Blackmores Bilberry Eye Support contains a high quality standardised extract sourced from wild European bilberries to support eye health. Bilberries are a dark blue and purple berry that contain a range of antioxidant compounds. Each tablet contains anthocyanosides, which is a group of reddish-purple pigments found to significantly improve night vision and aid the function of the retina. This active anthocyanosides provides antioxidant action, supports visual acuity, and reduces the effects of eye strain and fatigue caused from computer screens, low-light/night vision, glare sensitivity or detailed work.
Blackmores Bilberry Eye Support assists in the relief of visual fatigue and eye strain, and is useful for those performing fine detailed work. The actions of Bilberry are primarily due to its content of flavonoid compounds known as anthocyanosides, and research has centred on these compounds. Bilberry also can normalise capillary permeability and may be protective against eye conditions of circulatory origin and other varicose conditions generally. Other indications for the herb include reduced night vision, eye strain, glare sensitivity and visual fatigue from over-use.
Bilberry may also be of benefit for those performing fine detail work, or having a heavy demand on the visual process; like airline pilots, students, computer terminal operators, and night drivers. It is presumed that its action in these circumstances relates to its ability to help maintain rhodopsin stores, which may be depleted during periods of extended visual work.
