The eyes are said to be most important than all other Indriyas. They are considered as the reflectors of the mind. It is unique organ in the body where the course as well as pathophysiology of disease process is visible, effect of therapeutic agents can very well be assessed and if needed documented. Every person should try to protect his eye always throughout his life, because the world is useless for the day is as night for persons who are blind, though they might possess plenty of wealth. Nutrition plays a big role in vision health and its function depends on the nutrients from foods. Most people are aware of role of vitamins and nutrition can play in preventing health problems like cancer and heart diseases. But not has many people are aware that most chronic eye diseases are also related to foods we eat. Our eyes benefit from good nutrition in the same way other parts of our body .Vitamins are organic compounds which are not synthesized in the body hence have to be obtained from food. Deficiency of certain eye vitamins may cause eye disorders and impair vision.
