Ocuvite Occuvite Eye Vitamin 120 Tablets

Bausch and Lomb Ocuvite Adult plus with Lutein, Zeaxanthin, & Omega-3 eye vitamins help replenish the vital nutrients your eyes can lose as you age with a unique formula to help protect your eye health. In addition to other minerals and nutrients, these eye vitamins contain 5 mg of Lutein and 1 mg of Zeaxanthin, plus 250 mg of Omega-3 which are important for proper retinal function and support overall eye health.

Dark, leafy, green vegetables are rich in Lutein and Zeaxanthin, but many of us typically do not get enough in our diet. Omega-3 can be found in foods such as oil-rich fish, fish oil, nuts, and fortified eggs. Unfortunately, most Americans consume diets deficient in Omega-3 nutrients.

Because the body cannot manufacture Lutein or Omega-3 and ordinary multi-vitamins only contain a fraction of these nutrients, Ocuvite Eye Vitamin Adult Formula is important to help maintain eye health.

Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS)

The Age-Related Eye Disease Study, called “AREDS” for short, was a major landmark medical study sponsored by the National Eye Institute, one of the federal government's National Institutes of Health. It closely followed about 3,600 participants with varying stages of AMD to see if taking high levels of antioxidant vitamins and zinc over a long period could reduce the risk of developing advanced AMD.

The landmark AREDS study showed that patients diagnosed with moderate to advanced AMD who are most at risk for progression to advanced disease decreased that risk by 25% and reduced the risk of AMD-associated vision loss by 19% by taking a high-potency antioxidant and mineral supplement every day.

The supplement tested and clinically proven effective in the AREDS study was the Bausch & Lomb PreserVision Eye Vitamin AREDS Formula Tablets.

Age-Related Eye Disease Study 2 (AREDS2)

Emerging scientific research suggests that there may be other nutrients that may also have a protective effect in AMD. These new nutrients are lutein, zeaxanthin, and omega-3 fatty acids. When AREDS was started, lutein and zeaxanthin were not readily available, so they were not tested in the study. Now, many researchers believe that lutein and zeaxanthin may be more significant for macular health.

A second nationwide study is currently underway called AREDS2. This is being conducted to determine whether these new nutrients – taken in combination with the antioxidants and minerals tested in the AREDS study – can further slow the progression of AMD and the associated vision loss.

Ocuvite provides what your multivitamin may be missing. Ocuvite Adult is packed with vital eye nutrients and is focused on one thing: helping protect your eye health. Your multivitamin can fall short when it comes to your eyes, because most leading brands contain little or no Lutein, Zeaxanthin or Omega-3s – vital nutrients important for your eye health.
