Objective: Plants are a rich source of various beneficial compounds that can positively impact vision, prevent eye diseases, and aid in their treatment. In traditional medicine, medicinal plants have been widely used to strengthen eyesight. The aim of the current review is to identify and report natural antioxidants that are effective in improving vision.
Methods: In this review study, relevant articles were searched using keywords such as medicinal plants, vision, eye strengthening, vision improvement, and traditional medicine. Databases like Google Scholar, SID, Magiran, PubMed, and Scopus were used for the search.
Results: Medicinal plants including fennel, lemon, saffron, cranberry, green tea, turmeric, grapes, celery, and dandelion were found to enhance vision.
Conclusion: This review indicates that the use of medicinal plants can play an effective role in improving vision and preventing eye problems. Due to their antioxidant compounds, medicinal plants protect eye tissues from damage caused by free radicals and can help prevent conditions such as dry eyes, glaucoma, and other ocular disorders. Given the positive effects of these plants, further research is recommended to accurately assess their mechanisms of action in both traditional and modern medicine.
