DOI: 10.1093/advances/nmab071
Abstract: Lutein, zeaxanthin, and meso-zeaxanthin are the only carotenoids found in the human macula and may have a role in visual function. These carotenoids are reported to protect the retina, and thus vision, as antioxidants and… read more here.

Macular pigment optical density of hyperopic anisometropic amblyopic patients measured by fundus reflectometry
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Frontiers in Medicine"
DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2022.991423
Abstract: Purpose Hyperopic anisometropia is a major cause of amblyopia and may be associated with macular pigment optical density (MPOD) reduction. To explore whether the MPOD changes in hyperopic anisometropic amblyopia, we measured the MPOD using… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/nu12040888
Abstract: Macular pigment (MP), which is composed of lutein/zeaxanthin/mezo-zeaxanthin, is concentrated in the central part of the retina, the macula. It protects the macula by absorbing short-wavelength light and suppressing oxidative stress. To evaluate whether MP… read more here.
