Age-Related Eye
Disease Studies
AREDS2
The National Eye Institute (NEI) have conducted an AREDS2 studies and recommended the amount of Lutein and Zeaxanthin to slow down Aged-related Macular Degeneration is 10mg and 2mg respectively.
Researchers have shared that It’s possible that blue light exposure from extensive use of digital devices might increase a person’s risk of Macular Degeneration later in life.
However, long-term population studies needs to be done for more concrete conclusion as digital lifestyle have only begin in the last 5 – 10 years . But would it be too late for us… digital apes?
