Excerpt:
A 12-week clinical study has found that **daily astaxanthin supplementation** (4 mg) significantly reduces **digital eye strain** in children aged 10 to 14 who regularly use digital devices. Compared to placebo, children taking astaxanthin experienced a **20% decrease in chronic symptoms** and a **57% reduction in acute symptoms**. Additional improvements were observed in **depth perception, pupillary light reflex**, and **tear production**. These results suggest astaxanthin may be a promising strategy for managing **computer vision syndrome** in school-aged children, with effects noticeable as early as two weeks into use.
