Kids & Screen Time: A Natural Solution to a Modern Problem

With screen time becoming greater and greater, around half of all children and adolescents experience computer vision syndrome (CVS), or digital eye strain.

In this double-blind study, 64 children were given either a placebo or 4mg of the carotene astaxanthin for 84 days. There was a significantly better 20% improvement on CVS scores, a validated questionnaire for measuring CVS.

In addition to significantly improved eye strain, astaxanthin also led to significantly greater improvement in depth perception, pupillary light reflex, and tearing.

The study suggests astaxanthin as part of a natural solution to a common tech problem.
