New findings published in Optometry and Vision Science indicate that lutein and zeaxanthin may play a wider role than was previously thought in improving human eyesight.
Until recently, higher levels of these carotenoids in the retina were associated exclusively with a decreased risk of age-related macular degeneration, or AMD. The new findings suggest they can also improve the vision of people with healthy eyes.
Investigators from the University of Georgia, Athens, GA, demonstrated that 6 months of supplementation with FloraGLO lutein and OPTISHARP zeaxanthin significantly reduced the deleterious effects of glare on a test group of people with normal eyesight. These two carotenoids are formulated using special Actilease technology to help improve the bioavailability.
Exposure to glare can cause temporary blindness. Supplementation with FloraGLO lutein and OPTISHARP zeaxanthin may therefore have an important role to play in supporting the safety and well-being of people with healthy eyes, as well as those with AMD.
