  The formation of vision is mainly formed by the macular area of ​​the retina. In the macular area, there is a high concentration of lutein. Lutein can increase the baby's central vision and enhance the baby's visual resolution.

  What is lutein?

  First, lutein, also known as carotenoid, is an antioxidant itself. It has the functions of maintaining visual function, absorbing and filtering blue light, and protecting the eyes from light damage. Blue light is one of the main rays entering the inner eye to reach the macular area, and it is also the most harmful light to the macula. High concentration of lutein can protect the eye by filtering blue light to alleviate the damage caused by blue light. Experts say that lutein is a component of breast milk, and the body itself cannot synthesize itself and must be obtained through diet. The study found that on average, each microliter of breast milk contained 25 micrograms of lutein. Therefore, when breastfeeding or breast milk is not enough, it is recommended to choose a formula that adds lutein to ensure that your baby gets enough lutein.
