Abstract
Diet has a major impact on the human body. Researchers indicate that a well-balanced diet may partially prevent the dry eye syndrome and contact lens discomfort. It may also slow down the aging process of the eye. Protection of the eye with the help of dietary supplementation has been a subject of research since the previous century. The paper presents the most important conclusions on the significance of diet for healthy eyesight.
