Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Carotenoids, a diverse class of phytonutrients responsible for the vivid red, yellow, and orange hues in numerous fruits and vegetables, have drawn increasing scientific interest due to their significant health benefits, particularly in relation to vision. These naturally occurring pigments play a crucial role in plant photosynthesis and serve as potent antioxidants in human physiology, particularly in maintaining and protecting eye health. Their unique ability to mitigate oxidative stress and filter harmful light makes them indispensable for preserving visual function and preventing age-related ocular diseases.
