Diets strong in Lutein (often thought of as the “Vision Vitamin”) and Zeaxanthin have been shown to improve macular health in the eye, helping prevent age related cataract and retinal degeneration as well as blue light related macular damage. 

Lutein and Zeaxanthin are the only dietary carotenoids that accumulate in the retina, forming the yellow pigments that absorb shortwave blue light. Studies suggest that high levels of these nutrients leads to better vision, especially in low light or when experiencing glare.

Because lutein is not naturally synthesized by humans, intake depends primarily on diet supplementation. This is where EyeCandy can help.
