In this video, we’re going to talk about the relationship between the gallbladder and the eyes. Surprisingly, issues with the gallbladder have the potential to cause several eye problems.

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that is very important for the health of your eyes. Vitamin A plays a critical role in the following:
• Supports the membrane that surrounds the eye
• Supports the membrane inside the eyelid
• Supports the cornea
• Decreases the risk of infection in the eye
• Prevents night blindness
• Prevents dry eyes
• Prevents ulcers

Carotenoids are a pre-vitamin A found in plant foods like kale, spinach, and leafy greens. Carotenoids are also fat-soluble and play an important role in supporting the macula and preventing macular degeneration.

If you don’t have a gallbladder, or you don’t have enough bile due to a congested or sluggish gallbladder, you’ll have trouble breaking down fat-soluble vitamins like carotenoids and vitamin A. This negatively affects the health of your eyes.

The gallbladder's function is to concentrate bile, which breaks down fat-soluble vitamins. If you’ve had your gallbladder removed, you have a bile deficiency, or you have a sluggish gallbladder, purified bile salts can assist in the breakdown of vitamin A and carotenoids.
