1, Filter: A blue-light filter inside your eye
Eye strain builds over a screen day. Lutein and zeaxanthin build your retina's blue-light filter, and have been studied in screen users for eye strain.†
Antioxidants for screen‑tired eyes
Screens strain your focussing muscle and dry out your eyes, and the cells you can't feel work under oxidative stress all day. Visor™ boosts your eyes' antioxidant defence, every day.
Antioxidant protection
for eyes that work all day
2, Repair: Antioxidant defence for dry eyes
Eye drops are not enough: dry eye is fuelled by oxidative stress at the surface. Vitamins C and E defend its cells.
3, Protect: Antioxidant protection for your retina
Damage to photoreceptor cells accumulates over years. Vitamin E stops the chain of oxidation in their membranes, and C keeps E working.
4, Restore: Vitamin A for vision in low light
Night vision is one of the first things to fade when vitamin A runs short. Visor™ supplies it as beta-carotene, made into vitamin A as you need it.
For your skin: A healthier complexion, too
The carotenoids you take build up in your skin, where a trial found a healthier tone. Vitamin C helps your skin make collagen.†

The more hours you spend on screen, the harder your eyes work
That work shows up as four problems: two at the front of your eye, where you feel them, and two at the back, where you don't.
- 62.6% of UK and Irish screen workers surveyed had digital eye strain
- 9.7h on screens a day, on average, for the same workers
What a screen day asks of one cell
You can't feel the cells you see with, and once lost they aren't replaced. Follow one from 09:00 to 18:00.
-
This is a photoreceptor
The cell that turns light into sight. The cones at the centre of your retina read every word on your screen.
-
It burns energy all day
Its power plants run all day and leak a little reactive oxygen as they work. Your eye mops it up. It's work, not damage, yet.
-
It rebuilds its tip every day
Every day, photoreceptors shed the oldest tenth of their light-catching tips and build new ones. That takes fat, protein, vitamin A and a lot of energy.
-
By evening, your eyes have more to clear
Hours on a screen raise reactive oxygen. Researchers measured it at the surface of the eye, on a smartphone:
Healthy young adults · Choi et al., PLoS One, 2018
Over a lifetime
30%
Photoreceptors aren't replaced. By about 70, around 30% of the rods in your central retina are gone.
“The retina ages faster than any other organ in your body.”
- Age 20: A full set of rods
- Age 40: Rod and cone function starts to decline
- Age 60: Losses add up
- Age 70: About 30% of central rods lost
The evidence
A photoreceptor turns light into a nerve signal. Cones read detail and colour; rods work in dim light. In the dark a rod uses about 10⁸ ATP a second, and a cone nearly twice that, and cones keep spending in bright light (Okawa 2008; Ingram 2020).
The retina has one of the highest oxygen consumption rates of any tissue in the body, exceeding the brain (Uddin 2025). Mitochondria leak a small share of their electrons as reactive oxygen, a normal by-product that the eye's defences clear; the retina is one of the body's hotspots of reactive species (Sinha 2020).
Every day the cell layer behind the retina (the retinal pigment epithelium) clears about 10% of the photoreceptors' outer segments, and new discs are added at the base (Bazan 2007; Kevany and Palczewski 2010; Young 1967). The 10% is a rod figure from animal studies. The new discs are built from fats rich in the omega-3 DHA, fresh light-catching protein, and vitamin A, the light-catching part of each rhodopsin molecule; making and clearing this much membrane takes a lot of energy.
The chart is the surface of the eye, not the retina: in a study of 80 healthy young adults, reactive oxygen in the 50 using a smartphone rose 13% after 1 hour and 31% after 4 hours; eyes felt drier and more tired (Choi 2018). No study has yet measured the retina itself across a screen day.
About 30% of the rods in the central retina are lost by about 70 (Curcio 1993). The retina has more mitochondria than any other tissue and ages rapidly (Kam 2023). Photoreceptors are retinal neurons, and the body does not replace neurons lost to degeneration (Sanges 2016).

1. Digital eye strain
A screen day works your eyes twice: your focussing muscle holds arm's-length focus for hours, while your retina takes in bright, blue-heavy light all day.
Retina and focussing muscleVisor™ answers with: Filter
Lutein
Zeaxanthin
Bilberry
Lutein and zeaxanthin filter blue light before it reaches the cells you see with. Bilberry is studied for the focussing muscle.
How it works
- Lutein and zeaxanthin build your macular pigment, a yellow filter at the centre of your retina that absorbs blue light before it reaches your photoreceptors.
- People with denser pigment recover faster from glare and a bright flash, and supplements that raised the pigment improved that recovery.†
- In a 12-week placebo-controlled trial of screen workers, bilberry extract eased a measure of focussing-muscle strain after screen work.†
The evidence
In adults on screens at least six hours a day, 24 mg a day of lutein, zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin for six months cut eye strain against placebo, and eyes recovered faster from a bright flash.†
2. Dry eye
You blink less on screens. The tear film breaks up, reactive oxygen builds at the exposed surface, and inflammation keeps the cycle going.
Front: tear filmVisor™ answers with: Repair
Vitamin A
Vitamin B2
Vitamin C
Vitamin E
Vitamins C and E defend the surface that screens dry out. Vitamins A and B2 help it renew.
How it works
- Your tear film has three layers: oily on top to slow evaporation, watery in the middle, and mucus that holds it to your eye.
- On screens it breaks up sooner. The exposed surface fills with reactive oxygen, which damages the oily layer's fats and inflames the cells beneath: a cycle that feeds itself.
- Vitamins C and E protect those cells from oxidative stress, and vitamins A and B2 help maintain the membrane that covers your eye.
The evidence
Lutein and zeaxanthin, also in Visor™, help here too: in adults on screens more than six hours a day, 10 mg lutein and 2 mg zeaxanthin a day for six months improved tear production and tear-film stability against placebo.†
3. Photoreceptor damage
Your photoreceptors aren't replaced, yet they're packed with the fat that oxidises most easily. One damaged molecule attacks the next: a chain reaction.
Back: photoreceptorsVisor™ answers with: Protect
- Vitamin E
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin B2
- Zeaxanthin
Cells you can't replace need more than one antioxidant. E stops the damage spreading, and C restores E.
How it works
- Oxidised fat in the membrane attacks its neighbour, which attacks the next, forming a chain. Vitamin E sits in the membrane and stops it.
- Each stop turns vitamin E into a radical itself. In lab tests, spent vitamin E left on its own can keep the oxidation going.
- Vitamin C regenerates vitamin E, switching it back on for the next chain. That is why Visor™ pairs them.
4. Fading night vision
In dim light, every photon a rod catches reshapes a vitamin A molecule that must be rebuilt. Run short, and night vision is one of the first things to go.
Back: rodsVisor™ answers with: Restore
- Vitamin A
- Vitamin B2
Vitamin A rebuilds the pigment you see with in dim light
How it works
- Vitamin A is the light-catching part of the pigment in your rods and cones.
- Your body makes it from beta-carotene as it needs it, so it doesn't build up to excess.
- Vitamin A and B2 contribute to the maintenance of normal vision.
The evidence
Lutein has low-light evidence too: in a year-long trial of drivers, 20 mg a day improved contrast and glare sensitivity, especially in low light.†
Every ingredient has a target in your eyes, and research behind it
-
Lutein and zeaxanthin
12 mg + 1 mg · From marigold flower extract
Your eye's own blue-light filter
Lutein and zeaxanthin
- Builds the macular pigment that absorbs blue light at the centre of your retina.
- People with denser pigment recover faster from bright light.
- Also in photoreceptor membranes, where it quenches reactive oxygen.
- A typical diet supplies under 2 mg of the two a day.
-
Vitamin C
80 mg · 100% NRV
Problem 2: Dry eyeProblem 3: Photoreceptors
The partner that keeps vitamin E working
Vitamin C
- A major antioxidant, concentrated in the fluid at the front of your eye about 20 times above your blood.
- Regenerates vitamin E, so it can protect again.
- In lab studies of photoreceptor membranes, vitamin C, not glutathione, restores vitamin E.†
-
Bilberry extract
90:1 · Standardised to 25% anthocyanins
Studied for focussing strain
Bilberry extract
- Concentrated extract, rich in the anthocyanins that make bilberries deep purple.
- Studied in adults on screens for the tension it leaves in the focussing muscle.
- In a 12-week placebo-controlled trial, a standardised extract improved a measure of that tension.†
-
Vitamin E
20 mg · 167% NRV
Problem 2: Dry eyeProblem 3: Photoreceptors
Defence for your eye's most fragile fats
Vitamin E
- The antioxidant built for fats, abundant in your photoreceptors.
- Stops the chain reaction of oxidation in their membranes.
- Found in your tears, where a review credits it with protecting the oily layer.
-
Beta-carotene
4.8 mg · Gives 800 µg vitamin A (100% NRV)
Problem 2: Dry eyeProblem 4: Night vision
Vitamin A for dim light and a lubricated surface
Beta-carotene
- Your body makes vitamin A from it only as it needs it, so beta-carotene doesn't cause vitamin A overload.
- Vitamin A rebuilds the light-catching pigment in your rods and cones; deficiency causes night blindness.
- Vitamin A helps keep the surface of your eye lubricated.
- Not suitable if you smoke or have been exposed to asbestos.
-
Vitamin B2 (riboflavin)
1.4 mg · 100% NRV
Problem 2: Dry eyeProblem 3: PhotoreceptorsProblem 4: Night vision
Recharges the antioxidants your retina relies on
Vitamin B2 (riboflavin)
- Your retina is one of the body's most riboflavin-rich tissues.
- Powers the enzyme that recycles glutathione, a main cell antioxidant.
- Contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and to normal vision.
In trials, these nutrients improved visual performance
Sharper contrast, a steadier tear film and better vision in dim light, each measured against placebo.†
-
Sharper contrast vision
- Nutrients tested
- Lutein, 12 mg a day: Visor™'s dose
- What happened
- In daily computer users, 12 weeks of lutein improved contrast sensitivity: the ability to pick out faint detail against its background.
- Why it matters
- Contrast is what keeps text crisp and edges defined, most of all when light is poor.
Computer users aged 22–30 · 12 weeks
-
Healthier tear film
- Nutrients tested
- Lutein 10 mg and zeaxanthin 2 mg a day
- What happened
- Against placebo, six months of lutein and zeaxanthin made the tear film more stable, raised tear production and sped recovery from a bright flash.
- Why it matters
- A stable tear film keeps your eye's surface covered between blinks, so vision stays clear and the surface stays protected.

Better vision in dim light
- Nutrients tested
- Lutein, 20 mg a day
- What happened
- Against placebo, a year of lutein improved drivers' contrast and glare sensitivity, most of all in dim light.
- Why it matters
- Dusk is when contrast drops and headlights glare. Visor™ with Clearer® gives about 22 mg of lutein a day.

The nutrients in Visor™ travel in your blood to every tissue, and your skin, which faces light every day, draws its defences from the same supply.
Vitamin C
Helps your skin make collagen
Your collagen-making cells depend on vitamin C, and it reaches them through your blood.
Vitamin E
Antioxidant defence for your skin's surface
Vitamin E reaches your skin's surface through its oil glands, where it can defend the skin's fats from oxidation.†
Lutein, zeaxanthin and beta-carotene
Improves your complexion and boosts your skin's UV defence
They settle in your skin: lutein with zeaxanthin improved skin tone in 12 weeks, and carotenoid supplements raised the UV dose needed to redden skin.†
Vitamins A and B2 also help maintain normal skin.

See the UmbraPlus™ pageQuestions before you add Visor™
Should I take Visor™ if I already take Clearer®?
If your days are screen-heavy, yes. Visor™ adds vitamin E, B2 and beta-carotene, which Clearer® doesn't contain, and together you get about 22 mg lutein a day, well within international safety assessments.
Do eye drops do the same job?
Not on their own. Lubricating drops soothe dryness for a while, but they don't address oxidative stress in your eye's surface cells. Visor™ works from within: vitamins C and E help protect those cells from oxidative stress, and A and B2 help maintain the membrane. Keep using drops if they help.
Aren't screen breaks enough?
Not on their own: breaks rest your focussing muscle, but they don't pause your photoreceptors, which never fully switch off and aren't replaced once they're lost.
When will I notice a difference?
In trials, lutein improved contrast in daily computer users within 12 weeks, and six months of lutein and zeaxanthin improved tear production and stability in people on screens all day.†
Do blue-light glasses do the same job?
No, they work at a different point: glasses filter light before it enters your eye, and Visor™ builds the pigment that filters it inside. For both, add UmbraPlus™: Dark Orange lenses block 97% of high-energy blue light (380–445 nm).
Who shouldn't take Visor™?
Visor™ contains beta-carotene. The NHS advises people who smoke, or who have been exposed to asbestos, not to take beta-carotene supplements, so Visor™ isn't suitable if either applies. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or under medical supervision, check with your doctor or pharmacist first.
Is it a subscription, and what if it isn't for me?
Only if you choose one: buy one bottle or six months as one-off orders, or subscribe for 15% off. If Visor™ isn't for you, we'll refund your order in full within 180 days.
