We live through our screens — phones, laptops, tablets, LED lights. And while tech has made life easier, it’s also taken a toll on our eyes.
You’ve likely felt it: blurred vision, dryness, fatigue, disrupted sleep. Most of us know what the culprit is: Blue light — high-energy light from digital devices that penetrates deep into the eye and triggers oxidative stress.
But here’s what most people don’t know:
Your eyes already have a built-in defence — and you can boost it with the right nutrients.
Two of the core ingredients in Royal Oak Health's Eyebright Plus, lutein and zeaxanthin, literally become the natural yellow filter in the centre of your retina that helps absorb blue light, known as the macular pigment. And the more of these pigments you have, the stronger your protection.
A closer look at your internal blue light shield
The macula, responsible for sharp central vision, is protected by a filter made of lutein and zeaxanthin — plant pigments your body can’t produce on its own.
These pigments do two extraordinary things:
-
Absorb blue light in the 400–500 nm range — the same wavelength emitted by screens
-
Neutralise free radicals caused by light exposure — protecting retinal cells from damage
This protection is measured by something called Macular Pigment Optical Density (MPOD) — and studies show that MPOD increases with supplementation. Take a look at the 2023 review in Nutrients confirmed that regular supplementation improves MPOD, supports visual function, and reduces screen-related eye fatigue.
What Else Does Eyebright Plus Do?
Each capsule delivers a science-backed blend for deep, cellular eye protection:
-
Lutein + Zeaxanthin — core macular pigments
-
Astaxanthin — rare antioxidant that crosses the blood–retina barrier
-
Lycopene — protects against long-term retinal stress
-
Bilberry — rich in anthocyanins to support eye microcirculation
-
Eyebright — a traditional herb for soothing dryness and irritation
-
Vitamin A, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Wild Carrot Root — for full-spectrum ocular nourishment
Your Eyes Weren’t Built for Screens — But You Can Help Them Adapt
We all know we weren’t designed for the level of screen time modern life demands. While it’s always good practice to reduce it where possible — take breaks, look into the distance, blink more often — the reality is, that’s not always realistic.
But here’s what’s incredible: your eyes can adapt, if you feed their natural defences — by taking just one capsule a day with food.
With daily support from lutein, zeaxanthin, and astaxanthin, your body can:
-
Strengthen macular pigment to filter blue light where it matters most
-
Combat oxidative stress caused by constant exposure
-
Enhance contrast, clarity, and glare tolerance
-
Soothe tired, dry eyes from digital strain
This isn’t about masking symptoms — it’s about strengthening your eyes’ own protection in a world they weren’t built for.
