After cataract surgery, patients can consume high-protein, low-fat soups such as crucian carp soup, black fish soup, and pigeon soup. Cataract patients should eat more foods rich in vitamin C, as vitamin C has antioxidant properties that help protect lens proteins. Examples include mustard greens, green peppers, broccoli, and spinach. Patients should avoid fried foods and animal fats, as these can accelerate oxidative reactions.
