TLDR
In this article, a longitudinal, placebo-controlled and randomized supplementation trial was designed to assess whether macular pigment optical density (MPOD) is associated with visual performance, and the results showed that MPOD was positively associated with central visual function, including BCVA and contrast sensitivity.About:

Lutein, Zeaxanthin, and meso-Zeaxanthin: The Basic and Clinical Science Underlying Carotenoid-based Nutritional Interventions against Ocular Disease

TL;DR: The chemistry, biochemistry, biophysics, and physiology of these yellow pigments that are specifically concentrated in the macula lutea are examined through the means of high-affinity binding proteins and specialized transport and metabolic proteins where they play important roles as short-wavelength light-absorbers and localized, efficient antioxidants in a region at high risk for light-induced oxidative stress.

The impact of macular pigment augmentation on visual performance using different carotenoid formulations
James Loughman,James Loughman,John M. Nolan,Alan Howard,Eithne Connolly,Katie Meagher,Stephen Beatty +6 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that supplementation with all three macular carotenoids potentially offered advantages over preparations lacking MZ, both in terms of MPOD response and visual performance enhancement.

Macular pigment and visual performance in glare: benefits for photostress recovery, disability glare, and visual discomfort.
TL;DR: MP correlates with three aspects of visual performance in glare, including photostress recovery, disability glare, and visual discomfort, which can be extended more confidently to real-world, practical visual performance benefits.

The impact of macular pigment augmentation on visual performance in normal subjects: COMPASS.
John M. Nolan,James Loughman,Mukunda C. Akkali,Jim Stack,Grainne Scanlon,Peter A. Davison,Stephen Beatty +6 more
TL;DR: This study investigates whether augmentation of macular pigment enhances visual performance (VP) and reports statistically significant differences in mesopic CS at 20.7 cpd under high glare conditions, and light/dark adaptation comparative analysis between the lower and the upper MP tertile groups.

Review of Factors Influencing Discomfort Glare Perception from Daylight
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an approach to quantify discomfort in buildings. But the authors focus on the case of discomfort in a building and do not address the problem of well-being.

Application of fourier analysis to the visibility of gratings
F. W. Campbell,John G. Robson +1 more
TL;DR: The contrast thresholds of a variety of grating patterns have been measured over a wide range of spatial frequencies and the results show clear patterns of uniformity in the response to grating noise.

Discharge patterns and functional organization of mammalian retina
TL;DR: The Limulus preparation shows many features which are similar to other simple sense organs, for instance, stretch receptors, however, instead of photochemical events, stretch-deformation acts as the adequate stimulus on sensory terminals and is translated into a characteristic discharge pattern.

TL;DR: The prevalence of visual disabilities will increase markedly during the next 20 years, owing largely to the aging of the US population.

The Role of Oxidative Stress in the Pathogenesis of Age-Related Macular Degeneration
TL;DR: The concept that AMD can be attributed to cumulative oxidative stress is enticing, but remains unproven, and the effect of nutritional antioxidant supplements on the onset and natural course of age-related macular disease is currently being evaluated.
Journal Article
Oxidative damage and age-related macular degeneration.
TL;DR: While all these models provide undisputed evidence of oxidative damage to the retinal pigment epithelium and the choriocapillaris, it is still unclear at this time what the precise linkage is between oxidation-induced events and the onset and progression of AMD.
