NOR’WEST NEWS Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Thursday [Edition July 9 datE] 2020 17 3 SENIOR LIVING Natural vision support Bilberry and marigold are two natural herbs with a long history in supporting the health of the eyes and good vision. During World War 2, British bomber pilots reported improved night vision after a nightly dose of bilberry jam before missions. Subsequent research suggested that bilberry extract may improve microcirculation within the eye, with the most significant effects found in people with impaired visual acuity. Bilberries contain powerful antioxidant compounds called anthocyanins that may play a major role in supporting eye health and even in improving the vision. One of the main causes of degenerative eye diseases such as macular degeneration relates to an increase in free radical activity that damages healthy cells in the eyes. The anthocyanins from the bilberry help reduce this free radical damage that could lead to serious eye disease. Bilberry has also been shown to improve oxygen and blood delivery to the eye, important factors for maintaining eye health. Bilberry is commonly used to support night vision and alleviate tired eyes, eye strain and dry eyes. It is considered beneficial for most eye conditions, including cataracts, disorders of the retina, and to prevent eye problems, especially in people with diabetes or high blood pressure. The retina is a thin layer of tissue at the back of the eye that transforms light information into neural signals for the brain to see images. The retina is very fragile and can be damaged by bright light, especially blue light. Computer monitors, cellphones, electronic notebooks, televisions, LED and fluorescent lighting all emit significant amounts of blue light and may have long term effects on the retina. The carotenoid lutein, as found in marigold flowers, is concentrated in the macula, the functional centre of the retina. The macula gives us the ability to see detail and provides the best colour vision. Lutein appears to be vital in protecting the macula from blue light damage. Multiple studies have shown that people with eye diseases have much lower levels of lutein in their eyes and that increasing intake of lutein can reduce the risk of macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in older people. One study of people in India, where cataracts are a common problem found that those with the highest blood levels of lutein had a 41% lower risk of developing cataracts, compared to those with the lowest levels. “Marshall’s Herbal Vision Manager” provides nutritional support to your eyes, with each capsule containing a high dose extract of bilberry fruit and marigold flowers.
