Our approach

Built around floater research.
Broadened for daily eye nutrition.

Haro Clear combines five nutrient categories represented in FLIES Floater Intervention Study (FLIES): a 2021 trial of a five-nutrient supplement for adults with symptomatic vitreous floaters. , 900 mg of fruit enzymes per daily serving, and the retinal carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin.

Retinal carotenoids

8mg

lutein + zeaxanthin

Carotenoids found in the retina and lens, included in every daily Haro Clear serving.

What have studies on fruit enzymes and targeted nutrients found—and how do they relate to Haro Clear?

Two daily capsules of Haro Clear provide 600 mg bromelain and 300 mg papain. Together, these fruit-derived enzymes contribute 900 mg and are the formula’s largest ingredients by weight.

Before: A 55-year-old woman had one eye floater visible on a B-scan at the start of the study.

After three months: The paper reports that the floater was significantly reduced on the follow-up B-scan after she received the mixed fruit enzyme supplement tested in the study.

Before: A 58-year-old man with diabetes had a dark-red cloud over the retina caused by bleeding inside the eye.

After three months: The paper reports that the clouding decreased and his vision improved from 20/200 to 20/40 after he received the mixed fruit enzyme supplement tested in the study.

What was tested?

The 2022 study included 160 participants with spontaneous vitreous opacities and 64 with hemorrhage-related opacities. These are different clinical situations; the before-and-after examples should be read in that context. Over three months, participants received a vitamin C comparator or one, two or three daily capsules of a combination containing bromelain, papain and ficin. The researchers reported improvements with the combination tested.

How to read the findings

Haro Clear centers its fruit-enzyme component on 600 mg bromelain and 300 mg papain, paired with targeted micronutrients, lutein and zeaxanthin in a nine-ingredient formula.

This trial tested bromelain, papain and ficin together. Haro Clear does not contain ficin and was not tested in this trial; these findings do not establish equivalent results for Haro Clear.
