Vit. A, Vit. C
Other things are Lutein (sold at drug stores) and Billberry (an herb). I get all the above at Puritan's pride (a catalog comes to the house but they are also online). They even have an "eye formula" that has all the stuff in it. I have used it before. But I only buy during their sales (like buy one, get one free).

The same vitamins that are good for the rest of the body (all of them!). If you eat a balanced diet that includes fruits and vegetables, you will get all the vitamins you need. Vitamin supplements are not needed for most people.

Vitamin A is the most important for the eyes, but again all vitamins are important!

Vitamin A.
Fuctions:
-vision in dim light
-skin health
-bone and tooth growth
-antioxidant
Deficiency (hypovitaminosis A) Symptoms:
-painful joints
- night blindness
- corneal degenration leading to blindness
-xenophthalmia (progressive blindness)
-keratinization
-imparied immunity
Toxicity Symptoms:
-red cell breakage
-joint pain, headaches
-abdominal cramping
-blurred vision
-liver damage
-bone fractures
-birth defects
Sources:
retinol (actual vitamin a): fortified milk, cheese, cream, butter and margarine, egg yolk, liver
beta carotene (the body converts this into vitamin a): spinach, broccoli, apricots, cantaloupe, peaches, squash, carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkin
All that said, unless you're DEFICIENT in vitamin A, taking extra won't help. Vitamins don't "cure" anything if there is no deficiency in the first place.
Hope that helps.

Vitamin A - helps prevent a condition called "night blindness". The inability of the eyes to adjust to lower light conditions.
Remember you can find it in foods which are orange - like egg yolk and carrots

try Ocuvite or something equivalent, they even make a formula that can be used with your normal vitamins, so that you are not taking excessive amounts of anything. But if you are asking because you have a specific eye disease or family history of one, you might want to ask you ophthalmologist
