Protect your Eyes 

See the Ball

The macula and the collective accumulation of key antioxidants referred as macular pigment is a critical part of the eye function. In general life and in sports it has been strongly linked to visual performance in situations of low light, colour detection, contrast sensitivity.

The macular pigment is composed of dietary carotinoids – luetin, zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin. These antioxidants reduce haramful free radicals and and protect the eyes by absorbing damaging short- wavelength blue light – source computer screens, phones.
They also protect the macula from cumulative damage resulting in age-related macular disease.

So whether you are having trouble driving your car at night or having trouble picking up a 100 mile/hour fast ball you need assess the health of your macular pigment and take appropriate action.
