Macular pigment and lutein supplementation in retinitis pigmentosa and Usher syndrome. Invest Ophthalmol.Vis.Sci. 2001;42(8):1873-1881. View abstract. It's a vegan formulation that's specially designed to support your vision and the health of your eyes over the long term. While extended lifespans are certainly something to celebrate, they also mean that age−related sight problems are on the rise, so it's important to give your precious eyes plenty of support. Retinex® Max contains natural lutein and zeaxanthin, two powerful carotenoids found in high concentrations in the macula, the 'seeing' part of your eye. Lutein and zeaxanthin are also proven to absorb blue light, which is an added bonus for those who spend a lot of time with smartphones and computers! Why is ours better? Creutzfeldt, O. D.; Crook, J. M.; Kastner, S.; Li, C.-Y.; Pei, X. (1991). "The neurophysiological correlates of colour and brightness contrast in lateral geniculate neurons: 1. Population analysis". Experimental Brain Research. 87 (1): 3–21. doi: 10.1007/bf00228503. PMID 1756832. S2CID 1363735.

In fact, research has shown that age-related macular degeneration is associated with reduced levels of lutein and zeaxanthin in the macula, and that those living with the condition have, on average, 70 per cent less carotenoid pigments in their eyes than those with healthy vision.The results of AREDS 2 showed a similar reduction in risk of progression to late AMD as in the first AREDS formula.

As we get older, the risk of poor eyesight increases, with the most common causes being cataracts, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Many of these conditions are also progressive – which means that there is always a benefit to starting an eye health routine, even if you have one of these conditions already. They add vitamin B2, which is proven to contribute to normal vision. This vitamin also acts as an antioxidant, combating the cell damage that occurs over time due to everyday environmental stresses. a b c d e Foster, David H. (2011). "Color Constancy".

A study, published by JAMA Ophthalmology, found that those who ate enough leafy greens had a lower risk of getting primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). 5 We are, however, no longer only exposed to blue light via sunlight. Modern living means we have artificial light on demand, and recently residential lighting has changed from incandescent to light emitting diodes (LEDs), which, although appearing white in colour, actually emit high levels of blue light. 1 What's more, digital device usage has dramatically increased, with many people being exposed to blue light from computers, televisions, smartphones and tablets from the moment they wake up right until they go to sleep. 1, 3 The retinex theory of colour vision" Proc.

When we go skiing or snowboarding, we're most likely trying to avoid broken limbs, but in fact a common injury is eye damage from the sun.

Worryingly, surveys show that many skiers only occasionally wear sun protection in the snow, exposing not only their skin but their eyes to harmful ultraviolet light from the sun. UVA and UVB rays are invisible but can damage the eyes causing not only a type of sunburn of the eyes called photokeratitis and temporary snow blindness, but also longer-term damage such as cataracts.
