The effects of lutein/ zeaxanthin (Lute-gen®) on eye health, eye strain, sleep quality, and attention in high electronic screen users: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study

The results from this study provide support for the beneficial effects of 6 months of lutein and zeaxanthin supplementation on regular users of electronic screens. Compared to the placebo, there were improvements in several ophthalmic examinations for dry eyes and visual health. However, these findings were not corroborated by group differences in the administered self-report measures. Lutein and zeaxanthin were well tolerated, with no serious adverse effects or significant changes in vital signs or blood safety measures.

Abstract

The results from this study provide support for the beneficial effects of 6 months of lutein and zeaxanthin supplementation on regular users of electronic screens. Compared to the placebo, there were improvements in several ophthalmic examinations for dry eyes and visual health. However, these findings were not corroborated by group differences in the administered self-report measures. Lutein and zeaxanthin were well tolerated, with no serious adverse effects or significant changes in vital signs or blood safety measures.
