Abstract: (360 Views)
Objective: Plants serve as a rich repository of bioactive compounds with the potential to promote ocular health, prevent eye diseases, and enhance visual function. Traditional medicine has long utilized plant-based remedies to improve vision. This review aims to identify and elucidate the mechanisms of action of natural antioxidants derived from plants that exhibit beneficial effects on visual health.
Methods: In this review study, relevant articles were searched using keywords such as medicinal plants, vision, 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 highlights the potential of medicinal plants to enhance visual function and prevent ocular diseases. The antioxidant properties of these plants can safeguard ocular tissues from oxidative damage, thereby mitigating the risk of conditions such as dry eye syndrome, glaucoma, and other ocular disorders. To fully harness the therapeutic potential of medicinal plants, further research is imperative to elucidate their precise mechanisms of action and optimize their application in both traditional and modern medicine.
