Fort Lauderdale, FL, Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In today’s digital world, screen time is unavoidable, and extensive daily use can take a toll. In fact, eye strain linked to digital use may affect 50% or more of computer users, according to a review published in the BMJ Open Ophthalmology journal.1 Not only that, but the blue light emitted by electronic devices has been associated with both visual and sleep issues. To offer support to weary workers, gamers and smartphone scrollers, Life Extension has launched Digital Eye Support soft chews, an innovative formula that offers two nutrients clinically studied to help eyes filter this blue light. Each soft chew is orange-flavored and individually wrapped.

Support the eye’s blue light filters
Our eyes are designed to filter blue light before it reaches the delicate photoreceptors in the retina. The macular pigment that protects our vision, however, needs special nutrients called carotenoids to maintain its healthy density. Digital Eye Support soft chews have been formulated with a patented, clinically studied marigold extract that provides two of these carotenoids, lutein and zeaxanthin isomers, at the same 5:1 ratio found in nature.

“Since many of us use our digital devices as much as 11 hours a day, it is a good idea to encourage our eyes’ natural blue light filter,” said Dr. Michael A. Smith, MD, Life Extension’s director of education. “This formula does exactly that.”

Fight back against screen glare

Digital Eye Support’s benefits go beyond blue light filtering: they also support visual health and acuity by helping to maintain delicate eye tissues when exposed to oxidative stress.2,3 In addition, in a 12-month, placebo-controlled study, the extract used in this formula improved the tolerable intensity where a subject’s eyesight was affected by glare.4 It also improved scores of photostress recovery, the time it takes for the eyes to adjust after being exposed to a bright light.4

“This whiteout period where we cannot see clearly is completely normal, but it can vary. Supplementing with these carotenoids supported recovery time in the clinical study,” said Dr. Asha Jaja-Chimedza, PhD, Discovery Research Manager at Life Extension.

Look ahead to vision health
The future is bright; give your eyes the nutrients shown to help filter out blue light and promote better glare and bright-light responses with Digital Eye Support.
