Mechanism of Eye Protecting:The eyes are repositories for carotenoids with lutein and zeaxanthin concentrated in the retina and lens. In the eye, lutein is the primary carotenoid present in the central area of the retina, called macula. Lutein is thought to act as a filter to protect the light-sensitive photoreceptor cells (cone cells) in macula from potentially damaging forms of light and light-originated free radical damages. Dietary lutein is considered an essential micronutrient for normal vision.
