Rationale: In our pilot study (MEC 07-1-127) we saw an increase in both plasma as macular levels of lutein and zeaxanthin. Current believe is that this increase might help against the further deterioration of the retina seen in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) by scavenging for free radicals and filtering out harmful blue light rays[1, 2]. For the purpose of establishing whether these believes hold some truth, we want now to investigate the effect of lutein and zeaxanthin increase in subject with early signs of AMD on visual acuity, visual field and contrast sensibility. To relate these results to our previous study we will also measure the changes in plasma and macular concentrations of these xanthophylls. Once more we will be using the egg-beverage from the pilot study. These have been proven safe and showed no changes in lipid levels after 3 months of consumption.
