Makulin® Blue Protect is designed for people who want to protect their eyes and maintain normal vision functions.

It is specially designed for:

– people who often work and/or stay outdoors: construction workers, farmers, truck drivers, athletes, police officers…

– people who spend a lot of time in front of digital devices (computer screens, tablets, mobile phones): students, pupils, people doing office work with the help of computers

Proof of quality - FloraGLO®

FloraGLO® is a suspension with lutein extracted from marigold flowers (Tagetes erecta). Lutein is primarily found in the retina (especially in the yellow spot, macula lutea) and the lens of the eye.

FloraGLO® lutein is the most studied brand of lutein in the world. It has superior absorption because it provides the same absorbable form of lutein found in vegetables and other foods.

FloraGLO® lutein was used in the Age-Related Eye Disease Study 2 (AREDS2).

Bilberry

Bilberry helps protect eyes. Bilberry fruits contain sugars, organic acids, phenolic acids, flavonoids and anthocyanins. Fresh fruits contain 0.5% of anthocyanin. Bilberry protects the blood vessels of the eye and retinal photoreceptors.

Zinc

Zinc helps to maintain normal vision and protect cells from oxidative stress.

Elementary visual functions include:

• Adaptation

Adaptation is the adaptation of the eye to different levels of light and darkness. It is realized by changing the aperture of the iris (pupil).

• Accomodation

Eye accommodation is the ability of the eye lens to change its optical power to maintain a clear image when looking at both near and distant objects. The ciliary muscle located in the eyeball has an important role in this process. 

• Visual acuity

It refers to the ability of the eye to see two closely observed adjacent points separately, that is, to notice very close adjacent lines separately.

• Contrast

In a subjective sense, contrast is the assessment of the difference in appearance of two areas of the visual field observed simultaneously or sequentially (apparent contrast). For example, a standard text consisting of black letters on a white background has a very high contrast.

• Observation speed

Observation speed is the reciprocal of the time interval between the appearance of an object or contrast and its observation.

• Deep vision

Deep vision is the ability to distinguish between objects at different distances. When viewing with both eyes, the sensitivity to differences in distance is very high, for example, a spacing of 0,4 mm can be perceived at the distance of 1 meter.
