Vitamin A helps Healthy Eyes and Better Vision
It is well-known that vitamin A is essential for good
vision and eye health in general. The retinal form of vitamin A is concentrated
in the retina. It is needed to convert the light that enters your eyes into
nerve impulses that your brain translates into the words you're reading on the
screen right now. Quite literally, you couldn't be reading about vitamin A
without vitamin A at work inside your eyes.
Retinal is also needed for the creation of the compound
rhodopsin, also called visual purple,that helps your eyes to make out shapes in
the dark. Night blindness is a common symptom of vitamin A deficiency and
increasing your intake of vitamin A rich foods can make a big difference in how
well you see when it’s dark.
