Introduction
Under normal circumstances, black fish (mullet) may have certain auxiliary effects in maintaining normal vision, but it cannot directly protect or improve eyesight. Consumption should be moderate and prepared with appropriate cooking methods. The fish should be thoroughly cooked to avoid parasitic or bacterial infections. Patients with gout should consume it cautiously due to its purine content. In daily life, maintaining good eye hygiene is important for protecting eyesight.

Generally speaking, snakehead fish can play a certain auxiliary role in maintaining normal vision, but it cannot directly protect or improve vision. It is important to pay attention to the amount consumed and cooking methods. Detailed analysis is as follows:

Snakehead fish is a common aquatic food ingredient containing vitamin A, DHA, and zinc. Vitamin A is an essential component of the light-sensitive substances in the retina and helps maintain normal retinal function, preventing decreased night vision caused by vitamin A deficiency. Eating moderate amounts of snakehead fish, prepared by steaming or making soup, can supply these nutrients without usually causing adverse reactions. However, excessive consumption may burden the gastrointestinal system due to its high protein content, leading to discomforts such as bloating and indigestion. Moreover, snakehead fish does not contain any specific ingredients that directly improve vision problems such as myopia or astigmatism.

Snakehead fish must be thoroughly cooked to avoid parasitic or bacterial infections. Patients with gout should also consume it cautiously, as it contains purines. In daily life, maintaining good vision requires attention to eye hygiene, controlling the duration of eye use, and incorporating other vitamin A-rich foods such as carrots and spinach into the diet to better support eye health.
