The role of lutein and zeaxanthin supplements in nutrition, as discussed by leading optometrists, and their effects on macular degeneration and macular pigments. Taking lutein, zeaxanthin and dark green leafy vegetables such as spinach and kale can help with ocular nutrition. Caution is recommended for those with kidney stones or using blood thinners. Comments by Dr. Michael Lange OD CNS, certified nutrition specialist.
Fortifeye™ FOCUS is a combination of three carotenoids—astaxanthin, lutein and zeaxanthin. Clinical studies indicate that 6mg of astaxanthin reduces eye fatigue symptomology and actually improves amplitude of accommodation, the eye’s ability to focus clearly on objects at near distances. This new formulation was developed to help reduce accommodative stress due to prolonged working at a near focal length. Fortifeye FOCUS is recommended for individuals who experience eye fatigue with near point tasks or after prolonged work on a computer. Fortifeye FOCUS can be used alone or in combination with any of the Fortifeye™ Vitamins.
