Images online often claim that guava leaves can “restore vision,” “remove cataracts,” or dramatically improve eyesight overnight. However, there is currently no scientific evidence proving that guava leaves can cure serious eye conditions or reverse blindness.
That said, guava leaves and guava fruit do contain nutrients and antioxidants that may support overall health, including eye wellness as part of a balanced diet.
Why Guava Is Considered Healthy
Guava is rich in:
- Vitamin C

Vitamin A is especially important for maintaining normal vision and supporting eye health.
