutely correct!
100 percent Carrot Juice contains 1,000 mcg of Vitamin A per serving, The Eye & Skin Vitamin
Thanks for sharing!
My skin has turned orange from eating some of these foods (which doesn't bother me). My question is - is my body not absorbing the Vitamin A properly and if not what can i do about it.
Hey Georgina! You would definitely need some testing done by your doctor to confirm what is causing that. I hope you can find your answer soon!
That must be Carotenemia and is harmless.
Thank you Dr. Rupa
Thank you!!
The best food for the eyes are animal eyes.... such as fish eyes, chicken eyes, beef eyes... all eyes. I like sautéed eyes. That will help you keep 20/20 vision. Guaranteed.
Thanks for sharing what works for you!
I found the video. Very informative and useful.. Thanks doctor. All the best for the future..
I'm so glad you found this useful, Dale. Thank you so much and same to you!

Main thing is spinach and kale above all the others!

Can you please give us advice on what dressing would be the healthiest? If you know more than one recipe that would go good with salad. Thank you!
Good information Dr.😊
So nice of you! Do you think you'll start eating anymore of these foods? Thank you for being here.💕

I'm 48 years old male from India i had thyroid eye disease. I got decompression surgery done to reduce inflammation followed by radiation. Ever since the radiation i have scars on both my corneas as a result of that i have a blurry vision. Please advice
I will work on a video about how to reduce blurry vision. Make sure you are subscribed and click the bell so you see when I post. Thank you for the suggestion!
Love this thank you
Thanks for the support 💕💕
What do you do if your GI tract cannot digest raw vegetables?
Also is massaging the soles of feet beneficial for eyes . I have read somewhere that optic nerve is connected with it . Am I right ?
Thanks Dr Rupa God bless you ❤️❤️
Same to you!
I do not think food has any effect, unless you are starving.
Only you using Atropine on your own children will be effective for life time prevention.
More power to you!
And Diabetes Type 2 hopefully this video will help me out
Thanks for watching! I hope it helps!
Please do vitamins give the same results?
Great question!! Here is my video on vitamins/supplements - ua-cam.com/video/5ffBUxuLmBo/v-deo.html
Thank you doctor for that information
Of course!
hi sis, ur videos truly inspire me.
Thank you! That means a lot to me.
India eats the most fruits and vegetables yet the have the highest vision loss. What is missing from normal Indian diet? Meat! Maybe meat is better for your eyes than fruits and vegetables.
Hmmmm, everything should be considered. Not sure about that though. Thanks for sharing. I always love to hear others thoughts!
You need to eat Beef,because beef has super health benefits... Even for eyes and many other things and fights inflammation. So only vegetables are not enough to get enough things that good for body.
Thank you. I am a wildlife photographer and I really need my eyes to be A1....85 yo. I use to be myopic and wore glasses---for some reason I no longer need glasses for distance. Could it be that the eye muscles loosen with age? But I do need glasses for night driving. I eat sardines and salmon..avocados, etc...all the good stuff....but will add more green leafies. A salad every evening with lots of olive oil, etc....I have noticed a floater, but it doesn't bother me...Again, thanks.
If I am eating pineapple 🍍 does it have sugar but I can eat it or not ?
Yes, you can eat fruits, unless you have other medical reasons you should not.
Hi i just want to ask if it is possible that it will come back to normal if i have central vision problem? Like in the video that i saw. There is black part in the middle of the eye. Coz i went to the doctor and the results are all ok. Even FFA i did the result is normal. Thanks
Is it satisfactory to put any of these items in the vitamix and drink them or do they have to be cooked?
Sure, you can blend up the fruits/veggies. You probably don't want to blend up fish. Haha!
My eye doctor has me on AREDS 2, which has lots of C, E, zinc and copper.
Thanks for sharing that, Randy! How long have you been on that? Do you feel that it is helping?
@@DrRupaWong I've been on AREDS 2 for about 2 years when my doc said I have MD. I'm 71, and I can say my vision is still fine. Each visit at 6-months intervals he's said all looks good and keep taking it. My motorcycle riding has NOT been affected. Thanks for your informative videos!
@@RandyHouk Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Just looking at the lovely doc has improved my vision !!!! 😊😍
You're too sweet, Shashi!
Great video Dr wong
Thank you, Manuel!
Thanks for the information
Glad to help!
Can we use rose water during cleaning our eyes ? .
Hi Dr itis easy and presentation is good and thanks for your video.
I'm so glad you enjoyed this video. Thank you so much for watching and letting me know. If you ever have anything else you would like me to post about just let me know!
Thank you teacher
My pleasure! Thank you for watching!
Am literally coming back from optomology after a cancelled appointment by my consultant👿 and this vid gets recommended by YT😂. I had a massive aclusion in my eye from high blood pressure 3 years ago. I get the black dot in my bad eye some mornings when I have another aclusion. The consultant said its fluid. Do you think you advice in this video can help my eye too. Maybe you mentioned it but have the volume off on the bus 😉
I'm so sorry your appointment got cancelled! Were you able to reschedule? Eating these foods is always helpful for overall eye and body health. Thank you for watching!
@@DrRupaWong Hi yes it was. Its the hospital appointment people who are causing me problems. My consultant gave me his secretary's number to contact from now on. Thanks I will follow your advice 😀👍
Do you scrub for surgery with Nail varnish/ false nails? In Uk this is not permitted. Just curious?
The Doc is cool.👍
Aw, thank you so much!!
I noticed when viewing my ipad at a certain angle it gets too bright for my eyes. It used to never be like this. I've noticed this for several months now . Same for when a car shines his head lights during the night or at dawn .
If you're concerned, always go get an exam. I hope you're able to find something that help you with this! Thank you so much for being apart of my UA-cam community!
It's fun to watch, thanks for the info!
I have floater in my right eye and i have macular degeneration.what food to eat to get rid of floater please. Thanks
