Q: What foods are practically as good as written guarantees that you'll maintain good vision?

A: It's plain to see that eggs are good for your eyes. That's because egg yolks contain lutein and zeaxanthin (your friends "L&Z" that we talked about in this chapter's Intro), two antioxidants from the carotenoid family that contribute to improving eye health and protecting eyes from ultraviolet rays. L&Z help to reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration. What's more, data from the Beaver Dam Eye Study shows that people who eat eggs every day have less risk of developing cataracts.
