Your Eye Support Score

Answer six questions about your eyes and daily habits. You’ll get a score out of 100 and simple, personal tips. This is general information, not a vision test.

Why antioxidants matter for your eyes

Your eyes work in bright light from morning to night. The retina at the back of the eye is one of the most energy-hungry tissues in the body, and constant exposure to light and oxygen produces unstable molecules called free radicals. Over the years, the wear they cause — oxidative stress — is believed to be one of the processes behind age-related changes in the eye.

The body fights back with antioxidants, many of which come from food. Two of them, lutein and zeaxanthin, collect in the macula — the small part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision — where they help filter high-energy blue light.

The U.S. National Eye Institute studied lutein and zeaxanthin, along with vitamins C and E and zinc, in AREDS2 — a large study that followed thousands of adults aged 50 to 85 for about five years. Many eye formulas today are built on that same group of nutrients.

The problem is getting enough of them. The richest sources are dark leafy greens like kale and spinach, and estimates suggest most Americans get only a couple of milligrams of lutein a day — far less than the amounts researchers studied.

What to look for in an eye supplement

  • Lutein and zeaxanthin — the two carotenoids most closely tied to the macula.
  • Antioxidant vitamins and zinc — vitamins C and E help neutralize free radicals; zinc is found in high levels in the eye.
  • Plant antioxidants such as bilberry, a deep-purple cousin of the blueberry rich in anthocyanins.
  • A complete label and testing for purity and potency.
  • A money-back guarantee long enough to give it a fair try.

Good to know before you order:

Common questions

How do I take TheyaVue?

Follow the directions on the label. Lutein and zeaxanthin are fat-soluble, so many people take eye supplements with a meal that includes some healthy fat.

How long before I notice anything?

It varies, and some people may not notice a difference. Nutrients like these build up gradually, so think in months of consistent use. The 60-day guarantee gives you time to decide.

Can I take it with other vitamins?

Ask your doctor or pharmacist first, especially if you already take a multivitamin or another eye supplement, so you don’t double up on nutrients like zinc.

Where can I buy it?

The company sells TheyaVue through its official website, which is the way to be sure you get the genuine product and the money-back guarantee.
