Medicine Description lutein
lutein oral drops 15 ml is a medication that contains a combination of multivitamins and minerals, specifically designed to support ocular health. Lutein is a carotenoid that is naturally found in the retina of the eye, where it absorbs harmful blue light and acts as an antioxidant. This mechanism helps to protect the eye cells from oxidative stress, which can lead to cellular damage. By increasing the intake of lutein along with other vitamins and minerals, it contributes to maintaining the integrity of the retinal structure and function, potentially reducing the risk of developing age-related eye conditions.
