Nowadays, most white-collar workers work in front of computers all day. At the end of the day, their eyes are blurry and they are too lazy to even turn on the TV when they get home. Eyes are one of the hardest working organs in the human body. 90% of the information received by the human body comes from the eyes. Because of this, the eyes are particularly prone to fatigue and aging due to hard work.

In addition to staying up late and overwork, malnutrition is a major cause of eye "injury". A study by the University of Manchester in the UK confirmed that spinach is one of the best sources of lutein, and lutein is very effective in preventing "macular degeneration" caused by eye aging. Researchers at Ohio State University in the United States said that a large amount of lutein in dark green leafy vegetables is very helpful in preventing cataracts.
