Eggs can protect your eyesight

Lutein and zeaxanthin are two antioxidants found in eggs that may help to prevent macular degeneration, a leading cause of age-related blindness. Though eggs contain a small amount of these two nutrients, research shows that the lutein and zeaxanthin from eggs may be more bioavailable than from other sources. In addition a single egg contains 5% of your daily recommended intake of Vitamin A, which supports growth and maintains healthy skin, vision and immune function.
