Dear Mr XXXXXXX
Thank you for your query.
Diet has no role in the formation of cataract. Although a diet rich in vitamins and antioxidants is good for the health of the eye. Green leafy vegetables and salads should be consumed on a daily basis.
Foods which contain the antioxidants lutein and xeaxanthin are good for the health of retinal cells XXXXXXX pappaya and tomatoes are good examples.
I hope I have answered your query.
