AMD is a leading cause of blindness in Americans 65 years of age and older The exact cause of AMD is unknown, and some risk factors can’t be modified, such as age, heredity, and having light skin or eye color. In others, the disease progresses faster and may lead to a loss of vision in both eyes. In some cases, AMD advances so slowly that people notice little change in their vision. AMD affects the macula, the part of the eye that allows you to see fine detail, but causes no pain. Central vision is needed for seeing objects clearly and for common daily tasks such as reading and driving. Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a disease associated with aging that gradually destroys sharp, central vision. Also, it is important to remember that most of the study participants took a daily multivitamin in addition to an AREDS 2 supplement. The vitamins and minerals tested in the AREDS and AREDS2 studies were provided in much higher doses than what is found in typical multivitamins. Can a daily multivitamin alone provide the same vision benefits as an AREDS2 formulation? No. PreserVision AREDS 2 formula contains the updated formula now recommended by the National Eye Institute. The AREDS2 study replaced beta-carotene with lutein and zeaxanthin. The original AREDS and AREDS2 studies showed that taking a supplement with a precise formula of select vitamins and minerals can help reduce the risk of progression in people with moderate to advanced AMD.
