Carotene can relieve night blindness and prevent corneal lesions in the eyes.
1. Relieve the symptoms of night blindness: carotene is absorbed by the body, can be converted into vitamin A. Vitamin A is involved in the formation of retinal sensory cells, if the lack of retinal rod cell synthesis and reduction of obstacles, manifested in poor dark adaptation ability, or even night blindness. Timely supplementation of carotene is conducive to alleviating the symptoms of night blindness.
2. Reduce keratoconus: Vitamin A deficiency can lead to corneal lesions, such as dry eye, conjunctival dryness, a more serious deficiency will lead to corneal softening, and then develop into myopia, cone cornea and other more serious problems, resulting in a significant decline in vision. Timely supplementation of carotenoids is beneficial in minimizing the occurrence of these lesions.
There are many other benefits of carotenoids for the eyes, such as carotenoids being the light-sensitive substances within the cells that make up vision and reducing the symptoms of visual fatigue. If possible, eat more carotene-rich foods while ensuring balanced nutrition.
