The Claim
There is a belief that zeaxanthin supplementation can significantly enhance one's ability to see in low-light conditions, improving night vision.
Origin
This misconception may arise from general claims about carotenoids improving vision health, including enhancements in visual performance.
What Science Says
Current scientific evidence does not support the claim that zeaxanthin improves night vision. Studies primarily focus on its role in reducing glare and improving contrast sensitivity, which are not directly related to night vision. No robust clinical trials have demonstrated significant improvements in night vision attributable to zeaxanthin supplementation.
Verdict
False
