Brief summary
Dietary habits may affect our body by certain mechanisms, visual sense is one of the most vital human senses that needs special attention in our daily habits.
Detailed description
Retinal function directly related to our quality of vision, different drugs can affect our vision in certain ways, however, out unhealthy dietary habits can indirectly affect our quality of life and vision.
