In our testing, the majority of participants had noticed some relief of eye strain symptoms after five days, with greater relief by the end of the second week. For persons who have been stressing their eyes with high amounts of screen time for years, it can take quite a while for the eyes to replenish resources.
Because of this, eye health studies tend to be very long in duration, lasting anywhere from eight weeks to twelve months. For example, the Lutemax® 2020 B.L.U.E. study was six months long. It was conducted in healthy, young adults who had at least six hours daily of screen time at close distances (≤ 3 feet).
At the end of the six months, Lutemax® 2020 had supported visual performance, processing speed, photostress recovery, contrast sensitivity, eye strain, and fatigue, and sleep quality. So, while most people begin to notice some relief quickly, many of the eye health benefits (some of which are not subjectively felt) build over many months of supplementation.
Yes! In fact, we consider it to be a great complement to products like Qualia Mind, Qualia Nootropic Energy Shot, Qualia Life, and Qualia Night.
