Vitamins Good For Your Eyes

Our most precious God given gift just might be our eyes. Without them, we don’t visually see the world and all that is in it. Those without sight see it in a different way, but it is in darkness and thought. So why don’t people care more for that ability by protecting it with a good diet? They just don’t know how important it really is, or don’t have the facts.

Pilots on night missions had many more crashes, tanks were running over and into the wrong tings, or missing easy targets.. So much so that the Armed Forces Vision Committee conducted investigations. It was found that most of the trouble came from men who'd been to bright beaches or exposed to brilliant snow light. Others who had had excellent vision before submarine duty failed eye tests when they came to shore. Their eyes were not getting enough vitamin A to compensate for the contrasts of light.
