There is limited research on dietary supplements for treating myopia. There are some trials that have studied lutein,[1] 7-methylxanthine (a caffeine metabolite),[2] crocetin (a compound found in saffron),[3] and anthocyanoside oligomers[4] for treating myopia, but these supplements haven’t been thoroughly enough investigated to make any recommendations.
