Lutein and Zeaxanthin Associated with Healthy Eye Function

A new study presented recently at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology provides confirmation that the level of macular pigment, comprised of lutein and zeaxanthin from the diet, can positively impact visual performance in individuals with normal eye health and function.

During the baseline testing of 111 healthy young subjects in a one-year, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study, researchers measured macular pigment, glare disability, photostress recovery time and contrast enhancement at the Vision Science Laboratory of the University of Georgia.

Macular pigment varied widely among the subjects but was significantly and positively correlated with glare disability, photostress recovery time and contrast enhancement. The current study is part of an intervention study, now in progress, which is testing whether supplementing with FloraGLO Lutein from Kemin Industries and OPTISHARP Zeaxanthin from DSM Nutritional Products leads to improved visual performance by increasing the level of macular pigment.
