Doctor's Best Lutein with Lutemax® 2020 is a comprehensive eye health formula featuring FloraGLO® lutein and Lutemax® 2020 — the only macular carotenoid complex clinically shown to improve three macular pigments: lutein, RR-zeaxanthin, and RS (meso)-zeaxanthin. Together these pigments form the macular pigment optical density (MPOD), which protects the macula from harmful blue light and oxidative damage. Available in 60-softgel and 180-softgel sizes.*

Frequently Asked Questions

What are lutein and zeaxanthin and why do eyes need them?

Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoid pigments that concentrate specifically in the macula of the eye — the central area of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. They act as internal sunglasses, filtering high-energy blue light before it can damage photoreceptors, and as antioxidants that neutralise free radicals generated by light exposure. The body cannot synthesise them — they must come from diet or supplements.*

What makes Lutemax 2020 different from other lutein supplements?

Most lutein supplements provide only lutein, or lutein with a small amount of zeaxanthin. Lutemax® 2020 is the only ingredient that provides all three macular carotenoids in a natural ratio similar to that found in the eye: lutein, RR-zeaxanthin, and RS (meso)-zeaxanthin. Clinical studies show Lutemax® 2020 raises MPOD more effectively than lutein alone, as all three pigments contribute to the protective macular pigment layer.*

Can lutein supplements help with digital eye strain?

Yes. Clinical research on Lutemax® 2020 specifically demonstrates improvements in digital eye strain symptoms — including eye fatigue, discomfort, and sleep quality disruption from blue light exposure — with regular supplementation. As screen time increases, maintaining optimal macular pigment density through lutein and zeaxanthin supplementation is increasingly important for eye comfort and long-term eye health.*

Should I take the 60-softgel or 180-softgel size?

Both provide the same Lutemax® 2020 formula per softgel. The 60-softgel size provides a 2-month trial. The 180-softgel is the economy size for those who have already experienced the benefits and want ongoing supply at better per-capsule value. Since lutein results build over 3+ months of consistent use, the larger size is recommended for sustained use.*
