Description:
Each day we are exposed to digital phones, tablets and computer screens—as well as the blue spectrum of light they emit. The macular pigment in our eyes needs special nutrients called carotenoids to maintain the pigment density necessary to filter out blue light before it reaches the photoreceptors in the retina. Lutein and zeaxanthin are called macular carotenoids for a reason: these compounds are the predominant carotenoids found in your eyes, mostly in the pigmented area called the macula. The more lutein and zeaxanthin your macular pigment has, the better it can filter blue or digital light. They also support visual health and acuity by helping to maintain delicate eye tissues when exposed to oxidative stress. Since many of us use our digital devices as much as 11 hours a day, it’s good to give our eyes the nutritional support they need to help filter out digital light. Our Digital Eye Support supplement provides the clinically studied macular carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin in orange-flavored soft chews. The marigold extract in this eye health supplement provides lutein and both zeaxanthin isomers at the same 5:1 ratio found in nature. It has produced positive changes in several variables, including macular pigment density, serum carotenoid levels and response to glare and visual stress caused by light. Glare is when exposure to bright light makes it difficult to see clearly. Over a 12-month period, lutein and zeaxanthin in our Digital Eye Support soft chews produced positive changes the tolerable threshold of intensity where eyesight was affected by glare. Sometimes it takes time for the eyes to adjust and start re-transmitting visual cues to your brain after exposure to bright light. This “whiteout” period is called photostress, and it’s normal. The lutein and zeaxanthin in our Digital Eye Support soft chews produced positive changes in photostress recovery times.
