This is the first of a three-part series investigating the science behind lutein and zeaxanthin in relation to the retina. This first article will provide background information about carotenoids, explain how their structure relates to function within the retina, and describe specifically how lutein and zeaxanthin may be beneficial in the prevention of onset or progression of age-related macular disease.

The blue-light hazard
Age-related macular disease (AMD) is the leading cause of irreversible visual loss in the Developed World. In the UK, half of those registered as blind or partially sighted every year (approximately 30,000) have AMD.
Carotenoids are a family of pigments that are divided into two main groups: carotenes and xanthophylls. They are introduced to the human body through dietary means alone and although not considered to be essential micronutrients, they have important antioxidant and photoprotective properties. These functions have prompted interest in their potential role in prevention of disease.
