Bilberry for Eye Health
Bilberry helps to improve vision in near-sighted adults; it is the most commonly mentioned natural treatment for impaired night vision. This use dates back to World War II, when pilots in Britain’s Royal Air Force reported that a good dose of bilberry jam just before a mission improved their night vision, often dramatically. In the mid 1960s, reference to
these observations eventually led to the first laboratory and later clinical studies on the effects of bilberry fruit extracts on the eyes and vascular system.
