Protecting Your Vision:
What is AREDS 2?
If you or a loved one are managing Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), you have likely heard your eye doctor mention "AREDS 2."
But what exactly does it mean?
The Age-Related Eye Disease Study 2 (AREDS 2) was a landmark clinical trial that found a specific combination of antioxidants and vitamins can significantly slow down the progression of early-to-advanced dry AMD.
🟠Vitamin C & Vitamin E: Powerful antioxidants protecting eye cells.
🟡 Zinc & Copper: Essential minerals for retinal health.
🥬 Lutein & Zeaxanthin: Plant pigments that filter harmful blue light.
These vitamins are formulated specifically for people already diagnosed with early to advanced AMD. They are not a cure, and they do not prevent AMD from starting—but they are a proven tool to help preserve the vision you have.
