- Bioactive plant sourced ingredients
- Protects against blue light
Have you ever noticed how your eyes feel after a day at your computer screen, or a scrolling session on your glowing phone. Unfortunately, with so much time spent on our screens, we’re straining our eyes with the high energy blue light emitted by our devices. The human eye isn’t used to handling so much artificial light, and it’s starting to show. Today, it’s estimated that over 80% of people suffer from digital eye strain.
Eye Defence has been specifically formulated not only to safeguard eyes from blue light but to improve visual performance with our quickly-changing world in mind. We have made the ultimate carotenoid eye blend to keep your eyes sharp well into later life.
Together’s blend of powerful carotenoids lutein, zeaxanthin, astaxanthin and beta-carotene work together to prevent this break-down process from happening. Eye Defence absorbs high-energy blue light without releasing damaging A2E, and ensures the body powers-up on necessary nutrients that are increasingly difficult to source from food alone. Clinically shown to provide the full range of eye health benefits including:
- Reduced glare sensitivity and improved recovery (no more squinting)- Enhanced night vision and contrast sensitivity
- Increased visual performance and acuity
- Ability to maintain efficient vision
- Reduced eye strain and eye fatigue from high-energy blue light
- Supported quality sleep and head comfort
- Improved recovery from photo stress and faster retinal response
- Protection against junk light
Not only does this product contain the highest concentration of carotenoids it is also unique because it is fully purified with no heavy metals, processing aids, pesticides, or other environmental contaminants.
Technology brings us many benefits and Eye Defence allows us to protect our eyes from this reality of the modern world.
