Herbs For Optimum Eye Health

There are certain herbs that can treat blurred vision, improve night vision, slow the progression of glaucoma and cataracts and help keep the eyes healthy.

The goal of herbal therapy is to help maintain optic nerve health. Some chemicals like (protein kinase C inhibitors) and TKI (tyrosine kinase inhibitors) are said to relax and not tighten ciliary muscles. Such PKC apigenin-rich herbs like parsley, chrysanthemum and chamomile flowers are said to provide glaucoma benefits by competing with chemicals that over-stimulate PKC activity. Similar benefits are also found in curcumin that is said to reduce PKC activity.

Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus):

Contains potent antioxidant flavonoids called anthocyanins. Its American botanical cousin of blueberry and cranberry. These antioxidant compounds help prevent free-radical damage and capillary fragility. They also help the eyes adapt to darkness.

Green Tea:

Green tea contains vitamins C and E, lutein and zeaxanthin. Catechins, vitamin C and E, lutein, and zeaxanthin, are known to help protect the delicate tissues of the eye from glaucoma and other eye diseases. Green tea consumption could benefit the eye against oxidative stress.
