3 Things You Need to Know About PreserVisione
✅ AREDS supplements are not all the same.
PreserVision contains the exact level of nutrients recommended by the NEI to help reduce the risk of moderate-to-advanced AMD progression.
✅ PreserVision and Ocuvite are NOT interchangeable.
Ocuvite vitamins support general eye health but do not contain the same formula that was studied in the AREDS2 trial.
✅ Multivitamins are no substitute for an AREDS supplement.
They do not contain the same levels of nutrients found in the AREDS 2 Formula.
Whatis AMD?
- AMD—age-related macular degeneration—is a disease that affects the eyes. Macular degeneration is when the macula, a small part in the back of your eyes, becomes damaged which starts to affect the central part of your vision.
- The damage to the macula can happen over time and is due to many different factors like general aging, genetics, damage from the sun, and the effects of smoking.
Understanding Dry vs Wet AMD
All AMD starts as dry AMD, and between 10-15% of people progress to wet AMD which is an advanced stage of the condition. Learn more about the differences here.
The AREDS 2 formula in PreserVision has been shown to help reduce the risk of progression for moderate-to-advanced AMD.* Because there is no cure to AMD, delaying progression is one way to help.

FAQ
Can I take PreserVision along with a multivitamin?
Can I take PreserVision along with a multivitamin?
Yes. Nine out of every ten participants in the AREDS2 clinical trial (the trial that the PreserVision AREDS 2 formula is based on) were taking multivitamins along with the AREDS2 formulation. Researchers noted no significant side effects.
If you want to take an AREDS2 formulation eye vitamin and prefer the convenience of taking just one supplement, you can choose PreserVision AREDS 2 Formula with Multivitamin.
Can ltake a multivitamin instead of PreserVision?
Can ltake a multivitamin instead of PreserVision?
No. The PreserVision AREDS 2 Formula contains the exact nutrient formula recommended by the NEI that was tested and proven in the second Age Related Eye Disease Study, AREDS2. In that study, people who took multivitamins alone did not see the same effects as study participants who took the AREDS2 formulation.
DoIneed to take two pills a day?
DoIneed to take two pills a day?
It is important to take both doses of PreserVision because some of the nutrients in PreserVision—like zinc and Vitamin C—can't be stored by our bodies. Instead, your body excretes what it doesn’t absorb. Because of this, you need a fresh supply of these vitamins every day. The only way to make sure that you maintain protective levels of all the important nutrients is by taking your PreserVision AREDS 2 Formula supplement twice a day, every day.
Can lget the nutrients that are in PreserVisionin my diet,instead?
Can lget the nutrients that are in PreserVisionin my diet,instead?
It would be very hard to get the levels of antioxidants and zinc in PreserVision from your diet alone, even if you eat plenty of green leafy vegetables. As we age, we become less able to absorb certain nutrients from the foods we eat. The AREDS2 trial showed that people who got the least amount of lutein and zeaxanthin in their diets benefited the most from high dose supplementation with these nutrients.
Why should I take PreserVision with food?
Why should I take PreserVision with food?
Some of the important nutrients in PreserVision, like lutein and vitamin E, are fat-soluble. That means your body absorbs them more effectively when you take them with a meal that includes a little good fat — for example, vegetable oil. If your stomach is sensitive to any of the nutrients in PreserVision, you may also find that taking your supplement with a meal lessens any sensitivity.
Why is there 80mg of zincin the PreserVision AREDS 2 Formula?
Why is there 80mg of zincin the PreserVision AREDS 2 Formula?
During the first AREDS trial, researchers tested four nutrient formulas with different levels of vitamins and minerals: zinc alone, antioxidants alone, a combination of antioxidants plus zinc, and a placebo. At the end of the five-year study, the study participants who took antioxidants plus 80 mg of zinc had the lowest risk of AMD progression to the advanced stage. Based on these findings, the National Eye Institute recommends a vitamin formula that contains 80 mg zinc.
