PreserVision AREDS 2 Eye Vitamin & Mineral Supplement, Contains Lutein, Vitamin C, Zeaxanthin, Zinc & Vitamin E, 120 Softgels (Packaging May Vary)

Used after eye surgery.

Does it work, I asked? Were there clinical trials to prove it was worth buying and using? Yes, my doc said. It’s the only thing that has been shown to slow the progression of potential macular degeneration. I trust them.

Exelente

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.

I started purchasing these vitamins about 4 years ago after being diagnosed with macular degeneration. I take 1 in the morning and 1 at night. I had an eye exam the other day and my condition has not gotten worse, it looks the same as it did 4 years ago. Was it the vitamins, Im not sure, but the eye doctor said that he has seen many cases like this and feels that they help. Will I continue to take them, YES.

Nothing bad to say regarding product. But why not put in a much small bottle? Large bottle approximately 1/3 filled ???

My ophthalmologist recommended these vitamins. I take them twice a day. They are pricey.

I have macular degeneration. This was recommended by my retinal specialist to help slow the progression of this eye disease.

I started taking Preservision AREDS2 at my doctor’s urging. It has helped stabilize my eyesight.

This product is working well for me.
