Myopia patients taking lutein is generally not relevant to play a therapeutic role.
Myopia is a common ophthalmic disease, belonging to a type of refractive error, its occurrence and bad eye habits and genetic factors have a relationship. Lutein is a nutrient, not a drug, for retinal protection, antioxidant and so on, but for the control of myopia does not have a role.
Lutein is needed for normal growth and development of the body, and it cannot be synthesized by the body itself, but needs to be consumed from food. Lutein is mainly capable of absorbing harmful blue light and scavenging disease-causing free radicals. If there is a lack of lutein, the body’s antioxidant capacity can be reduced, which can lead to dry eyes, blurred vision, macular degeneration and other discomforts.
It is recommended that myopic patients seek medical attention in a timely manner to assess their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
