Screen time with computers, televisions, phones, and tablets is having an impact on the eye health of consumers young and old.
The recent Blue Light User Exposure (B.L.U.E.) study examined subjects with long duration exposure to digital screens and other sources of high-energy blue light, and found that supplementation with lutein, RR-zeaxanthin, and RS (meso)-zeaxanthin from OmniActive’s Lutemax 2020 had beneficial effects on ocular health and performance, as well as sleep quality, eye strain, and fatigue.
James Stringham, PhD, lead researcher of the B.L.U.E. study, discussed the results of this trial, as well as the importance of lutein, RR-zeaxanthin, and RS (meso)-zeaxanthin at each stage of life, and the need to ensure efficacious amounts for healthy vision over a lifetime.

Nearly constant screen time impacts health, Dr. Stringham explained, with a wide range of symptoms now being linked to high-energy blue light exposure.
