🌿 4-Week Eye Rescue
Healthy Vision Made Simple
I used to end the day rubbing my eyes and rereading the same sentence. Two tweaks to my routine and the screen stopped feeling like a desert.

How 433 Investors Unlocked 400X Return Potential
Institutional investors back startups to unlock outsized returns. Regular investors have to wait. But not anymore. Thanks to regulatory updates, some companies are doing things differently.
Take Revolut. In 2016, 433 regular people invested an average of $2,730. Today? They got a 400X buyout offer from the company, as Revolut’s valuation increased 89,900% in the same timeframe.
Founded by a former Zillow exec, Pacaso’s co-ownership tech reshapes the $1.3T vacation home market. They’ve earned $110M+ in gross profit to date, including 41% YoY growth in 2024 alone. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.
The same institutional investors behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay backed Pacaso. And you can join them. But not for long. Pacaso’s investment opportunity ends September 18.

Screen-Smart Eye Stack
This is a simple add-on plan for screen-heavy days. It focuses on four helpers you can take with a meal and use for a month before judging.
Saffron extract
A tiny dose of standardized saffron (per label) is a gentle add-on some readers use for contrast and comfort. Start low, keep notes on reading ease and nighttime glare.
How to use the stack
Take your picks with a meal that has a little fat, like eggs, yogurt, salmon, or avocado toast. Begin with lutein + zeaxanthin. If screens still feel harsh after two weeks, add astaxanthin. If dryness nags, shift toward food-first omega-3s or try a DHA supplement trial.
Safety notes that matter
If you use anticoagulants, have eye disease under care, or manage chronic conditions, talk with your clinician before adding anything. Stick to third-party tested brands.
Nutrition Guidance, Covered by Insurance
Expert nutrition counseling is often expensive, but it doesn't have to be. Most health insurance plans cover sessions with a Registered Dietitian, often at no cost to you. Fay makes it easy to use your benefits by matching you with a top-tier expert in-network with hundreds of plans.

Lutein + zeaxanthin
These plant pigments act like sunglasses for your retina. Aim for a combined formula that supplies around 10–20 mg lutein and 2–4 mg zeaxanthin daily, taken with food. Curious why these two keep trending for screen strain?
Astaxanthin
A carotenoid from algae that people use for glare recovery and screen fatigue. Try 4–6 mg daily with your main meal for a month. Early clinical coverage points to digital eye strain relief: Study roundup that turned heads.
DHA omega-3
Think of this as moisture support. If you enjoy seafood, plan two fish meals per week. If you prefer capsules, pick a product with at least 500 mg DHA per serving and assess comfort after 4–6 weeks. Want a balanced view before you buy a bottle? Skim this explainer: Do fish oil pills help dry eyes?.
A 3-minute routine
Breakfast: lutein + zeaxanthin. Lunch: astaxanthin. Dinner: seafood twice weekly or a DHA capsule with your evening meal. Keep a simple log of eye comfort, reading clarity, and bedtime tired-eye feel.
Takeaway
Start with lutein + zeaxanthin, layer astaxanthin if screens still sting, and use seafood or DHA for moisture support; give the plan four weeks and track how your eyes feel.
