About Us

Vitamin Science, Inc. was founded in 2001 by renowned ophthalmic surgeon, Dr. Paul Krawitz. VisiVite Original and VisiVite Smoker Formulas were based upon the original AREDS research. But new formulas were developed following scientific studies showing the benefits of Lutein, Zeaxanthin and ROPUFA Omega-3 Fatty Acids.

Dr. Krawitz holds the academic position of Assistant Clinical Professor of Ophthalmology at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in Manhattan. He is a frequent lecturer at professional ophthalmic meetings regarding his highly successful surgical techniques for cataracts, glaucoma and specialty intraocular lenses.
In his position as President and C.E.O. of Vitamin Science, Inc., Dr. Krawitz holds several patents and trademarks for nutritional supplements that treat eye disease.

VisiVite Eye Vitamin Formulas are based on proven research in the most respected medical publications, including the National Eye Institute's Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) Age-Related Eye Disease Study 2 (AREDS2), the Lutein Antioxidant Supplement Trial (LAST) and others. Flimsly research or mere opinions are not the method used in the creation of our supplements.
