近視是一種常見的眼部疾病,會導致視力模糊和眼睛疲勞,尤其是在大量使用3C電子產品的人群中。本研究,吾等評估了一種名為“小悅光飲”(Baby Drink,BD)的葉黃素複方飲料對視力和眼睛健康的影響。BD的成分包括藍莓發酵液、西印度櫻桃粉、金盞花萃取物、維生素E、維生素C、富含維生素K2的鷹嘴豆萃取物、富含維生素D的啤酒酵母(Saccharomyces cerevisiae)、乳酸鈣、蔗糖、檸檬酸和結蘭膠(carrageenan)食品添加劑。視力改善測試的對象為20名20-39歲、近視度數在300至700度之間的族群。測試當天,給每位受試者口服20毫升(mL)BD,然後測量受試者的視力、屈光力、軸向長度和角膜曲率。此外,還進行了為期一個月、每天飲用20毫升BD的長期測試。結果顯示,服用BD1小時後,受試者的單眼視力有所改善;服用2小時後,雙眼視力有所改善。研究發現,連續一個月每天服用BD可改善視力,但對屈光力、軸向長度和角膜弧度沒有顯著影響。另外,每天服用一個月的BD對眼表疾病(ocular surface disease,OSD)和電腦視覺綜合症(computer vision syndrome,CVS)的影響進行了問卷調查。根據報告的嚴重程度評分(1-5分,5分最嚴重),每天服用BD,經過一個月,對眼疲勞和眼活動的影響並無顯著差異。然而,對OSD和CVS的嚴重程度評分則有所下降,指出BD對眼疲勞具有保護作用。
Myopia is a common eye disease with blurred vision and eye fatigue, especially among heavy users of 3C electronic products. In this study, we evaluated the effect of a lutein compound health drink called "Baby Drink" (BD) on eyesight and eye health. Ingredients of BD include blueberry fermentation liquid, West Indian cherry powder, marigold extract, vitamin E, vitamin C, vitamin K2-rich chickpea extract, vitamin D-rich beer yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), calcium lactate, sucrose, citric acid, and carrageenan food additives. The visual improvement test was performed on 20 individuals of 20-39 years with myopia ranging from 300 to 700 degrees. On the day of testing, each participant was given 20 mL of BD, and their visual acuity, refractive power, axial length, and corneal curvature were measured. A long-term test with daily consumption of 20 mL of BD for one month was also performed. Results showed that an improvement in monocular vision was observed 1 hour after consumption of BD. At 2 hours aft er consumption, an improvement in binocular vision was noticed. Daily consumption of BD for one month was found to improve visual acuity but had no significant effect on refractive power, axial length, and corneal curvature. A questionnaire survey of the effect of one-month daily consumption of BD on ocular surface disease (OSD) and computer vision syndrome (CVS) was also performed. Based on reported severity scores (1-5 with 5 being most severe),there was no significant difference in the effect of one-month daily consumption of BD on eye fatigue and eye activity. However, both OSD and CVS severity scores were decreased, suggesting that BD has protective effect on eye fatigue.
