Blackmores Lutein-Vision Advanced is a convenient one-a-day dosage and helps to: Provide protection to the macular region of the eye from free radical damage Increase the density of the macular pigment of the retina Contains omega-3 fatty acids important for eye health Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids found in the human eye, the highest concentration is found in the macular area of the retina. The macula is responsible for central vision. Our ability to recognise faces, read, drive, and see colours and contrast are all dependent on a healthy macula. They are also present in the lens.
