If you're getting digital eye strain and experiencing a decline in eyesight, consider lutein and zeaxanthin
Taking 10 mg of lutein and 2 mg of zeaxanthin has been seen to increase macular pigment optical density (MPOD), a marker of eye health, by 25% after 6 months
They also saw improved visual and cognitive performance and reduced eye strain

In a 2021 meta-analysis of 46 randomized controlled trials, lutein and zeaxanthin at doses of 5-20 mg/day improved macular pigment optical density, but doses below 5 mg didn't
Thus, above 5 mg is needed for an effect
