Scoring Methodology (2026)

This page explains how the rankings were scored.

Every supplement was evaluated using the same transparent 100-point scoring system based on label data and published research on ingredients linked to digital eye strain (DES), screen fatigue, glare, and blue-light discomfort.

Each product receives a 100-point total score, then that score is converted into a simple 0–10 rating used in the main reviews.

Methodology ✅ (How the scoring works)

Each supplement gets a 100-point score (shown in the spreadsheet), then it’s converted into a simple 0–10 score for this article so it’s easy to compare at a glance.

The scoring is based on what matters most for computer eye strain (digital eye strain) — not general “eye health” marketing.

✅ What was scored (100 points total)

Category Points What this means
Ingredient relevance for screen strain 40 Does it include proven DES-friendly ingredients (lutein/zeaxanthin, astaxanthin, bilberry, pine bark, omega-3, magnesium, saffron)?
Dosage vs human studies 20 Are the ingredients present in meaningful amounts — not “sprinkles”?
Label transparency & ingredient quality 15 Clear mg amounts, no hidden blends, cleaner excipients; I also note natural vs synthetic forms when relevant.
Manufacturing & verification 10 GMP / third-party testing claims and brand accountability.
Form & daily usability 10 Is it easy to take daily? Is the format stable? Gummies lose points for sugar and stability.
Screen-specific fit & honest marketing 5 Does the formula actually match what the product promises for screen users?

This ranking is strictly: “best formula wins.”
