Description
Marta Garcia-Romera and co-authors link screen time and diet to the eye's protective pigment in a 2024 study. The macular pigment shields the retina, and its density can be measured with a flicker test. Eighty two women, younger and older groups, reported their device hours and Mediterranean diet habits.
Younger women logged about nine hours of screen light daily against six for the older group, and their pigment ran lower. At matched exposure above six hours, the young still trailed. Older women also ate closer to the Mediterranean pattern and carried the densest pigment. The authors read the pattern plainly: less screen light and a better diet track with stronger retinal protection.
