Why can lutein protect the eyes
Many people know that lutein can protect the eyes, but why lutein can protect the eyes is not clear, which starts with our retina. There are two main carotenoids in the macular area of the retina: lutein and its isomer zeaxanthin. Lutein can improve vision by improving aberration and protect the central retina.
Its benefits to the eyes can mainly be reflected in the following three aspects:
1. Lutein, the main pigment component of the retina, is the most important pigment in the macula of the retina of the eye, which has an important protective effect on the macula in the retina. When lacking, it is easy to cause macular disease and central vision blurring until dark shadows appear, and even complete blindness. 2. Protect the eyes from light damage Our eyes are very sensitive to light, blue light and ultraviolet light in visible light can directly damage the lens and fundus retina, and will “oxidize” tissue cells, produce free radicals, accelerate the aging of the human eye. Lutein has antioxidant, anti-free radical effect, can absorb harmful light, protect our visual cells from damage.
3. Helping to prevent the occurrence of eye diseases can prevent the occurrence of age-related macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa and other diseases. In addition, lutein can also protect vision, delay the deepening of myopia, effectively alleviate visual fatigue, improve blurred vision, eye dryness, eye pain, eye distention, photophobia and so on.
