Lutein Focus Randomized TrialResults Across the 9 RCTs, lutein-containing supplementation significantly improved MPOD (Hedges' g = -0.589, p p = 0.001).1Wang WX (2026)From Supplements to Sight: Quantifying the Impact of Lutein and Carotenoid on Age-Related Macular Degeneration-A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.
Lutein Focus Randomized TrialContrast sensitivity and serum lutein concentrations also improved significantly.1Wang WX (2026)From Supplements to Sight: Quantifying the Impact of Lutein and Carotenoid on Age-Related Macular Degeneration-A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.
Lutein Focus Randomized TrialConclusion Lutein-based supplementation is associated with measurable structural and functional visual benefits in early-stage AMD.1Wang WX (2026)From Supplements to Sight: Quantifying the Impact of Lutein and Carotenoid on Age-Related Macular Degeneration-A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.
Lutein Focus Randomized TrialPurpose To quantify the effects of lutein-containing supplementation on structural and functional visual outcomes in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD), with particular focus on disease stage and treatment exposure.1Wang WX (2026)From Supplements to Sight: Quantifying the Impact of Lutein and Carotenoid on Age-Related Macular Degeneration-A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.
Lutein Focus Randomized Trial7 9 The standard of care for many IRDs has largely focused on managing associated complications and the use of optical aids to improve quality of life.4Barthelemy Normila (2026)Nutritional supplements: current evidence for retinitis pigmentosa and Stargardt disease
Lutein Focus Randomized TrialThis review synthesizes both historical and contemporary evidence regarding dietary and nutritional interventions for IRDs.  14 Retinitis pigmentosa is one of the most common IRDs and is characterized by progressive photoreceptor cell death.4Barthelemy Normila (2026)Nutritional supplements: current evidence for retinitis pigmentosa and Stargardt disease
Lutein Focus Randomized TrialBy applying next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology to DNA samples stored from patients of the previous vitamin A trials, they were able to identify the specific RP gene variants for most participants and the lack of protective effect across genetic subtypes such as,and-associated retinitis pigmentosa [].4Barthelemy Normila (2026)Nutritional supplements: current evidence for retinitis pigmentosa and Stargardt disease
Lutein Focus Randomized Trial1 4 5 6 Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) comprise a complex group of heterogenous disorders that lead to progressive retinal cell death and functional vision loss.4Barthelemy Normila (2026)Nutritional supplements: current evidence for retinitis pigmentosa and Stargardt disease
