Why you should take ocular supplements?

Age-Related macular degeneration is one of the leading causes of blindness that comes with age.  Research has shown that Chinese are more prone to age-related degeneration of the macula than our Malay or Indian counterparts. Other factors include age, a positive family history of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), low macular pigment density and smoking is the greatest at risk here. The density of macular pigments decrease as we age, predisposing those with already lower than normal macular pigment density individuals to AMD! Studies conducted over the years have shown that consumption of lutein supplements will increase the macular pigment density more effectively than Zeaxanthin or Omega-3. You do not have to be old to start taking such supplements, starting young will offer you protection for the later years!

Why are macular pigments important?

Just like melanin pigments on our skin, macula pigments are our body’s natural sunglass, protecting our macular against harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun. Increasing its density only means that you have greater protection for your macular!

The main benefit of increased macular pigment density:

-Reduced risk of degeneration of macular that can cause BLINDNESS

Other benefits may include:

Increased Visual Acuity (Sharper and clearer central vision)

-Increased Contrast Sensitivity (Clearer vision at night, better appreciation of vision)

Reduced glare recovery time
