PUFA reduces risk of cataract

...ause of the fish and sea foods contain significant quantities of long chain omega-3 polyunsaturates. The findings from the study suggest that higher intake of long-chain omega-3 fatty acid (eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid) and consumption of fish may modestly reduce the risk of cataract. Previous...
