Below are highlights from the article:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0Carbohydrates: Researchers in Australia found that high carbohydrate diets may increase cataract risk. Published in <em>Investigative Ophthalmology &amp; Visual Science<\/em>, 2010.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0Vitamins &amp; Minerals: A large study of adult women found that eating foods rich in vitamins and minerals may help delay cataract development (published in the <em>Archives of Ophthalmolog<\/em>y, 2010). Another study suggests that lutein, zeaxanthin and vitamin E from food and supplements \u201cwere associated with significantly decreased risk of cataract.\u201d <em>Lutein and zeaxanthin are found in green leafy vegetables and other foods, such as eggs.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Antioxidants: A 10-year study of 2,400 older adults, also conducted in Australia, found that a combined intake of multiple antioxidants reduced the risk of cataracts. Published in the <em>American Journal of Clinical Nutrition<\/em>, 2008.<\/p>\n<p>Today, most doctors and experts agree, nutrition that benefits health including <a href=\"https:\/\/eyectexas.com\/cataracts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">eye care<\/a>, should come from a healthy diet.
