Screen time solution? gummy vitamins may boost Kids' eyes and brain
NCT ID NCT07355725
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether Lutemax 2020 gummies, containing lutein and zeaxanthin, could improve vision and cognitive performance in children aged 5 to 12 who spend at least 4 hours daily on digital devices. Sixty children were randomly assigned to receive either the supplement or a placebo for about 6 months. Researchers measured changes in macular pigment density, visual processing speed, and contrast sensitivity to see if the supplement helped counteract the effects of heavy screen time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Lutemax 2020 (lutein and zeaxanthin) gummies
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a simple supplement to help protect children's eyesight and mental focus from too much screen time.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study with only 60 children, so results may not apply to everyone. Dietary supplements often show modest effects, and the placebo effect could play a role.
