Kale

The carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin found in green leafy vegetables like spinach, Swiss chard, collards, and kale help to improve vision and reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration. The antioxidants in these foods act as natural sunglasses to defend the eyes from ultraviolet radiation as well as protect cells from being damaged.
