Antioxidant Eye Nutrition - Opthalmologic Support
Description: More than any other tissue in the body, the ocular lens and retina are continually exposed to oxygen and intense light radiation. Both light and oxygen can create free radicalsthat play havoc with membrane lipids of visual cells. Experts believe that the uncontrolled generation of free radicals in the eyes can ultimately lead to macular degeneration and cataracts. Therefore, ocular tissue relies on a strong antioxidant defense system to protect them from free radical damage.
Bilberries (Vaccinium myrtillus), a northern European cousin of North American blueberries, became popular by british night combat pilots in WW II, who ate bilberry jam regularly to increase their night vision. Bilberries are a rich source of anthocyanosides, a class of flavonoids recognized for their importance in eye health. Bilberry anthocyanosides are potent antioxidants in the visual cells of the retina and help maintain normal blood flow in the fine capillary blood vessels that nourish the eyes and other tissues.
