Retina Clear is a daily capsule sold online for eye and vision support. The seller's page says it is made in the USA, non-GMO and plant-based, in an FDA-registered, GMP-certified facility with third-party testing. It sells as a one-time purchase in 1, 3 or 6 bottle packs.
Retina ClearWhat is on the list
Vitamins and minerals: vitamin A (as beta-carotene), C and E, and zinc, copper, selenium and chromium.
The other 14: Lutein, Zeaxanthin, Astaxanthin, Lycopene, Bilberry Fruit Extract, Grape Seed Extract, Saffron Stigmas Extract, Ginkgo Biloba Leaf, Coleus Forskohlii, Eyebright (aerial part), Taurine, Alpha-Lipoic Acid, Rutin, Quercetin.
Claims versus evidence
- "Supports clear vision": some ingredients have modest human data, this exact product has none we could find.
- "Reduces eye strain": small studies on astaxanthin and bilberry, with mixed results.
- "Protects against decline": the strongest support is AREDS-style formulas in people who already have intermediate macular degeneration.
Two things to check before you buy
First, whether you smoke or used to, because of the beta-carotene form of vitamin A. Second, whether you take blood thinners, diabetes medicine or blood-pressure medicine, because of ginkgo, alpha-lipoic acid and Coleus forskohlii.
