You’ve probably seen it trending on social media:
“Drink onion juice for 5 days and your eyesight will improve!”
Sounds like magic, right? But let’s hit pause for a second. Is there actually any truth behind the hype? Or is it just another viral wellness fad?
Let’s break it down — no myths, no miracles, just facts.
👁️ Do Onions Really Help Your Eyes?
Here’s the good news: onions do contain nutrients that support eye health. But will they give you perfect 20/20 vision in five days? Not quite.
What they can do is contribute to better long-term eye function when combined with a healthy lifestyle. So, if you’re serious about your vision, onions can definitely play a supporting role.
🧪 What’s Inside an Onion That’s Good for Your Eyes?
Onions aren’t just for flavoring your food or making you cry — they’re packed with health-boosting compounds that your eyes actually love.
👇 Key Nutrients in Onions:
Quercetin: A powerful antioxidant that helps fight inflammation and oxidative stress, both of which can negatively affect your eyes.
Sulfur Compounds: These help your body produce glutathione, an antioxidant that protects your retina and lens from damage.
