Lutein, zeaxanthin are part of the carotenoid family of antioxidants
.
They are found in the cells of many types of plants and human retina.
these nutrients may help:
suppress inflammation
defend against free radicals and oxidative stress
enhance the sharpness of your vision
improve your visual contrast sensitivity
reduce glare impairment
protect eye tissue from sunlight damage
reduce cell loss and death related to eye disease
protect your eyes from harmful blue light.
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
broccoli
lettuce
parsley
basil
leeks
peas
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
Reduce excessive near work ,
limit screen time ,
increase outdoor time,
can follow 20 rule that is look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds after 20 min of screen time/near work to reduce eye starin .
eat balanced diet
Some studies like ATOM study have shown delay in progression of myopia with drop Atropine 0.03 % or various other percentage but it cant stop progression of myopia .
