ROS is known to the main spark off the pathogenesis of cataract. In the Red seaweed the protein content along with Carotenoids are highly having the anti-oxidant activity to nullify the Oxidative stress. Along this ward, the Selected Red Seaweed where macerated in different solvent system. From that, the phytochemical parameters, were investigated. However, it showed that the Aqueous extract of Hypnea valentiae posse the protein, Carbohydrate, tannin and cartotenoids. The indexed extract pointed with the antigluconesgenesis effect in the isolated goat eye. The results suggest that the Hypnea valentiae extract under investigation can delay the diffusion onset and/or prevent the progression of cataract. In this, anti-cataract potential may be attributed to the presence of high protein and carotenoids. Photographic evaluation, further, confirmed the observation.
