HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Eyes Love Lutein by Oregon's Wild Harvest
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
Eyes Love Lutein contains three active ingredients in each capsule. Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids — natural pigments that concentrate in the eye and are thought to protect the retina from aging and light damage.
Bilberry is a berry extract traditionally used for vision support. The inactive ingredients are pullulan (a plant-based capsule material), corn starch, and lactose monohydrate.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Lutein is possibly effective for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts, two common eye conditions linked to aging. Zeaxanthin is also possibly effective for AMD.
Bilberry's traditional use for night vision isn't backed by the evidence we hold — it rates as possibly ineffective for that claim. For other conditions listed (cognitive decline, Alzheimer's, asthma, and others), the evidence for zeaxanthin and bilberry is insufficient or not yet established.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Lutein is generally well tolerated at typical supplement doses, with no adverse effects reported up to 20 mg daily, and is rated Likely Safe in pregnancy and breastfeeding. Zeaxanthin is also generally well tolerated and Likely Safe in pregnancy and breastfeeding at normal supplement levels.
Bilberry fruit and extracts are generally well tolerated, though a small number of trial participants reported mild-to-moderate gas, stomach upset, or dark-colored stools and tongue discoloration. Bilberry is rated Likely Safe in pregnancy and breastfeeding, though concentrated supplement safety in these settings hasn't been well studied.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, double-check with your pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin, aspirin, or clopidogrel) — bilberry may increase bleeding risk. Also flag diabetes medications, since both zeaxanthin and bilberry may lower blood sugar further.
Additionally, if you take erlotinib (a cancer drug) or any medications processed by the liver enzyme CYP2E1, bilberry may reduce their effectiveness.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
If you're concerned about age-related eye changes like macular degeneration or cataracts, this product's lutein and zeaxanthin may be worth considering — the evidence is modest but encouraging. However, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting if you take blood thinners, diabetes medications, erlotinib, or other drugs your liver processes heavily, since bilberry may interfere with how those work or raise bleeding or low-blood-sugar risk.

Eyes Love Lutein by Oregon's Wild Harvest Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Eyes Love Lutein by Oregon's Wild Harvest contains three active ingredients — lutein, zeaxanthin, and bilberry — and the product does interact with certain medications.
The most serious concern involves bilberry's effect on blood thinners (anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs): bilberry may increase bleeding risk, a Moderate-severity interaction. Additionally, both zeaxanthin and bilberry can theoretically raise the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) when taken with diabetes medications — also Moderate severity.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Bilberry also carries Moderate-severity interactions with a specific cancer drug (erlotinib, or Tarceva) and with drugs metabolized through the liver enzyme CYP2E1, where it may reduce how well those medications work. Altogether, these interactions span 275 individual medications.
Lutein has no known drug interactions documented in our data. Before you start this product, run your exact medications through the checker on this page, especially if you take blood thinners, diabetes drugs, erlotinib, or any medications processed by your liver.

For each ingredient in Eyes Love Lutein with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Bilberry
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, bilberry fruit extract might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro, animal, and clinical research suggest that anthocyanidin extracts from bilberry can inhibit platelet aggregation.
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, bilberry leaf or fruit extract may increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal research suggests that bilberry leaf extract might have blood glucose-lowering activity. Also, one small clinical trial in patients with type 2 diabetes shows that taking bilberry fruit extract 470 mg as a single dose prior to an oral glucose tolerance test lowers plasma glucose levels when compared with placebo.
Cytochrome P450 2E1 (Cyp2E1) Substrates
Theoretically, bilberry fruit extract might decrease levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2E1.
Animal research shows that exposure to small concentrations of bilberry extract in drinking water for around one month increased CYP2E1 activity by 31%. However, exposure over a 2-month period did not increase CYP2E1 activity. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Erlotinib (Tarceva)
Theoretically, bilberry fruit extract might reduce the efficacy of erlotinib.
In vitro research suggests that bilberry fruit extract and its constituents, delphinidin and delphinidin-3-O-glucoside, inhibit the activity of erlotinib. This interaction has not been reported in humans.
