Leafy green vegetables contain two important natural carotenoid pigments called lutein and zeaxanthin — which have been identified by scientists to help in protecting the lens and retina of the eye. These pigments concentrate in the eyes when leafy vegetables are eaten regularly. Lutein and zeaxanthin accumulate in large quantity in the eye lens than in the macular, thus creating a barrier against developing cataract particularly. You may also ask: How do these pigments (lutein and zeaxanthin) found in high quantity in green leafy vegetables does protect from cataract?
Dr. Kayode Oriyelu the director of BSN Naturalist Care and the duo of Dr. Nurudeen Animasaun and Femi Adekunle unanimously agreed that in both the lens and the retina of the eyes, lutein and zeaxanthin act as antioxidant that scavenge marauding oxygen molecules called free radicals. These two pigments in the retina also act as a filter that absorbs short wavelength or blue-light, which may be toxic to the retina and harm other eye’s sensitive tissues, leading to its damage. Green leafy vegetables are also rich in micronutrients that can protect the eyes from other eye infections.
