In the video “What Causes Eye Floaters and Dry Eyes?” Dr. Eric Berg discusses common eye problems and the nutrients that can help alleviate these issues. Dry eyes, floaters, night blindness, retinopathy, macular degeneration, glaucoma, and cataracts are all conditions that can be improved by increasing certain essential nutrients in the diet.
Vitamin A deficiency is a common cause of dry eyes and night blindness, which can stem from a diet high in junk food or gallbladder issues. Zinc is essential for vitamin A to work properly in the body. Retinopathy, often seen in individuals with diabetes, can be improved with benfotiamine, a fat-soluble form of vitamin B1.
Floaters, caused by a chemical reaction between protein and sugar, can improve with a low-carb or carnivore diet and fasting to promote autophagy. Macular degeneration may be linked to blue light exposure, alcohol, smoking, sugar, and seed oils. Consuming lutein, zeaxanthin, and meso-zeaxanthin-rich foods can help protect against macular degeneration.
Glaucoma, often related to excess eye pressure, can benefit from high doses of vitamin D, while cataracts may improve with N-acetyl-carnosine, zinc, and vitamin D. Antioxidants found in dark purple, red, orange, and yellow fruits and vegetables can also support eye health. By incorporating these nutrients into your diet, you can work towards improving your eye health and potentially preventing or alleviating vision issues.

In this video, we’ll discuss some common eye problems and the nutrients that can help. Dry eyes and night blindness are often caused by vitamin A deficiency.
Vitamin A deficiency can be caused by a diet high in junk food or an issue with the gallbladder.
Egg yolks, liver, butter, and cod liver oil are the best sources of vitamin A. Plants are not a good source of vitamin A because they only contain the precursor, beta-carotene.
Zinc is essential for vitamin A to work properly in the body. Red meat, oysters, shellfish, and liver are the best sources of zinc.
Retinopathy is often caused by diabetes. Excessive amounts of glucose can create oxidation in the nervous system. Benfotiamine, a fat-soluble form of vitamin B1, can penetrate nerve tissue.
Consuming protein with sugar causes a chemical reaction called glycation, which can cause floaters in the eye. A low-carb or carnivore diet may help. Intermittent and prolonged fasting allow your body to recycle damaged proteins through autophagy and may help with floaters.
Macular degeneration is often said to be age-related. However, blue light, alcohol, smoking, sugar, and seed oils may contribute to it. To improve eye health, try lowering your seed oil consumption and increasing your intake of omega-3 fats.
Lutein, zeaxanthin, and meso-zeaxanthin are carotenoids that protect your eyes against macular degeneration. You can find these compounds in the following foods:
• Green vegetables
• Orange fruits and vegetables
• Yellow fruits and vegetables
• Egg yolks
• Seafood (Salmon, shrimp)
• Grass-fed meat
Glaucoma is an eye condition in which excessive pressure causes damage to the back of the eye. Research has shown that vitamin D can be an excellent remedy for glaucoma. High amounts of vitamin D can also be beneficial for cataracts.
N-acetyl-carnosine and zinc contain antioxidants that protect the eye and improve cataracts. Dark purple, red, orange, and yellow fruits and vegetables contain antioxidants that help support eye health.
