Khabarni – Dr. Nurlana Askerova, an ophthalmology specialist, identified food items that can lead to partial loss of the sense of sight.
The specialist points out that malnutrition can cause visual impairment. Therefore, it is possible to maintain eye health and partially avoid vision loss by not consuming excessively some products, including alcohol, bread, and potato chips.
According to her, consuming these substances on a regular basis leads to optic nerve atrophy. “Alcoholic beverages dilate blood vessels, thus increasing pressure on the eyeball,” she says. “Alcohol abuse can lead to partial or complete loss of vision.”
The doctor included bread and its products in the list of harmful substances, because they contain starch, which causes the secretion of insulin during the digestion process. Rapid absorption of starch leads to a decrease in the amount of binding protein and negatively affects the development of the eyeball. According to her, it is better to reduce other carbohydrate-containing foods in the diet – pasta, rice and potatoes.
In addition, the doctor advises limiting the consumption of products that contain additives – potato chips, crackers, soft drinks, etc. It is also better to reduce salt consumption, which increases eye pressure, as well as reduce coffee intake because it negatively affects blood flow to the blood vessels in the eye.
The doctor recommends the necessity of paying attention to eye health when using electronic devices, maintaining sufficient distance between the eyes and them, as well as paying attention to lighting.
