Studies：
Dry eye symptoms:
- 22 patients with dry eye symptoms were treated with 160 mg of bilberry extract. After 30 days, the Ocular Surface Disease Index was statistically improved in the bilberry group compared to placebo.
Diabetic Retinopathy
- 510 mg daily intake of Bilberry Fruit Extract over 1 year on patients with diabetic retinopathy was reported a gradual improvement in vision contrast sensitivity.
Eye Fatigue Symptoms:
40 pilots as test subjects with 400 mg bilberry anthocyanins taken before flight. Subjects reported reduced visual fatigue and shorter-lived post-dazzling after-images.

Blood Glucose Control
- Bilberry fruit extract significantly reduced the blood glucose concentration and
enhanced insulin sensitivity. Patients with Type 2 Diabetic Mellitus who ingested a single oral dose of bilberry fruit extract (standardized 36% anthocyanins) had lower postprandial insulin and glucose blood levels than the placebo group.

Lipid Profile Management
- Study found that 320mg / day of Bilberry extracts improved lipid profile by increasing high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) & decreasing LDL cholesterol when taken for 8 to 12 weeks. C-reactive protein (hsCRP), soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1), and plasma IL-1β were significantly decreased.
