Abstract: The increasing frequency of people's use of electronic products has led to an increase in the amount of time spent with the eyes, which in turn often results in a variety of eye discomforts such as soreness, dryness and blurriness, a condition known as visual fatigue. A growing body of research suggests that visual fatigue can be effectively alleviated through dietary supplementation, particularly through supplementation with food and medicinal compounds. At present, there are more and more health food products in the market for relieving visual fatigue and improving eyesight, which indicates that there is a greater demand for health food products for relieving visual fatigue and a better prospect for development. Chrysanthemum raw material, as one of the main ingredients of visual fatigue-relieving health food, can effectively reduce visual fatigue caused by oxidative stress and inflammatory damage. The article analyzed the differences in chemical structure and content of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory components in different varieties of chrysanthemum raw materials. Through the National Special Food Information Query Platform of the State Administration of Market Supervision and Administration, health food products containing chrysanthemum raw materials among them were summarized and analyzed. The safety of chrysanthemum raw materials and the progress of research in relieving visual fatigue are also reviewed. We also put forward the opinions and prospects for the future research of chrysanthemum raw materials, with a view to providing a certain reference basis and theoretical foundation for the research and development of visual fatigue-relieving health food mainly based on chrysanthemum raw materials in the future.
