A new study shows that astaxanthin supplementation can improve both acute and chronic digital eye strain in children.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAstaxanthin supplementation effectively reduced chronic and acute digital eye strain, while enhancing objective measures of visual performance in school-aged children\u201d, the study authors write.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS), also referred to as digital eye strain, describes a group of eye- and vision-related problems that result from prolonged computer, tablet, and e-reader and cell phone use. The symptoms include eye strain, headaches, blurred vision, and dry eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study participants (children) received a daily dose of 4 mg of astaxanthin (AstaReal) for 84 days. The findings indicate a significant improvement in the CVS symptoms compared with placebo, demonstrating a 20 percent reduction in symptoms. The results also showed a 27 percent improvement in visual fatigue as well as improved stereopsis and pupillary light reflexes after the trial period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study authors underscore the benefits of astaxanthin in pediatric visual health and performance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile previous studies focused on adults, this study examined astaxanthin\u2019s effects on developing eyes [in children]\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study included 64 children in the age group of 10-14 years who have at least four hours of screen time per day, and experience mild to moderate symptoms of computer vision syndrome (CVS). The study was randomized, double-blind and placebo controlled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study was published in the international medical journal Advances in Therapy<\/a>. Study authors Pankaj Negi and Megha Marwah are employed by AstaReal India Pvt. Ltd, Karen A. Hecht is employed by AstaReal Inc. and Vincent Wood is employed by AstaReal Singapore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
