Dietary advice to improve eyesight
I am shortsighted and have power of about -7. I often find myself wiping out tears. What could be the reason for the tears? Another question is how can I improve my eye sight through diet and exercise?

Eye strain might be the cause for abnormal watering. Other reasons for watering of eyes is myopia - the symptoms of myopia include blurred vision, mostly when the object is far away such as the school black board, cinema screen and so on. There also might be itching and eye heaviness, accompanied by a mild headache.
Diet for improving eyesight:
The diet should include vegetables and fruits that are green, yellow and red. Increasing the consumption of Vitamin A is important for improving eyesight. Also foods such as spinach, milk cream, fresh milk, butter, tomatoes, lettuce, carrots, cabbage, dates, soya beans, blueberries and oranges are the best source of vitamin A.
Exercise for improving your vision:
- Rub your palms together and lay them lightly on the eyes. The warmth from the palms will sooth the nerves and increase blood circulation.
- Eye stretching exercise - Close both eyes shut and then open them suddenly.
- Close your eyes and circulate them in all directions. Do this slowly but steadily. Concentrate on one eye at a time.
- Sun bathing is good for your eyes. Don't try to look at the sun directly. Exercise your eyes by looking both sides, up and down trying to allow as maximum sunlight.
