Lutein, Zeaxanthin, and Fish Oil for Macular Health
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Eyes & vision, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking daily supplements of lutein, zeaxanthin, and fish oil can improve the protective pigment in your eyes. It may help people with low macular pigment and good vision who are not already taking high doses of these nutrients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your macular pigment density must be low (below 0.43) as measured by a special eye test.
- Your vision should be at least 20/40 in each eye (with glasses or contacts if you wear them).
- Your body mass index (BMI) should be between 18.5 and 30.
- You cannot be allergic to lutein, zeaxanthin, or fish oil.
- You must not have taken high-dose lutein or zeaxanthin supplements for more than 2 months before the study starts.

This trial studies whether taking omega-3 fatty acids can slow the worsening of dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in people with early or intermediate disease. It may help by testing if omega-3 changes how the retina changes over time.
This study compares the effects of eating goji berries versus taking fiber wafers on age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It looks at whether goji berries or fiber can help slow down the eye condition, especially for people with a family history of AMD.
This study focuses on people age 50+ with early “wasting away” changes in the macula (central retina) called atrophic lesions. It aims to better understand how these early changes progress and how they affect vision testing, which may help improve future treatments.
This study tests whether improving your diet through online meetings can help slow early age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a condition affecting vision. You'll meet with a counselor remotely to make healthier food choices.
This study uses a special camera to take pictures of the back of your eye (retina) to see how age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects everyday activities like reading and recognizing faces. It also compares people with AMD to healthy volunteers to understand the differences.
This study tests whether a supplement containing lutein, zeaxanthin, and meso-zeaxanthin can increase the amount of these nutrients in your skin. You will take the supplement and a placebo at different times to see if there is a difference.
