With few effective treatments and currently no cure, prevention is vital. Many studies suggest that antioxidants, particularly the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin, may help to prevent degenerative eye diseases such as cataracts and AMD. Lutein and zeaxanthin are found in green leafy vegetables, egg yolks and animal fats. The <a href="http://www.nutraingredients.com/content/search?SearchText=carotenoids" target="_blank">carotenoids</a> proposedly reduce the risk of AMD by absorbing blue light that could damage the macula, preventing free radicals from damaging eye cells and strengthening eye cell membranes. Biogen Optimal Eye Health provides individuals with effective quantities of various carotenoids (incl. the scientifically studied Xangold® natural lutein esters), phytochemicals, vitamins and minerals which have been shown to play a positive role in preserving optimal eye health with age. The formula has also been designed to ensure the effective absorption of all substances. <br /> Studies have also indicated that lutein improves heart health, protects the skin against UV damage and reduces diabetes induced oxidative stress. </p> <table width="100%" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td bgcolor="#BC1020" colspan="2"><h2>Important Notice </h2></td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#D3D3D5" colspan="2">Please consult your physician before use [especially if you have a medical condition, including diabetes, hypertension, parathyroid disorders, osteoporosis, an allergy to fish or iodine, when using blood thinning drugs (e.g. Warfarin), if you have a diagnosed cardiac condition or immune disorder, or anticipate surgery].
