Our eyes are constantly exposed to sunlight and artificial lighting, which can generate free radicals that have harmful effects on ocular cells. After middle age, our natural antioxidant production decreases, and the pigments in our eyes change. Lutein, zeaxanthin are two key ingredients in this formula that may reduce the risk of light-induced oxidative damage that could lead to age-related macular degeneration. These two nutrients benefit eye health by blocking blue light from reaching the underlying structures in the retina. Perfect Eyes® includes Vitamin A (beta-carotene), Vitamin C, zinc, selenium, copper, lutein and zeaxanthin ingredients inspired by the AREDS study (age-related eye disease study) that supports eye health and maintains healthy vision.*
WHY PERFECT EYES®?
This carotenoid-rich formula follows the AREDS study findings from 2001 and 2006. The first study found that a blend of vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, zinc and copper helped reduce the risk of progression on Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) by 25% in five years. The second study added lutein, zeaxanthin and omega-3 fatty acids to the mix for added benefits. Our lutein partner in India provides non-GMO seeds to local farmers, and they’re fully committed to sustainability. They also work with the Shankara Eyecare Institute of India to offer free eye exams, provide glasses and help locals with cataracts, a common cause of blindness in India.*
