Abstract

Blurred vision is a prevalent issue impacting numerous individuals. Traditional medicine provides various oral formulations aimed at improving vision and strengthening ocular health. Medicinal plants such as milk thistle, ginkgo biloba, fennel, saffron, green tea, charcoal, grapes, cineraria, chamomile, turmeric, aloe vera, olive, plum, cherry, spinach, peanut, clove, peach, celery, and mango are renowned for their vision-enhancing properties. These plants are believed to improve visual acuity and alleviate blurred vision through multiple mechanisms, including liver detoxification, reduction of eye redness and excessive tearing, clearing of floaters, and enhancement of light sensitivity. They address deficiencies in Qi within the liver and kidneys, protect nerve cells, improve retinal blood flow, and reduce intraocular pressure. The pharmacological effects of these plants are attributed to their secondary active compounds and antioxidant properties.
