16. Anatomy of the eye
For our sharp vision
the macula of the retina is responsible!
17. Let’s see the components,
which can contribute
THE MOST
to the health of your eyes:
18. Lutein & Zeaxanthin
• Lutein & zeaxanthin are
the two most important
components of the macula!
• Act like “inner sunglasses” ,
they protect the health of the
retina against the harmful effects
of UV radiation and strong
light.
• Due to their antioxidant
properties, also contribute to the
blocking of harmful oxidative
free radicals.
19. Bilberry

normal functioning of
retina.

levels of the collagen
content of the eyes.

(RAF) reported improved night vision after
eating bilberry jam.
20. Vitamin A & Vitamin C
Indispensable
for the
normal functioning
of the retina!

Lutein and added to its active ingredient
4 more antioxidants:

product for whom the preservation of
sharp vision is important!
