The leading causes of vision impairment or blindness in the elderly can be attributed to macular deterioration and cataracts. Egg yolks contain lutein and zeaxanthin, two antioxidants that play a major role in helping curb these problems. While leafy green vegetables like spinach, broccoli and Kale also have these antioxidants, research says the human body is able to absorb lutein from eggs better and faster than these vegetables.

A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition studied participants who ate 1.3 egg yolks per day for four-and-a-half weeks. They found that these people experienced an increase in blood levels of zeaxanthin by 114-142% and lutein by 28-50%!
