Patients with cataract should eat more foods containing vitamins, especially foods rich in vitamin E. vitamin E has strong antioxidant activity, can reduce the impact of oxygen free radicals on cells, and can also reduce and prevent the production and deposition of lipofuscin, thus protecting the unsaturated fatty acids in cell membrane phospholipids. Vitamin E can stabilize the structure of biofilm, maintain the activity and receptor of membrane binding enzyme; vitamin E can also make biofilm play normal physiological functions and delay cell aging. Foods containing vitamin E include peanut, sesame, lettuce, daylily, lean meat, milk, eggs and deep-sea fish.
