Hi
Is anyone taking vitamins to improve vision and if so what are you taking and has it helped you. I was diagnosed with glaucoma last summer and I am wondering if lutein or ginco biloba could possibly improve vision.
Thanks
Sharon

Bilberry is very good for eyes. I used to have very bad eyestrain so I took some bilberry. It definitely worked for my eyestrain. I used to take it everyday but now I don't have to. I just take it every once and a while now. My grandmother also takes it cause she has mild floaters and she says this totally helped her.

Hi, :)
Just wondering if you could be a little bit more specific. I have the above (floaters) and sometimes migraine vision irregularities. I'd like to know what the berries (??) are. Is is a liquid one puts in the eyes as you would eyedrops, or actual dried berries to make tea with, or supplements in a capsule form,or what? Where would one look for them? :confused:
Thank you Alagaesia!

Bilberry is a supplement that comes in capsule form. I think there's a tea as well but I'm not sure. You just swallow a few capsules a day. It all depends on the dosage. When I take it I take 2 a day. The kind I take are 120 MG each. The bottle says I can take up to 4 a day but I only need 2. If you want good bilberry make sure somewhere on the bottle it says 25% anthocyansides. If it doesn't say that then its not gonna work as well. You can find it in pretty much any health store. I use the vitamin shoppe brand but there are many different brands to choose from.
My grandmother had one or 2 mild floaters in I think it was her left eye. She said since taking the bilberry she hasn't seen any floaters in her eye. I also used to have bad eyestrain to the point where I would feel not dizzy but sort of off balance. Haven't had that since taking this.

Lutein is by far the best vitamin for eye health.

What can you tell me about lutein? Do they have straight lutein or is it only in a multi-eye vitamin. What does lutein do for the eyes that is different from Billberry. I'm looking for the best possible vitamins that may be able to improve the glaucoma I have.
Thanks:)
