Are you wondering if the new PreserVision AREDS 3 supplements are worth trying for your AMD?

It's completely understandable to be cautious about new products! However, based on current information, AREDS2 remains the most recent and recommended formula for AMD supplements. The AREDS2 formula replaced the original AREDS formula and is what ophthalmologists generally prefer.

AREDS2 supplements contain:
- Vitamin C (500 mg)
- Vitamin E (400 IU)
- Zinc (80 mg)
- Copper (2 mg)
- Lutein (10 mg)
- Zeaxanthin (2 mg)

These supplements have been shown to help slow progression in people with intermediate AMD or late AMD in one eye. They're available over the counter under various brand names.

Before trying any new supplement or switching formulas, it's really important to discuss with your eye doctor whether it's appropriate for you and which specific product would be best. Your doctor can help you understand if you're a candidate for these supplements based on your AMD stage and can recommend a trusted brand.

Some supplements can interact with medications or cause side effects, so always check with your healthcare provider first.
