dc.description.abstractThe role of berries (fruits rich in polyphenols, carotenoids, vitamins, and minerals) in maintaining eye health is currently being investigated in several studies. Observational studies and randomized controlled trials published in the past five years have reported a beneficial impact on eye health. A healthy intake of these nutrients can help prevent and manage some chronic ocular conditions, such as dry eye disease and age-related macular degeneration, that affect middle-aged and elderly populations. Several studies have reported that berry extract compounds are rich in antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties that are linked to oxidative stress and inflammation processes that affect the ocular surface and retina. This chapter provides an overview of the current research on phytochemical contents of berries and their impact on the eye, and it will discuss the ocular diseases that may benefit from dietary intake of berries and recommended dosages. This chapter aims to improve the knowledge of eye care professionals by encouraging them to use health promotion approaches and preventative medicine in the management of chronic ocular conditions. We discuss challenges to the implementation of berry supplementation into clinical practice and future research directions.eng
