Lutein and zeaxanthin accumulate in the macular pigment of the retina and research indicates that deficiency may result in higher incidence of age-related macular degeneration.

You can get these nutrients from your Singaporean carrot cake, King of Fried Rice, roti prata with egg and Ah Kun soft-boiled eggs.
