Nutrition In Hyperopia (farsightedness)

In eye diseases such as farsightedness, plant foods that contain vitamins (especially vitamins A, C and B) and trace elements are recommended.

Hyperopia or farsightedness is a visual impairment in which the image of close objects (up to 30 cm) is focused behind the retina and leads to blurring (blurring) of the perceived image.

Axerophthol is part of the retina and its photosensitive substance. Insufficient amount leads to decreased vision (especially in the dark and at dusk). Excess vitamin in the body can cause irregular breathing, liver damage, salt deposits in the joints, spasms.
