The AREDS vitamin formulation was designed to reduce the possibility of developing macular degeneration. This formula was developed as the result of several large studies designed to determine whether supplying certain nutrients would decrease the risk of developing macular degeneration in patients who had early signs of the disease.
It was found that the AREDS formulation was moderately effective in this select group of patients. It has no value as a general eye health vitamin in patients who are not at risk and should not be used for this purpose. There are other multi purpose vitamins that would serve you better.
