PreserVision AREDS 2 Vitamin & Mineral Supplement 460 Count Soft Gels

I have purchased this at the request of my optometrist. I have no problem with the product, the problem lies in the packaging for sale. The bottle clearly states there should be 120 capsules. The last two bottles I bought I ended up with a single capsule remaining, so with this bottle I decided to count the capsules. No big surprise, there was only 117. If this were an isolated incident, I wouldn't mind, but this is the third bottle in a row that did not have a correct amount included. I will be cancelling any future orders from this company and making my purchases in person or with another brand.

I have maculer degeneration and I wish everyone would use this to prevent this awful disease of the eyes. After using this product for over two years, my unaffected eye has gotten much stronger where I no longer need glasses for my far vision.Do yourself a favor and do not risk your vision, take care of the precious gift and use the AREDS 2.

I started taking this because I have been told that I have the beginnings of macular generation. I have been taking for about a year with no side effects although I've read that some people cannot tolerate the amount of zinc in this product. Of course, I can't tell if it's having any beneficial effect yet but it's better than doing nothing. I'm a little confused about some reviewers stating that this is very expensive and that you can buy the ingredients separately at a cheaper price. Really? I am paying $22.00 for a bottle of 120 soft gels that lasts me two months. That is 36 cents per day. I think if you were to buy Vitamins C and E, Zinc and Lutein separately, you would be paying a lot more. Plus, you'd have to take more pills. Why do that when everything you need is right here. Just my opinion.

Heavy computer use for 2 years damaged my eyes. There is a very notable improvement after 3 weeks.

I discovered the first AREDs study formula on line some years ago and purchased my own supplements to fill the list. Not a fan of pharmaceutical companies, I didn't know about nor did I look for a prepared version of the formula. I was also unaware of the AREDs2 study until very recently. Still, when asked at my ophthalmologist's office if I was taking the AREDs supplements I said yes... I was wrong.For the last six months I've been receiving injections for wet macular degeneration in my right eye but, judging by my second to last exam, they seemed to have run their course and were no longer having the desired positive effect. In the month between then and my most recent visit I discovered Bausch and Lomb's PreserVision AREDs2 formula and made the leap. I love these. No more keeping stocked with and choking down a half dozen supplement capsules; no more upset stomach from the zinc; and no more missing my doses for days at a time due to both of the above. Best of all, my peripheral vision has begun improving again and parts of the dark mass in the center of my eye are becoming translucent!I went to my ophthalmologist earlier this week. He was considering discontinuing the injections until I told him about the improvement I had been seeing this month. He got excited about what he saw when he looked at the back of my eye and decided to proceed with the injection one more time.I can't tell you how glad I am to have found this product. Bausch and Lomb got it exactly right! These little pills are improving my vision and thereby changing my life for the better. Don't hesitate to try these if you have macular degeneration. Even if you are not in a position to see an ophthalmologist regularly give your eyes this gift. They are worth every penny and more.

After all the glowing reviews, I got these for my brother. A few days later, he started to complain about pain where his liver is. We had no idea what this was. We had to go to the hospital and after being interviewed several times, we realized that these vitamins were the only thing that was different. It turns out my brother was having a rare reaction to these. If you read several of the reviews you will see that some people had trouble with this medication, so I am not saying that it does not work. I am saying be careful and consult a doctor before using it.

My eye doctor put me on this vitamin. Has tons of studies behind it and is recommended by my eye doctor cuz glaucoma runs in my family. So far my eyesight hasn't changed in the 5 years I've been on it. Perhaps it really is the vitamin. Either way I wouldn't stop taking it.

I don't know if this supplement really works, but when your vision is failing, you try whatever you think might help.I am in the early stages of macular degeneration. There are currently no medical solutions, and for virtually everyone who suffers from it, it will progress into complete loss of central vision if you live that long. The good news is that our broader vision and peripheral vision will remain, so we will be able to navigate, perhaps even drive safely, into our 80's. The bad news is we won't be able to read, do puzzles, perhaps watch television from more that a couple of feet.Like anyone facing such a situation, I have researched everything I could find for a cure, or at least a way to slow the progression of this disease. So far, the only scientifically promising means to slow the progression is an AREDS 2 Supplement. There may be an indication that Calcium Citrate might also help, but the evidence is thinner there.So I take Bausch and Lomb Preservision in an effort to stem the tide. Bausch and Lomb is an old, reputable company, known for it's quality optics, and it appears theirs is the best preparation available. I take it according to directions, a path recommended by my physician and my ophthalmologist.There isn't much more to say. I will never know if PreserVision made a difference, but I do believe that if something currently available can make a difference, this is it.
