According to research just published in Molecular Vision, lutein and zeaxanthin may reduce the risk of cataract by protecting the eye from oxidative stress; the protective effect was similar to that reported for vitamin E.

This research further highlights the critical role played by lutein and zeaxanthin in promoting eye health.
