Experts from Baoding Xinshi Eye Hospital pointed out that low levels of vitamin E in the blood can also induce cataracts. Because when vitamin E is reduced, the oxidation reaction will increase, and the protein agglutination of the crystal will become turbid. Eat cabbage, cauliflower, sunflower oil, peanut oil, cereals, legumes, dark green plants, animal liver, eggs and dairy products in the diet to get more vitamin E.

People who consume the most carotene and other carotenoids in their diet have half the risk of developing cataracts compared to those who consume the least. A diet rich in vitamin A can reduce the risk of cataracts by 40%. Carotene is mostly found in vegetables with dark green leaves.
