The two major carotenoids in the human eye are lutein and zeaxanthin. They are often referred to as xanthophylls or macular pigments. In nature, lutein absorbs excess light energy to prevent damage to plants from too much sunlight, but in humans, we use lutein in our eyes to prevent UV damage. Lutein is a carotenoid found widely in egg yolks, vegetables, and some other plants. It's a yellow pigment, but in high concentrations, it appears orange-red. Zeaxanthin is an antioxidant carotenoid found in your macula, the small central part of your retina responsible for detailed central vision. Both molecules look and behave the same, but zeaxanthin is more polar and is a scavenger of damaging single oxygen radicals than can cause cellular carnage.
