Carrots are good for our eyes. A new study says grapes are also good. A few grapes a day can help our vision. A researcher said eating grapes was good for people who are getting older. She added that we can easily buy grapes. The study is good news for people who don't like carrots.
Many people took part in the testing. Half of them ate grapes every day; the other half ate a placebo snack. The people who ate the grapes had better muscle strength in the retina in their eyes. The retina protects our eyes from blue light. A lot of blue light comes from computer screens. It damages our eyes.
