Red wine contains a chemical compound called resveratrol which is found in certain red grapes, in particular the skin of these red grapes. Resveratrol is a phytoalexin which is a substance made by the tissue of plants to help combat infection from a pathogen, it works as part of the plant\u2019s defence system.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers have found that resveratrol helps stop blood vessels from being damaged. It is thought to work because it helps the body protect against the development of damaged or altered blood vessels, called abnormal angiogenesis. Resveratrol has been linked to help with eye diseases such as cataracts and age-related macular degeneration. Researchers are undertaking clinical trials to study the effects of resveratrol on type 2 diabetes and, if showed it helps, could also be another benefit to eyes due to the effects diabetes can have on the eyes.<\/p>\n<p>While drinking any form of <a href=\"https:\/\/eyecliniclondon.com\/drinking-alcohol-affect-eyes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">alcohol<\/a> excessively can have detrimental effects on your eyes and body, moderately drinking red wine may help your eye health and adding a small amount of dark chocolate may boost eye health too (click <a href=\"https:\/\/eyecliniclondon.com\/dark-chocolate-benefits-eye-health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a> to read more about dark chocolate and eye health benefits).
