This trial tests whether taking carotenoid supplements (like lutein and zeaxanthin) can improve vision. It is for healthy Chinese adults aged 35+ who have good eyesight, no serious eye diseases, and have not taken these supplements recently.
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.
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.
This trial tests whether a nutritional supplement can improve wellbeing and help your body absorb nutrients better. It might be a good fit if you are generally healthy and not already taking high-dose carotenoid supplements.
This study measures a pigment in the eye and also looks at other body tissues in people who have a specific inherited eye condition called adult vitelliform dystrophy. It may help researchers better understand the disease and how it can be confused with early age-related macular degeneration.
This trial tests a new way to deliver lutein, a nutrient that may help with eye health, directly into the eye using a mild electrical current (called iontophoresis). It is for people with intermediate age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a common cause of vision loss in older adults.
