Doctor recommended

My eye specialist swears by them. Im 83 with 20/25 uncorrected vision; so far so good.

Lets face it. You probably dont need any vitamin. Taking chemicals is no substitute for a balanced diet, as well as useless when you already have a balanced diet. Instead, eat your vegetables, vary your food sources, live long, and prosper. BUT A.R.E.D.S. was an eye study of people facing macular degeneration and it found these chemicals were of some benefit to these people. AREDS 2 found that some of those chemicals werent the source of the benefit and replaced them with others. These pills have exactly those chemicals in them, hence the name AREDS 2...supplement. There are other pills that have these same chemicals as well as others. I would take the position that you should not ingest chemicals (otherwise called vitamins or supplements) apart from a specific need. For instance, the concentrations of Vitamin E (a chemical) in eye vitamins were recently found detrimental to heart health. The whole market for these unregulated chemicals (which vendors prefer to call vitamins and mineral supplements) is premised on them NOT being regulated as drugs. Drugs are chemicals that affect our bodies. There is no difference. These are just unregulated chemicals, and generally there is no guarantee you are even getting what is on the label other than the good reputation of the manufacturer. Bausch & Lomb is a major eye product vendor, so we would hope that these pills are what they claim. They are also now widely available, including here, so its a good choice if you need these drugs. One more note, the best differences found in the studies were still less than 20%, so even in the best case, taking these is about small differences, not a miracle drug. It MIGHT slow the progression of macular degeneration a little bit.

Using this to help prevent macula degeneration

This came through so quickly! Great item and well worth it! Good to pamper yourself and keep all that the body needs. :-)

This product is working well for me.

My optometrist recommended that I start using PreserVision AREDS2 because my maternal grandmother, mother and her brother have had a history of macular degeneration. I have to say my vision improved after 6 months of using this supplement. I will continue to use it while praying that I have stopped any chances of the disease in my eyes by taking AREDS2.

I have macular degeneration and my doctor recommended me to take this product.

I couldnt continue using this product as it made me sick to my stomach regardless of taking it with or without food. I really wanted to use this but will have to find a similar product that doesnt make my stomach upset.

I send in Italy every six months to my father he soffer for macular degeneration this supplement help a lot I wish I can order through Amazon e send direct to him
