Will your eyes get worse if you take a lutein and zeaxanthin eye supplement? i have normal vision but trying to improve it. are there any side effects
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lutein & zeaxanthin: Lutein & zeaxanthin are anti-oxidants that help protect the retina against aging/stress. They do not make your eye worse. The best way to get these in your body is with natural foods unless you have confluent drusen in your retina (see eyedoc2020@blogspot.com).
