Bilberries is an excellent suggestion; can be taken as jam, as tea,extract, dried as a snack etc. Very tasteful; my kids favorite, they grow wild around here.
I would suggest buying it as a powder; can be mixed with anything or taken straight from the spoonful.

And this also includes the treatment of eye ailments like progressive myopia, conjunctivitis, cataracts as well as the initial stages of glaucoma (an eye disease that damages the optic nerves and impairs vision. At times it may also lead to blindness).

Before wrapping up the subject, it needs to be mentioned that the use of triphala, a combination of three herbal fruits, is the most widespread combine used in Ayurvedic medications since ages. If one goes through the Ayurvedic literature, he or she will find that the use of triphala fills volumes of pages.
