Are wolf berries & blueberries equal in the health benefits alleged for glaucoma?

Will both berries reduce eye pressure the same amount? Or is one better then the other?

Since nobody has answered yet, I'll toss in my 2 cents.
Both Blueberry and Goji Berry are high potency antioxidant fruits, which means they will both be very effective for protecting all the cells in your body (including your eyes).
I did some searching on Yahoo, but I couldn't find any set numbers to compare them, but Goji seems to be listed around 25,000 ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) units and Blueberries are listed at about 9,000 Antioxidant capacity per 1 cup serving size.... I couldn't find if those were based on the same measurements or not, but that's the closest I could find.
Either way, they're both good for your eyes among other things.

If you get wild blueberries, you will get the highest ORAC rating.
Diet can make a difference in the symptoms of glaucoma. Major changes in your diet should be discussed with your doctor.
