Healthy Ingredients

The vitamin E in blueberries may help stop the formation of cataracts, or clouding of the eye lens.

Blueberries also contain anthocyanins, which are flavonoid pigments that act as antioxidants. In addition to promoting similar health benefits to other antioxidants for the eyes, anthocyanins maintain general eye health.
