Preservision AREDS 2 Formula, 120 Soft Gels

In using this product since it became available, my sight (compromised by dry macular degeneration and monitored by an ophthamologist 4X per year) has remained about the same. The dose is 2 manageable gel caps twice a day. I can easily swallow them. They smell a bit fishy from the Omega 3 fish oils.I eat "real" food, avoiding GMO products and highly processed food-like products. I am 69 yrs old. Out of doors I wear UV protection dark glasses that fit over my regular Rx glasses. I have never smoked & have no family history of M.D.My eyechart sight test has stayed at 20/20, though I have to admit I've somehow memorized the bottom line on the chart.What would have happened had I not used this supplement is impossible to say.

This is a product that the Dr recommended for my medication regime...so I know I need them in my stock! I always try to keep ahead with them as they are expensive and I don't have time to run around drug stores or supermarkets when I run out of them!

My doctor recommended this product for my condition and it does seem to help

I read that Omega-3 fatty acids would help me with my dry eye problem, so when I saw this product I decided to give it a try, after a few days I noticed I needed a lot less lubricant eye drops a day. After a week or so after I finished the bottle I found I was needing more eye drops again, so at least for me it has definitely helped with my problem, so if you have severe dry eye like me please give this a try. it's not going to hurt and could be of great help. I could not be happier with this product.

PreserVision Eye Vitamin and Mineral Supplement AREDS 2 Formulas is vitamin and mineral supplement being used in asecond study to treat the degeneration of the macula, that portion of the retina which contains the area of most precise visualacuity (the fovea) in the retina of the eye. This degeneration occurs too often in the elderly and while it can be treated with intra-ocular injections by an eye doctor, a previous formula similar to AREDS 2 was found to preserve vision in 25% of those treated.This formulation is part of an ongoing study and adds Omega 3 to Lutein, Zeaxanthin, Vitamins C and E, and Zinc and Copperto form a constellation of anti-oxidant ingredients. It is expected to exceed the 25% benefit and many people I have spoken to in practice have found it to be beneficial alongside the use of prescription eye injection techniques. Or it can also be used as apreventive measure against the degeneration.One small downside to this formulation; the omega 3 content is so strong a "fish" odor is evident to the capsules but there is no fishy taste or aftertaste. The price to pay for a potent preparation.

The price is going up all the time. I know I need them but not sure how long I will be able to afford them.

Last year my ophthalmologist told me I have early dry Macular Degeneration. He recommended Preservision AREDS 2. I take them every day, 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening. I had my eyes examined last week, and there has been no progression of my MD. Only time will tell if it really works longterm, but I think it's worth it!Be sure to get the formula that is 4 capsules per day. I bought the wrong formula (2 per day) the 1st time.I have never had a problem with product freshness or fishy odor with these.

I have AMD and my Dr prescribes this to stabilize the condition. I follow his directions always
