Between LED lighting and digital screens, our children are increasingly exposed to blue light. Concerns about its potential effects on their health are growing: both the retina and circadian rhythms may be at risk. But how can we protect them? Filtering screens and lenses seem to offer minimal benefit, while boosting the intake of nutrients that make up the eye’s natural defenses has proven to be a more promising strategy.
Diet also plays a role in age-related macular degeneration. But are there any effective macular degeneration supplements? A new study seems to say yes and suggests their ingredients: Omega 3, lutein and zeaxanthin.
Taking zeaxanthin, alone or combined with lutein and Omega 3 , increases visual processing speed by approximately 10% compared to placebo, in young, healthy subjects.
Omega-3 and antioxidant supplements alleviate the symptoms of dry eye syndrome and alter the composition of tears in patients with both mild and moderate dry eye syndrome.
Omega-3 fatty acids found in sea buckthorn oil – a plant native to Europe and Asia – help reduce the symptoms of dry eye syndrome (hypolacrimia).
A new study finds that a formulation of lutein, zeaxanthin and fatty acids omega 3 EPA and DHA increase the density of ocular pigmentation in people suffering from the dry form of AMD (Age-Related Macular Degeneration), a degenerative macular disease that leads to a slow but progressive loss of vision.
According to a study recently published in the journal Cornea, supplementation with omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids may reduce the symptomatic spectrum of dry eye syndrome.
Omega-3 fatty acids significantly reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This is demonstrated by research conducted by William Christen and colleagues at Harvard Medical School (Boston, USA).

Omega 3 fatty acids are effective in treating retinopathy , a disease that affects premature babies and diabetics. And researchers at Harvard Medical School in Boston (USA) have demonstrated the molecular mechanisms underlying this effect.
