“Power Couple” Could SAVE Your Vision
In its early stages, glaucoma is often a silent disease with no clear signs of its presence.
So, by the time you start to experience symptoms like glare and tunnel vision, you could already have irreversible eye damage.
But there is hope.
Studies show a natural, drug-free solution can improve visual function in folks with certain types of glaucoma.
Not only could it stop the progression of the condition… but it can also lead to measurable improvements.
And it gets better…
You see when this berry supplement combines with another key extract, it can be JUST as effective as Big Pharma’s drugs at reducing the harmful eye pressure that causes glaucoma to progress. (And it’s available at a fraction of the cost
Glaucoma can cause blurry vision, glare, and difficulty differentiating contrast.
As the disease progresses, you can develop tunnel vision, which occurs when you stop seeing objects in your peripheral vision. Over time, those walls keep closing in until your central vision diminishes.
In the end, many people with glaucoma end up completely blind.
These symptoms occur when your optic nerve becomes damaged, which happens as a result of too much pressure in your eyes.
As pressure builds up (called intraocular pressure), it eventually causes damage to the optic nerve. This nerve in the back of your eye transfers visual information from the retina to the brain.
Increased eye pressure can cause the cells in the optic nerve to die—and they’re never replaced.
And because increased eye pressure doesn’t cause any symptoms, you could be dangerously close to irreversible eye damage—without having a clue.
That’s the bad news. The good news is that you can slow and even reverse the eye pressure that’s the root cause of glaucoma.
In a study, folks with elevated eye pressure took a combination of two nutrients.
- Bilberry
- French maritime pine bark extract
After two months, intraocular pressure plummeted, and ocular blood flow improved. Color doppler imaging even showed better blood flow in eye arteries.
This was the first study to show that natural supplements can lead to these improvements—and STOP the progression to optic nerve damage.
In fact, taking the two nutrients together brought eye pressure down to almost normal levels.
