Катаракта є основною причиною сліпоти у світі, статистичний аналіз показує збільшення абсолютної кількості випадків на 29,7 % за останні двадцять років. У 2020 році катаракта спричинила сліпоту у 15,2 млн людей, старших за 50 років. Хірургічний метод факоемульсифікації є основним у її лікуванні, проте у частини пацієнтів після операції розвивається вторинна катаракта. Незбалансоване харчування може опосередковано впливати на частоту та тяжкість прогресування катаракти, а також на розвиток вторинної катаракти. Зв’язки між споживанням певних груп харчових продуктів і прогресуванням катаракти вивчені недостатньо. Це насамперед стосується молока і молочних продуктів, речовин, важливих для сполучної тканини органа зору, — магнію та вітаміну С. Щодо вітаміну С результати клінічних досліджень прямо протилежні та суперечливі. Розуміючи важливу роль харчових речовин для метаболізму будь-якої клітини організму, ми провели аналіз впливу різних дієт і деяких нутрієнтів на орган зору.

Cataract is the leading cause of blindness in the world, with statistical analysis showing a 29.7 % increase in the absolute number of cataract cases over the past twenty years. In 2020, cataract caused blindness in 15.2 million people over 50 years of age. Phacoemulsification surgery is the main treatment for cataract, but some patients develop secondary cataract after surgery. An unbalanced diet can indirectly affect the frequency and severity of cataract progression, as well as the development of secondary cataract. The relationships between the consumption of certain food groups and progression of cataract have not been studied sufficiently. This primarily applies to milk and dairy products, substances important for the connective tissue of the eye — magnesium and vitamin C. Regarding vitamin C, the results of clinical studies are directly opposite and contradictory. Understanding the important role of nutrients for metabolism of any cell in the body, we analyzed the effects of various diets and certain nutrients on the eye.
