Billberry is an fruit that may help strengthen eyesight:
“BILBERRIES (Vaccinium myrtillus) should not to be confused with blueberries though they are similar in appearance. They grow abundantly on heaths and moors in northern Europe and North America. They have quite a sharp tangy flavour when eaten raw. The dark blue-black berries are rich in anthocyanidins that are potent plant antioxidants found to protect micro blood vessels especially in the retina. These fine blood vessels provide nutrients to the photoreceptor cells made of rods and cones which help us to see.
Photoreceptor cells are receptors sensitive to light and while the cones help us to see in colour, the rods are responsible for visual acuity (sharpness) and contrast vision (to differentiate between the different shades and for seeing in the dark).”
DAAN carries its own Billberry formulation.
