Avocados contain two essential carotenoids—lutein and zeaxanthin. Daily activities generate free radicals, and carotenoids act as antioxidants to remove them. Lutein and zeaxanthin are vital for eye health. They work well individually but even better together. These carotenoids are found exclusively in the macula, which is crucial for vision. Studies show strong links between them and reduced risks of macular degeneration and cataracts.
