Carrots are often associated with promoting good eyesight due to their high content of beta-carotene, a type of vitamin A precursor. Vitamin A is essential for maintaining healthy vision, and a deficiency in this nutrient can lead to vision problems, particularly in low-light conditions.

But here’s an alternative for those who don’t like carrots. According to research done by the National University of Singapore grapes are equally helpful for boosting eye health. The core of their study revolved around investigating whether the consumption of foods rich in antioxidants directly influences the overall well-being of the eye. They assessed this impact by observing indicators of oxidative stress, with a particular focus on elevated levels of ocular advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which are harmful compounds associated with several eye-related conditions.

The report was published in Food & Function and was done on adults who ate one and a half cups of grapes for 16 consecutive weeks. Scientists discovered that individuals who consumed grapes experienced significant enhancements in their antioxidant capacity and macular pigment in the retina, a protective factor for shielding the eyes from harmful blue light.
