And lutein actually sort of spans throughout the entire retina, but it's optically undetectable outside of 8 degrees retinal eccentricity.

So when you're talking about macular pigment very specifically, you're talking about the part of it that has volume, which is honestly predominantly the zeaxanthins.

So again, circling back this, when you see in research, like a lot of Paul Bernstein's research, specifically out of the Moran Eye Institute at the University of Utah, he refers to the zeaxanthins, he refers to them as zeaxanthin, but he's talking about both of them.

So that is a common thing.

it's a common practice in research as far as the way they publish their papers.

But there are obviously a whole category of research papers too that hyper-focus on the very specific zeaxanthin isomers that they are talking about all throughout the publication.

So I think that a lot of the confusion stems from that as well.

So essentially, like what I'm trying to say is, is that there are some authors who reference the zeaxanthins as zeaxanthin.

And there are some who parse them out, like Professor John Nolan and the researchers that work under him at Southeastern Technological University.

They will they will specify.

And I think that's important.

I wish they would all, you know, and and and I wish I could remember the exact referencing paper that I'm thinking of right now.

But I know that it is classified.

But throughout the paper.

it is then referred to henceforth as zeaxanthin.

So again, I feel like there's some confusion because a lot of times what's read only is like the conclusion of research or the abstract of the research versus reading the entire publication.

It's very rare that I've come across optometrists who have the time or the bandwidth to go ahead and read all.

No, it's okay.

I mean, certainly the presence of all three of the carotenoids in the phobia...

dictates its importance is what I would say you know when we're talking about what how how a publication characterizes what it's seeing it's to me like understanding that is important but the more important thing to understand is that
