Deshanie Rai, PhD, FACN, vice president of global science, regulatory, and advocacy at OmniActive Health Technologies was invited to this year’s Eye Health Summit, hosted by integrative ophthalmologist Dr. Rudrani Banik.

There, she will highlight the role of macular carotenoids in protecting eye health and supporting vision performance. The hybrid summit, taking place May 1-7, will bring together experts in eye care, nutrition, and wellness to explore holistic strategies to support eye health. OmniActive is a lead sponsor of the event.

Rai will take part in a master class session called “Nutrition and Lifestyle For Your Eyes,” where she’ll discuss the role of macular carotenoids in supporting ocular health throughout the life cycle, reducing eye strain, and preventing age-related macular degeneration. As part of the class, she’ll spotlight the Lutemax Kids Study, a six-month randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study published in 2024. Children between the ages of five and 12 who were given a lutein and zeaxanthin supplement showed significant improvements in aspects of cognitive health, such as attention, memory, visual processing speed, and reduced digital eye strain.

“We’re excited to contribute to this important conversation and education event,” said Rai. “Our goal is to provide attendees with practical, science-based information to help support eye health through an integrative approach that also includes macular carotenoids, the only nutrients exclusively accumulated in the macula and that the body cannot make.”
