The most effective method of cataract treatment is surgery, and the majority of patients can recover their vision through surgical treatment. The diet after surgery often plays an important role in the patient’s recovery. What is the best diet after cataract surgery? A detailed explanation of post-operative diet and care for cataract patients is given. Cataract patients should pay attention to the following aspects of their diet: To speed up their recovery, cataract patients can take elements that are good for their eyes from their daily diet. Lutein and zeaxanthin are strong antioxidants that can absorb harmful light entering the eye, prevent the aging of the eye, and slow down vision loss. Foods rich in lutein and zeaxanthin include: green leafy vegetables (e.g. spinach, kale and mustard greens), pumpkin, green legumes (e.g. peas) and broccoli. Vitamin E has strong antioxidant properties that enable biofilms to perform normal physiological functions and delay the aging of cells in cataract patients. Foods containing vitamin E include: peanut rice, sesame seeds, lettuce, cauliflower, lean meat, dairy, eggs and deep-sea fish. In order to prevent eye wound rupture caused by constipation, you can let post-surgery patients eat more easily liquid or semi-liquid food, such as: porridge food and dairy products, etc. Warmly remind that cataract patients should avoid smoking, alcohol and spicy food within one month after cataract surgery, develop good habits of work and rest, and have regular review after surgery.
