Eyesight problems or vision disturbances can have many causes. Among the most common are refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and presbyopia which are due to abnormalities in the curvature of the cornea or the shape of the lens of the eye. There is also cataract which is a clouding of the lens of the eye that can result from factors such as genetics, UV exposure or diabetes.
Other causes of vision problems are age-related macular degeneration (AMD)), an eye disease that affects the macula, part of the retina, and can lead to progressive loss of central vision, which can make daily activities such as reading and driving more difficult, or glaucoma, a disease characterized by increased intraocular pressure, which can damage the optic nerve and therefore progressive loss of peripheral vision.

Vision problem: this fruit to eat every day to improve vision
The English site The Sun has in fact just relayed une study carried out by a team from the National University of Singapore. These researchers discovered that people who do not eat a particular fruit have worse feelings regarding it than those who eat it regularly. This fruit is none other than grapes! The study reveals that eating a few handfuls of grapes per day would improve the main markers of eye health.
The report highlights that most of the time, vision deterioration is due to “oxidative stress“ where cells are damaged. While the body does not have enough antioxidants to eliminate this “toxic stress”, grapes are known for their high antioxidant content. Their consumption would therefore help the body to eradicate oxidative stress and therefore improve eyesight.
During the study, researchers studied the cases of 34 adults who consumed one and a half cups of grapes per day for 16 weeks. People who ate grapes showed a significant increase in indicators of good eye health in terms of macular pigment optical density, plasma antioxidants and phenolic content. compared to those in the group who ate nothing. You have been warned!
