A European blueberry relative rich in anthocyanins that support eye health.
How to Use
Take 160-480mg of standardized bilberry extract (25% anthocyanins) daily.

Bilberry anthocyanins improve blood flow to the retina, support rhodopsin regeneration (the protein needed for night vision), and protect retinal cells from oxidative damage.
A simple technique to prevent and relieve digital eye strain.
How to Use
Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Set a timer as a reminder until it becomes habit.
Why It Works
Prolonged close-up focus causes the ciliary muscles in the eye to spasm. Looking at a distant object relaxes these muscles and resets the focusing mechanism.
Essential fatty acids that support tear film quality and reduce dry eyes.
How to Use
Take 2-3g of combined EPA/DHA fish oil daily. Results may take 6-12 weeks.
Why It Works
Omega-3s improve the lipid layer of the tear film, reducing tear evaporation. They also reduce inflammation in the meibomian glands that produce the oily component of tears.
