Rosemary:

Eat all red and orange vegetables and fruits....Vit A and beta Cs should do the trick. Carrot juices are best, but do what you can do. ONLY ORGANIC, and farmfresh if possible.

Raw eggs, if you are able to eat animal products, are also a great source of nutrients for the eyes. BUT ONLY IF YOU ARE OK EATING FARMFRESH, ORGANIC, FERTILE EGGS, SHAKEN NOT MIXED.

Blissed be,

Annie

What is it specifically about your eyesight?

Deterioration of eyesight can have many causes, ranging from ordinary aging to a variety of ailments, with the ailments themselves ranging from minor to very serious.

Your best bet is to see a real health professional - an optometrist or ophthalmologist.

Don't waste any time with the natural hygiene diet-doctors. They are incompetent.

Try getting more sunlight into your eyes at morning and evening hours.

rosemary,

To know if you are missing any vital nutrients, you will have to share with us what your daily menu looks like.

For example, can you list what you ate at each meal for a few days in a row?

I would go to an eye doctor first. See what's going on. Maybe it isn't the raw food diet and it's just a coincidence. It's best to get it looked at. Your eyes are super important. There are important vitamins for your eyes. I know you can get many from eating carrots. Not sure about others. It's worth the effort to find out =)
Good luck.

many thanks. my vision is blurring up- short sightedness. my glasses are no longer strong enough. yes i will see an optometrist- and i thought there was no such thing as aging. I add 1 teaspoon of dried bilberries in my smoothies often, am trying to increase the protein, now as Annie suggested...and am supplementing with beta carotene, C & E. My diet is pretty rounded, lots of fruit and veg, sprouts, seeds. It might be the Armour thyroid medication I am taking!
