Zeaxanthin is in addition to lutein the only other major carotenoid specifically located in the macula of the eye. Zeaxanthin is the most potent antioxidant carotenoid found in the retina and acts as a filter and shield against the damaging near-to-UV blue light from the sun. Higher dietary intake of foods rich in lutein and zeaxanthin has been associated with a reduced risk of macular degeneration and cataracts. Zeaxanthin cannot be synthesized by humans and must be taken from the diet. The recent findings of scientific studies point to a zeaxanthin role also for visual performance in healthy people
