Summary
Brief summary
This study aims to investigate in healthy adults 18-65 years of age the association of electronic device blue light exposure and macular pigment optical density (MPOD) considering usual dietary intake of lutein and zeaxanthin (L/Z) as confirmed by serum lutein and zeaxanthin concentrations.

It is hypothesised in healthy adults 18-65 years of age:

1. Higher usual daily electronic device blue light exposure will be negatively correlated with MPOD value.
2. Usual dietary intake of L/Z will be positively correlated with MPOD value.
3. L/Z concentration will be positively correlated with MPOD value.
4. Usual dietary intake of L/Z will be positively correlated with plasma L/Z concentrations.
5. Higher usual intake of L/Z will mitigate the effect of higher electronic device exposure on MPOD value.
