Perfect Eyes

Why Perfect Eyes?

This carotenoid-rich formula is based on the results of the AREDS study in 2001 and 2006. The first study found that a blend of vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, zinc, and copper helped reduce the risk of advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD) by 25% over five years. A second study added lutein, zeaxanthin, and omega-3 fatty acids to the blend for additional benefits. Our lutein partner in India supplies non-GMO seeds to local farmers and is fully committed to sustainability. They also work with Shankar Indian Ophthalmological Institute to offer free eye exams, eyeglasses and cataract treatment, which is a common cause of blindness in India, to local residents.

History of Perfect Eyes

• Beta-carotene is the yellow or orange pigment that gives color to many vegetables, fruits, flowers, and other plants. It was first crystallized from carrot roots in 1831. Beta-carotene means "carrot B" from Greek beta + Latin carota. In 1851, Hermann von Helmholtz invented the ophthalmoscope, which led to the discovery of the fovea in the human eyeball. This area of the macula has densely packed conical cells and is responsible for the visual acuity required for daily activities such as face recognition and reading. It wasn't until 1988 that researchers identified lutein, zeaxanthin, and mesoseaxanthin as key components of the macula. This area is yellow because absorbed pigments from colored foods are stored there.
• Blueberries, also known as leafy blueberries and European blueberries, have traditionally been used to soothe intestinal pain and for oral use. Homeland is Northern Europe. During World War II, RAF pilots used blueberry jam before taking off to improve night vision.
