Modere Eye Health: protect your vision in the screen age — lutein, zeaxanthin and bilberry
⚡ 60-Second Verdict
Modere Eye Health NZ delivers lutein, zeaxanthin and bilberry at $95.60 NZD (member price). The average Kiwi now spends 6-12 hours daily on screens. Lutein and zeaxanthin are the only carotenoids that accumulate in the macula — filtering blue light and protecting against age-related macular degeneration. 100% money-back.
Lutein and zeaxanthin — the macular carotenoids
Only lutein and zeaxanthin accumulate in the human macula (central retina). They form the macular pigment that filters damaging blue light and UV — protecting the photoreceptors most critical for sharp central vision.
Blue light protection is now essential
Before the digital age, blue light exposure was primarily from the sun for a few hours daily. Modern Kiwis now face 6-12 hours of concentrated blue light from screens — far exceeding our evolutionary exposure.
Bilberry for microcirculation
Bilberry anthocyanins have been used for eye health since World War II (RAF pilots were given bilberry jam before night missions). They support retinal microcirculation and rhodopsin regeneration for visual acuity and night vision.
Why screen time has made eye health supplementation relevant for every adult Kiwi
New Zealand adults now average 9-11 hours of screen time daily — combining smartphones, computers, televisions and tablets. Blue light (400-500nm wavelength) from LED screens penetrates to the retina and accumulates oxidative damage in the macula over time. The Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) found that lutein and zeaxanthin supplementation reduced the risk of progression to advanced AMD by 26%.
Beyond screen time, New Zealand’s high UV index (thinning ozone layer) means Kiwi eyes are exposed to significant UV radiation outdoors — the other major source of macular oxidative damage. Lutein and zeaxanthin provide internal optical filtering that sunglasses cannot replicate at the cellular level.
Ingredients in Modere Eye Health NZ | Lutein Zeaxanthin Blue Light 120 Caps
Shaklee quality — 350+ point testing standard.
| Ingredient | Role | What it brings |
|---|---|---|
| Lutein From marigold — Tagetes erecta | Macular pigment, blue light filter | The dominant carotenoid in the macula — absorbs blue light and quenches singlet oxygen free radicals in the retina. Most studied carotenoid for AMD prevention. |
| Zeaxanthin Macular centre | Central macular pigment | Concentrated specifically in the fovea (centre of the macula) — provides the sharpest central vision protection. Works synergistically with lutein. |
| Bilberry extract Vaccinium myrtillus — standardised anthocyanins | Retinal microcirculation, rhodopsin | Anthocyanins support retinal blood vessel integrity and rhodopsin regeneration — supporting visual acuity, contrast sensitivity and night vision adaptation |
| Zinc | Retinal enzyme cofactor | Essential cofactor for retinal enzymes including alcohol dehydrogenase — required for vitamin A metabolism in the retina |
| Vitamin A (beta-carotene) | Rhodopsin synthesis | Precursor to 11-cis-retinal — the light-sensitive molecule in rhodopsin that enables dim-light and night vision |
| Vitamin C & E | Retinal antioxidants | Synergistic antioxidants protecting the highly metabolically active retinal tissue from oxidative damage during continuous light exposure |
How Modere Eye Health NZ | Lutein Zeaxanthin Blue Light 120 Caps works
Lutein and zeaxanthin accumulate in the macula
These carotenoids are selectively transported and deposited in the macular region — the only nutrients known to concentrate in the central retina. Supplementation increases macular pigment optical density (MPOD).
Macular pigment filters blue light
Increased MPOD provides measurably greater blue light filtration — protecting the photoreceptors and retinal pigment epithelium from light-induced oxidative damage.
Bilberry anthocyanins support microcirculation
Anthocyanins strengthen retinal capillary walls and support blood flow to the highly oxygen-demanding retinal tissue — preventing the microvascular changes associated with diabetic retinopathy and AMD.
Zinc and vitamins support retinal metabolism
The retina is one of the most metabolically active tissues in the body. Zinc, vitamin C and E provide the enzyme cofactors and antioxidant protection required for sustained retinal function.

What to expect
Realistic guide.
Month 1-2
Macular pigment optical density begins increasing as lutein and zeaxanthin accumulate in retinal tissue.
Month 3-4
Improved contrast sensitivity and reduced glare sensitivity as MPOD increases. Night vision may improve with bilberry.
Month 6+
Sustained macular protection. AREDS research shows maximum benefit at 6+ months of consistent supplementation.
Is Modere Eye Health NZ | Lutein Zeaxanthin Blue Light 120 Caps right for you?
✓ Yes if you…
- Everyone who spends 4+ hours daily on screens
- Those over 40 (AMD risk increases significantly)
- Anyone in NZ’s high UV environment spending time outdoors
- Those with a family history of macular degeneration
- Night drivers needing improved visual acuity in low light
✕ Skip if you…
- Those on specific medications — vitamin A excess can interact with some drugs; consult GP
- Smokers — beta-carotene supplementation has different risk profile for smokers; consult GP
Pro tips
Take with your largest meal
Lutein and zeaxanthin are fat-soluble carotenoids — absorption is significantly enhanced with dietary fat.
Wear sunglasses outdoors regardless
Eye Health supplements provide internal cellular protection. External UV protection (sunglasses) and internal nutritional support are complementary, not alternatives.
Apply the 20-20-20 rule
Every 20 minutes of screen time, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds — supplements support cellular health while screen habits reduce moment-to-moment strain.

FAQ — Modere Eye Health NZ | Lutein Zeaxanthin Blue Light 120 Caps NZ
What is the difference between lutein and zeaxanthin?
Both accumulate in the macula — lutein distributes throughout the macular region while zeaxanthin concentrates specifically in the fovea (central point of sharpest vision). Together they form the complete macular pigment.
Does it protect against macular degeneration?
The AREDS2 clinical trial showed lutein and zeaxanthin supplementation reduced progression to advanced AMD by 26%. Consult your ophthalmologist for personalised risk assessment.
Will it help with screen fatigue?
Increased macular pigment density has been associated with reduced glare sensitivity and improved contrast — which may reduce digital eye fatigue symptoms.
When should I start taking it?
The earlier the better — lutein and zeaxanthin accumulate slowly in the macula over months. Starting before significant damage occurs provides the greatest long-term protection.
Is bilberry the same as blueberry?
Related species with overlapping anthocyanin content, but bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) is specifically studied for eye health, with higher anthocyanin concentration and better-documented ocular effects than blueberry.
Is it non-GMO?
Yes.
Where does it ship from?
Auckland NZ warehouse via NZ Post.
What is the guarantee?
100% money-back — even on an empty bottle.
How do I get the member price?
Free Lifetime Membership with first order of $50+.
Is free shipping available?
Free NZ-wide on orders over $210.
How many capsules per bottle?
120 capsules as directed.
Can I take it with the Shaklee Antioxidant?
Yes — Antioxidant (34062) provides systemic antioxidant protection; Eye Health provides targeted ocular antioxidant support. Complementary combination.
