I just wanted to say that I absolutely love bilberry. I wanted to share what it did for me. I have problems with night vision and I heard that this was good, so I ordered some and started taking it. About 2 weeks in, my vision suddenly became so much sharper. It was like the difference between regular TV and Hi-Def and it wasn’t just at night, I noticed it during the day. I wear glasses, but even without my glasses, everything is blurry, but somehow sharper. It is kind of like how I remember childhood being, everything so bright and crisp. Absolutely fabulous.
