He added: “Choose dark green vegetables to obtain the most antioxidants, which protect your eyes by reducing damage related to oxidising agents (free radicals) that can cause age-related eye diseases.”
As every healthy diet should be varied and contain at least five servings of fruits and vegetables, you’ll be glad to know that other foods also offer lutein and zeaxanthin.
The eye expert shared that kale, sweet corn, peas and broccoli can also do the trick.
On the topic of the diet, he added: “It’s also important to avoid foods with refined sugars as they cause spikes in blood sugar levels which can accelerate cataract formation if diabetes develops.”
