Introducing the PIXEL Complex
Our eyes are exquisitely vulnerable to oxidative stress, from constant exposure to high-energy blue light, environmental pollution, aging, genetic factors, and intrinsic metabolic activities, which impact eye health and visual performance.
Xanthophyll carotenoids are plant pigments that play a critical role in photo and antioxidant protection and three of these—lutein, meso-zeaxanthin, and zeaxanthin—are found selectively in the eye, in a specialized structure called the macula. As we age, levels of these protective macular pigments decline, contributing to deterioration in eye health and visual performance.
The PIXEL Complex in Vision provides all three xanthophylls to increase macular pigment density and provide protection against blue light, oxidative stress, and support visual function.
Clinically proven to increase macular pigment density
The PIXEL Complex in Vision provides all three macular pigments, meso-zeaxanthin, zeaxanthin, and lutein, in a specific formulation (M+Z+L) that’s clinically proven to rapidly and significantly increase pigment density in the macula.
In contrast, AREDS 2, a well-established formula extensively studied by the National Eye Institute for long-term macular support, contains just two of the three macular carotenoids (Z+L). Supplementation with Z+L in AREDS 2 results in a delayed, modest increase in macular pigment density.

Clinically proven benefits for every stage of life
Developed with the guidance of Theodore Leng, M.D., leading retinal specialist, ophthalmologist, and Director of Clinical and Translational Research at the Byers Eye Institute at Stanford University School of Medicine, Vision is specifically formulated to support visual performance and eye health at every stage of life.
Macular pigments lutein, zeaxanthin, and meso-zeaxanthin in the PIXEL Complex are clinically proven to support visual performance and long-term macular health. Astaxanthin, a fourth xanthophyll carotenoid in the PIXEL Complex, provides powerful antioxidant defense and is clinically proven to support eyes during extended screen use and increase blood flow to the retina for daily eye support.
