Lutein, zeaxanthin are part of the carotenoid family of antioxidants

But It will not reduce your glass power
It may help to maintain the power
The highest amount of dietary lutein is found in leafy green vegetables, such as:
spinach

leeks

With that
outdoor activities and decreasing the duration of near work like digital devices have been reported very helpful.
And monthly follow up is needed for thorough slit lamp examination and glass power and compliance and any retina complications
