Bausch & Lomb PreserVision® AREDS 2 Formula is a clinically proven eye health supplement designed to help reduce the risk of progression in individuals with moderate to advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Developed based on the National Eye Institute's Age-Related Eye Disease Study 2 (AREDS2), this formula replaces beta-carotene with lutein and zeaxanthin, making it suitable for current and former smokers.
Slows AMD Progression: The AREDS2 formula has been shown to reduce the risk of progression to advanced AMD in individuals with moderate to advanced stages of the disease.
Antioxidant Support: Contains high levels of antioxidants, including vitamins C and E, which help combat oxidative stress in the eyes.
Macular Health: Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids that accumulate in the macula and help filter harmful blue light, supporting central vision.
Zinc and Copper: Zinc supports the immune system and eye health, while copper is included to prevent copper deficiency anemia, which can be associated with high zinc intake.
Recommended Dosage: Take 2 gel caps per day or as recommended by your eye care professional, 1 in the morning, 1 in the evening, with a full glass of water and with food. Take them a few hours before or after taking other medications.
Medicinal Ingredients (per soft gel): Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) 250 mg, Vitamin E (di-alpha tocopheryl acetate) 92 mg AT (200 IU), Zinc (zinc oxide) 40 mg, Lutein (T. erecta-flower) 5 mg, Zeaxanthin (C. annuum – fruit) 1 mg.

It’s recommended for specific stages of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), especially intermediate AMD. It hasn’t been shown to prevent AMD in healthy eyes. Ask your eye care professional whether this formula suits your needs.
No. It contains lutein and zeaxanthin instead. That’s an important distinction for current and former smokers: beta-carotene-containing AREDS formulas increased lung-cancer risk in that group.
Take 1 softgel in the morning and 1 in the evening, with food.
At 2 softgels per day, 60 softgels provide 30 days and 120 softgels provide 60 days.
A regular multivitamin doesn’t provide the specific AREDS2 mix and amounts studied for age-related macular degeneration. Ask your eye-care professional before replacing a recommended AREDS2 supplement.
