Wouldn't it be a terrible mistake to take the health of your hard-working eyes for granted? Sun fatigue, eye strain, digital device light and lack of nutrients in the diet can lead to free-radical damage to your eyes—Swanson Synergistic Eye Health can help.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.swansonvitamins.com\/blog\/articles\/lutein-and-zeaxanthin-benefits-to-help-protect-your-eyes-and-skin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eLutein and zeaxanthin\u003c\/a\u003e are the only two \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.swansonvitamins.com\/blog\/articles\/what-are-carotenoids.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ecarotenoids\u003c\/a\u003e your body selects for protection in the eyes. One of the most important abilities of zeaxanthin and lutein is filtering out near-to-UV blue sunlight, potentially the most damaging wavelength of visible light, in the retina's light-sensitive macula cells. Sunlight is the largest source of blue light. Artificial sources of blue light include fluorescent light, LED TVs, computer monitors, smartphones and tablet screens. We are frequently exposed to blue light through the digital screens that have become ubiquitous in modern life. Lutein and zeaxanthin provide \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.swansonvitamins.com\/blog\/articles\/build-xtraordinary-eyes-nutrition-for-eye-health.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003esupport for ocular health by absorbing blue light\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLutein and zeaxanthin accumulate in the macula, the portion of the retina responsible for central vision, where they help form macular pigment. Their antioxidant properties help protect the macula and other eye tissues and help maintain healthy eyes which is particularly important as we age. Lutein and zeaxanthin are found in high concentrations not only in the retina but also in the brain where they act as antioxidants to support cognitive health. These essential nutrients help maintain healthy brain function and cognitive abilities throughout life. Your body can't make lutein or zeaxanthin itself, leaving diet and supplementation as the only means to acquire these vital vision antioxidants. Swanson Synergistic Eye Health delivers fat-soluble lutein and zeaxanthin in sunflower seed oil softgels for better absorbability.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Swanson Vitamins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46319112749194,"sku":"SWU986","price":13.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/8139\/0474\/files\/e2962eff-2186-45d6-835b-73a100b6543f_large_8edb104e-3a6a-4235-aabf-33d670edd9f2.jpg?v=1769003564","url":"https:\/\/www.swansonvitamins.com\/products\/swanson-ultra-synergistic-eye-formula-lutein-zeaxanthin-60-sgels","provider":"Swanson Vitamins","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
