Retina Clear is a daily capsule that promises visual clarity, less eye strain and better blood flow to eye tissue. Below we open the label, do the maths and show you what is, and is not, spelled out.

Retina Clear is a dietary supplement capsule. Its front label reads “Supports Eye Health” and lists three aims: visual clarity, protection against eye strain, and better blood flow to the tissues of the eye.
The recipe has two layers. First, seven basic nutrients that eye formulas often start with. Second, a single 351 mg blend that carries fourteen extras, from lutein and zeaxanthin to ginkgo, saffron and bilberry.
The first layer can be checked at a glance. The second layer is where the questions are, and the next section shows why.
Seven lines have amounts. The blend has one shared total.
| Per capsule | Amount | % Daily Value |
|---|---|---|
| Vitamin A (beta carotene) | 450 mcg RAE | 50% |
| Vitamin C | 90 mg | 100% |
| Vitamin E | 15 mg | 100% |
| Zinc | 11 mg | 100% |
| Selenium | 20 mcg | 36% |
| Copper | 0.9 mg | 100% |
| Chromium | 15 mcg | 43% |
| Proprietary blend, 14 ingredients | 351 mg total | Not established |
Quick maths: 351 mg shared among 14 ingredients comes to about 25 mg each on average. Real blends are seldom split evenly, and the label does not say which ingredients get more.
The big NIH AREDS2 trial tested a set formula in people with intermediate age-related macular degeneration. Retina Clear borrows some of the same ingredient names, so here is how the amounts line up.
| Nutrient | Retina Clear (per capsule) | NIH AREDS2 study (per day) |
|---|---|---|
| Vitamin C | 90 mg | 500 mg |
| Vitamin E | 15 mg | 400 IU (about 180 mg) |
| Zinc | 11 mg | 80 mg |
| Copper | 0.9 mg | 2 mg |
| Lutein | Not disclosed | 10 mg |
| Zeaxanthin | Not disclosed | 2 mg |
AREDS2 findings apply to people who already have intermediate AMD, not to healthy eyes, and Retina Clear does not claim to be that formula. Lutein and zeaxanthin (10 mg and 2 mg in the study) have no listed amount on the Retina Clear label. Source: NIH National Eye Institute.
Tap any name for its label amount, the research picture and who should ask a professional first.
Worth knowing: seven vitamins and minerals carry exact amounts. The other fourteen ingredients split one 351 mg blend with no individual figures, and the bottle image says 60 capsules while the pack images say 30. Ask the seller for the breakdown.
Have 1 capsule with a big glass of cold water, preferably on an empty stomach, as the seller page describes. Follow your bottle's own directions if they differ.
A capsule does not replace a check-up. Keep your regular appointments and bring your supplement list with you.
Write down the start date, how your eyes feel each week, and any side effects, so you and your doctor can review it together.
One bottle on the pack images holds 30 capsules, one for each day.
The label’s first line. Vitamin A is needed for normal vision, and lutein and zeaxanthin gather in the macula at the centre of the retina.
The label mentions eye strain. Breaks, lighting and blinking do much of the work here, and the tips further down cover them.
Vitamins C and E, zinc, selenium and plant extracts give a broad antioxidant profile that eye formulas commonly aim for.
Ginkgo, grape seed and bilberry are often named for circulation. The research is mixed and mostly uses higher, disclosed doses.

After starting RetinaClear, reading felt more comfortable and I could spend longer periods with books without feeling fatigued.
RetinaClear has been positive for my routine. I previously experienced blurry vision and eye fatigue.
Eyes were more comfortable during the day, particularly after extended screen time.

It is a capsule labelled "Supports Eye Health". The pack images show 30 capsules in a bottle, but the bottle in the main image says 60. The two do not agree, so check the count printed on the bottle that reaches you.
Two parts. Seven nutrients come with exact amounts: vitamins A, C and E, zinc, selenium, copper and chromium. After them comes one 351 mg proprietary blend covering fourteen botanicals and antioxidants, among them lutein, zeaxanthin, bilberry, ginkgo and saffron.
The label gives a single total, 351 mg, for all fourteen ingredients, so you cannot see how much of any one is present. Averaged out, each gets about 25 mg. Lutein has been tested at 10 mg by itself, which would take a big slice of the blend.
The seller page says to take 1 capsule with a big glass of cold water, preferably on an empty stomach. The reference page lists the ingredients but gives no amounts. Read the directions on your own bottle too, and follow them if they differ.
We cannot promise it. The wording on the label is about supporting eye health, and that is a different claim. A supplement will not stand in for an eye exam, glasses, or care from your eye doctor.
No. AREDS2 was a big NIH study that tested a specific combination, including 500 mg of vitamin C, 400 IU of vitamin E, 80 mg of zinc and 10 mg of lutein. Retina Clear has smaller vitamin and mineral amounts, and its lutein amount is not given.
