Abstract
Traditional medicine recommended berries for good eyesight; now we don’t have to go to the forest to get them. We grow blueberries and chokeberries on plantations. Aronia melanocarpa is a Polish black treasure – a superfruit with the highest content of anthocyanins and other polyphenol compounds with strong antioxidant properties. Chokeberry anthocyanin extract and the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin are part of a dietary supplement that can be used as dietary support in the prevention of eye diseases such as AMD or cataracts. It will be useful for computer users and drivers to maintain healthy eyes.
