Out of Sight
Vision loss is an inevitable part of aging. What you eat could help forestall it.

A Link Between Carbohydrate Quality and Vision Loss is Strengthened by New Data

Low Carbs Better for Eyesight
Limiting refined carbohydrates may stall age-related macular degeneration.

Study: Some High-Sugar Foods Linked To Vision Loss A recent study by Tufts nutrition researchers found that the development of age-related macular degeneration may be tied to over consumption of certain carbohydrates.
