During World War II, there was a story about a skilled fighter pilot named John Cunningham of the British Royal Air Force who flew fighter jets in the dark of night to attack the enemy. He used to eat carrots so he developed this keen eyesight. Everyone called him 'cat eyes'.

Although this is an old story, in fact doctors say that carrots contain effective ingredients for improving eyesight. Carrots are rich in vitamin A, vitamin A will help improve your eyesight.

• Vitamin A, C, E and Zinc Khan:

If you don't want to eat carrots, other vitamin rich foods then you must take these vitamin rich capsules. These vitamins will not restore your eyesight but will prevent it from getting worse. Experts believe that vitamins A, E, C and zinc are very effective in maintaining good eyesight.

*Use sunglasses that protect against UV rays: Intense sunlight and its accompanying ultra-violet rays can cause serious damage to your eyes. These rays cause a lot of damage to the cornea including damaging the eye tissue. For this reason, don't forget to wear sunglasses whenever you go out in the sun.

• Work in the right amount of light:

When you work or study in insufficient light, your eyes are strained. This results in pressure on the eyes. On the other hand, working in excessive light is also harmful to the eyes. This can cause eye damage. Always try to work in sufficient light to reduce the stress caused by these changes in light.
