Our Company ZeaVision®, the parent company of EyePromise®, was co-founded in Chesterfield, Missouri in 2001 by Dennis Gierhart, PhD. With more than 20 years of research, Dr. Gierhart pioneered the use of Zeaxanthin for eye health use, and ZeaVision is considered one of the leading companies in ocular nutrition.
Our Quality Product quality is ZeaVision’s highest priority, which is why EyePromise nutracueticals are pharmaceutical-grade, contain the highest-quality ingredients, and are manufactured to the exacting standards of the FDA current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) requirements. These regulations define standards and require compliance regarding ingredient identity, strength, purity, and composition.

Our DistinctionZeaxanthin – the Heart of ZeaVisionStudies show that Zeaxanthin (zee-uh-zan-thin) increases low macular pigment levels – a leading risk factor for Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD). However, Zeaxanthin is particularly scarce in the average daily U.S. diet leaving a significant dietary gap for most people, as referenced in the diagram to the right. Our patented formulas contain the highest levels of Zeaxanthin available, helping bridge that dietary gap and supporting ocular health.
All EyePromise nutraceuticals feature only the finest ingredients including ZeaGold®*, a natural, highly bio-available Zeaxanthin derived from an exclusive whole food source grown in West Texas – paprika.
Sourced from marigold flowers and purified from marigold flower oleoresin, FloraGLO®** Lutein is the world’s leading patented, purified lutein.

The Scarcity of Zeaxanthin in the DietThe macular pigments, Zeaxanthin and Lutein, are found at a 2:1 ratio in the fovea. The body does not produce Zeaxanthin or Lutein, so nutritional intake and supplementation are key in maintaining healthy Macular Pigment Optical Density (MPOD).

What is MPOD?MPOD (Macular Pigment Optical Density) is important to patients for three (3) specific reasons:
1. Low macular pigment is a key risk factor for AMD, the leading cause of significant vision loss over age 55.
2. Macular pigment absorbs harmful blue light, protecting the photo-receptiors from damage
3. Macular pigment improves visual performance, including: – visual acuity – contrast sensitivity – light sensitivity – glare recovery
Internal SunglassesMacular pigment is comprised of Zeaxanthin and Lutein, which are found in the center of the macula (fovea) at a natural 2:1 ratio. Healthy macular pigment acts as “internal sunglasses” to protect against harmful blue light that enters the eye and negatively impact the visual cells responsible for central and peripheral vision. Did you know that blue light comes from everyday sources such as:

Macular Health FormulasEyePromise macular health formulas are designed to increase macular pigment, providing vision protection and enhanement. Low macular pigment is a leading risk factor for Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD), which is the leading cause of severe vision loss in adults over the age of 55, affecting millions of Americans each year. The leading risk factors for AMD and visual performance challenges include:
AMD Risk Factors
Non-modifiable:
• Age
• Family history
• Light skin and eyes
• Female gender

Visual Performance Challenges
• Night driving difficulty
• Discomfort due to glare (day or night)
• Sensitivity to bright light
• Difficulty seeing objects against their background (contrast sensitivity)
Healthy Vision Vision Affected by AMD
Modifiable:
• Smoking
• Poor diet
• Low macular pigment
• High body mass index
866-833-2800 [email protected]
Did You Know…Seventy-eight percent (78%) of the U.S. population has less than optimal macular pigment, but significant increases can be achieved through nutritional intake and supplements containing Zeaxanthin and Lutein.

AMD, Macular Pigment, and Visual Performance (Zeaxanthin & Lutein)
AREDS 2 Study Chew, MD. et. al.
The AREDS 1 formula plus Lutein & Zeaxanthin vs. AREDS 1 & beta-carotene:• 18% reduction in the progression to advanced AMD• 22% reduction in the risk of progression to neovascular AMD
AREDS formula along with Lutein + Zeaxanthin vs. AREDS formula with no Lutein + Zeaxanthin:• 10% additional reduction in the risk of progression to advanced AMD• 11% reduction in the risk of progression to neovascular AMD• 26% reduction to advanced AMD in the lowest quintile – the group with the
lowest dietary intake of Lutein and Zeaxanthin, which is more representative of the general population
Gale Study: Zeaxanthin & Lutein and the Risk of AMD(Ophthalmology and Visual Science: 2003)
• Low levels of Zeaxanthin in plasma = significantly higher risk of AMD
• Did not show similar effect for Lutein
• Possible that studies that combine Zeaxanthin and Lutein may have obscured protective effect of Zeaxanthin
POLA Study: Zeaxanthin & Lutein (Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science: 2006)
• Large European trial (899 patients)
• Patients with high plasma levels of Zeaxanthin had a 93% reduction in AMD and 77% reduction in nuclear cataracts
• Patients with high plasma levels of Lutein had a 79% reduction in AMD
Blue Mountain Study (American Academy of Ophthalmology: 2008)
• Higher dietary intake of Zeaxanthin and Lutein reduced risk of AMD (in 3654 patients) by 65%
• Confirmed protective influence of zinc
• Higher beta-carotene associated with increased risk of AMD
AREDS Report 22 (Archives of Ophthalmology: 2007)
• Participants reporting highest intake of Zeaxanthin and Lutein at baseline less likely to have advanced AMD (NV & GA) or intermediate drusen
www.eyepromise.com
Our Scientific Support To date, more than 300 published studies exist on nutrition, macular pigment, and the impact on eye health.
25
Bone & Landrum (Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science 2001)
• 12 cadaver donors, 224 eyes
• Donor eyes in the highest quartile of Lutein and Zeaxanthin per unit area had an 82% lower prevalence of AMD compared with those in the lowest quartile
Improvement of Retinal Function in Early Age-Related Macular Degeneration After Lutein and Zeaxanthin Supplementation: A Randomized, Double-Masked, Placebo-Controlled Trial(Ma et. al. - American Journal of Ophthalmology, October 2012 Peking University Eye Center, Beijing, China)
• 108 subjects with early AMD supplemented with 10 mgs Lutein, 10 mgs Lutein & 10 mgs Zeaxanthin, 20 mgs Lutein, or placebo plus 36 age matched controls. (144 subjects)
• Pre and post supplementation multi-focal ERG was measured in 6 concentric annular zones around the macula
• Increased MPOD related positively to increases in N1P1 response density in ring 1 and ring 2 with little effect in ring 3 thru 6
• Improvement of N1P1 response densities was positively associated with MPOD increase, suggesting a causative effect of MPOD on retinal function and health
• Early functional abnormalities of the central retina in the early AMD patients may be improved by Lutein and Zeaxanthin supplementation
• The 10 mgs Lutein/10 mgs dietary Zeaxanthin arm had the greatest ERG documented retinal function increase in ring 1.
Zeaxanthin & Visual Performance Benefits:Zeaxanthin and Visual Function (ZVF) Trial(Richer, Stuart, et. al. - Journal of Optometry November 2011)
• 60 elderly subjects with early to moderate AMD
• Consumed 8 mgs of dietary Zeaxanthin per day for 12 months
• Improved high contrast near visual acuity by 8.5 letters or 1.5 lines on an eye chart
• Achieved clearing of central scotomas
• Improved foveal shape discrimination
• Improved night driving skills
Macular Re-pigmentation Enhances Driving in Elderly Adults(Richer, Stuart, et. al. - Clinical & Experimental Ophthalmology April 2012)
• 60 elderly subjects with early to moderate AMD
• Consumed 8 mgs of dietary zeaxanthin per day for 12 months
• Self-described improvement of driving skills were strongly associated with macular re-pigmentation
• The greatest effect was seen with zeaxanthin
• Older male drivers with AMD are encouraged to have their foveal macular pigment measured annually

“ The Eye-Q Intelligent AMD Risk Management Program® from ZeaVision is a key part of our Center for Macular Health at Gailmard Eye Center. It allows us to take a preventative approach to macular degeneration, which our patients greatly appreciate. We test MPOD as a major AMD risk factor and our doctors actively prescribe the EyePromise line of nutritional supplements. The entire program is quite successful for us.”
Neil Gailmard, OD, MBA, FAAO – President, Prima Eye Group (Munster, Indiana)
“ Zeavision has been a great partner in helping our practice become proactive with our patients eye health as it relates to the risks associated with Macular Degeneration. Our patients are educated, engaged and motivated participants in this process. Macular pigment testing has become an integral procedure in our office.” Dr. Michael Bernier – Chippewa Eye Centre, Inc. (Saint Louis, Missouri)
“ ZeaVision products have been a great fit for our practice and patients. We were not being as preventative as we should have been when it came to Macular Degeneration. ZeaVision staff members helped us implement their program and provided us with the information and knowledge needed to get started. We have now been in full swing for over a year with MPOD testing and EyePromise supplements. We appreciate the ongoing support we receive and I’m pleased to report that ZeaVision really stands behind their product and customers.”
