Abstract

This study aims to explore the effect of lutein on visual function of ametropic children. This paper reviews the definition and types of refractive error and its impact on children's visual development, and reveals the common visual problems of children with refractive error. Then, the chemical structure, ocular distribution and the role of lutein in the protection of retina and vision were introduced in detail, and the potential mechanism of lutein on the improvement of visual function was elaborated. The study also evaluated the effect of lutein on the visual function of ametropic children through the discussion of the actual effect. Finally, the application and recommendation strategies such as increasing lutein intake through diet and supplements, guidance of parents and medical professionals, comprehensive preventive measures and long-term tracking were proposed, in order to provide a scientific basis for visual health care of ametropic children.
