We all know carrots are good for our eyesight. A new study says grapes are also good for our eyes. The National University of Singapore found that eating just a few grapes a day can help our vision. This is good for older people. The lead researcher said: "Our study…shows that grape consumption beneficially impacts eye health in humans, which is very exciting, especially with a growing, ageing population." She added that we can easily buy grapes, and they have a "beneficial impact" on our eyesight. This is good news for people who dislike carrots.
Thirty-four adults took part in experiments over 16 weeks. Half of them ate one-and-a-half cups of grapes every day; the other half ate a placebo snack. The participants and the researchers did not know if the tests were on the grapes or the snack. This gave better test results. Researchers found that people who ate the grapes had better muscle strength around the retina. The retina passes information about light to the brain. It protects the eyes from damaging blue light. A lot of blue light comes from computer screens and LED lights.
