AREDS and AREDS 2 Studies

Age Related Eye Disease Study

The Age Related Eye Disease Study ( AREDS ) Study was a major clinical trial by the National Eye Institute. Part of the National Institutes of Health. The AREDS was meant to learn more about the History and Risk factors from Age Related Macular Degeneration and cataracts. And to test the effect of large doses of Zinc and antioxidants on AMD and cataracts.

Age Related Eye Disease Study 2

The Age Related Eye Disease Study 2 ( AREDS 2 ) A Major Clinical Trial done By the National Eye Institute. Built on previous work done on AREDS and also a national study on the effects of high doses of antioxidants and fish oil on the progression of AMD.



Macular Degeneration

Macular Degeneration

Age Related Macular Degeneration

Often known as AMD this is one of the major leading causes of loss of eyesight among people who are older than 65 years old. This is becoming a growing problem as this age group grows and people are living to an older age. AMD is the degeneration of part of the macula which is the part of the retina that is important for your central vision needed to read or drive.

Dry And Wet Macular Degeneration

There are two types of Macular Degeneration. Dry AMD and Wet AMD.

Dry AMD is an early stage of AMD and is simply from aging and it's characterized by deposits that slowly build up and begin accumulating around the macula as tissue begins to deteriorate. As this process starts to progress over the years, gradual vision loss continues until there can be severe vision loss. There are no FDA approved treatments currently available. However the AREDS Studies linked high dose beta carotene vitamins C and E with a lowering of the risk and a slowing of the progression of Dry AMD.

Wet AMD Dry AMD can progress into wet AMD which is much more damaging to the eyes and the vision. What happens whith wet AMD is new blood vessels grow under the retina and leak blood which damages the retinal cells. These retinal cells then die from this damage and cause blind spots in your vision. Your eye care specialist can test you for AMD. Once again there is no FDA approved treatment for AMD. However the AREDS 2 studies showed that high dosages of Lutein and Omega 3 and one milligram of Zeaxanthan were a good vitamin combination to slow the onset of AMD. There are no cures for these diseases however they are showing many improvements by using Occuvite Preservision Eye Vitamins. Have you used this product and what was your outcome?
