Blackmores Bilberry Eye Strain
Blackmores Bilberry helps maintain eye health by
supporting healthy function of the retina. It
also helps to improve night vision and assists
the eye to adjust in poor light. Bilberry may
help reduce the risk of damage to the
microcirculation of the eye.
Features and benefits
- Standardised potency, containing 6.25 mg of
anthocyanosides.
- Bilberry may be of benefit for those working
intensely with their eyes, eg airline pilots,
students, computer terminal operators and night
drivers; or when doing fine detailed work.
How it works
The key constituents of bilberry are the
anthocyanosides. These constituents give bilberry
antioxidant properties. In addition the
anthocyanosides have been shown to increase the
strength and reduce the permeability of the
capillaries and in this way bilberry helps to reduce
damage to the microcirculation of the eye.
The anthocyanosides in bilberry help to maintain
visual acuity (sharpness) and improve night vision
through their action on rhodopsin. Rhodopsin is a
light sensitive pigment found in the rods of the
retina. Rhodopsin is essential for eyesight in dim
light and needs to be quickly regenerated in order
for the eye to maintain visual sensitivity.
