Riboflavin

Riboflavin is another B vitamin that has been researched in connection to eye health (vitamin B2). Riboflavin, as an antioxidant, has the ability to lower oxidative stress in your body, including your eyes. Scientists are particularly interested in riboflavin's ability to prevent cataracts, as riboflavin shortage can lead to this ailment. Surprisingly, many people who have cataracts are also low in this antioxidant.

One study indicated that consuming 1.6-2.2 mg of riboflavin per day, as opposed to.08 mg per day, reduced the incidence of cataract formation by 31-51%. Riboflavin is recommended to be consumed at a daily dose of 1.1-1.3 milligrams. Because many foods contain riboflavin, it is typically simple to meet this need. Oats, milk, yogurt, meat, and fortified cereals are among the examples.
