6Vegetarian Gentle No-Zinc AREDS 2 eye vitamin for genetically-targeted macular health, especially for people with family histories of age-related macular degeneration
The National Eye Institute's publication of the AREDS2 results in May 2013 demonstrated the effectiveness of targeted high-dose nutritional supplementation in the slowing and prevention of age-related macular changes.
Specifically, the newest research showed that:
And yet, a study published by Dr. Carl C. Awh in the professional journal, Ophthalmology, showed that when people with the genetic make-up that includes one or two complement factor H (CFH) risk alleles is present, the mineral zinc may negate the benefits of other crucial macula-supportive antioxidants. This is a particularly common scenario in patients aged 40-65 who do not yet have macular degeneration, but who have first degree relatives (father, mother, brother, sister) who have lost vision from the condition.
VisiVite AREDS2 No-Zinc White Formula contains high levels of Lutein, Zeaxanthin, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E, as recommended by this latest research.

So far so good, check with my opthamologist in June, Dr Kravitz
Very pleased with the results based on my eye doctor’s evaluation. Only a slight trace of ARMD.
It has stopped the problem.
I take these on the advice of my eye doctor.
I seem to be allergic to zinc. This product keeps me free of allergic reactions. Thanks!
I had LASIK surgery. At the time, it was recommended that I take Moistur-Eyes to help dry eyes. Can AREDS 2 replace the Moistur-Eyes for that purpose?
VisiVite AREDS2 White Formula, without zinc, is a macular degeneration formula specifically designed for patients who have been found to have no CFH markers and two copies of ARMS2 markers. You are inquiring about dry eye, for which Dr. Krawitz's patented Dry Eye Relief capsules - which can be found on this site - have been found to be very successful in controlling symptoms of chronic dry eye.
Has all needed except copper, as cupric oxide, 2 mugs daily, suggested by my doc. What about copper? Thanks for no zinc.
Copper is in AREDS 2 formulas with zinc to prevent anemia caused by the zinc. With a zinc-free formula such as VisiVite AREDS 2 White, there is no need for copper. Copper has no benefit for macular degeneration.
if you are diagnosed with MACULAR DEGENERATION can you take this vitiamin?
Yes, you can. This is the AREDS 2 formula without zinc, which may be detrimental to people with specific genetic markers. Because there is no zinc, there is no risk of zinc-induced anemia, so there is no copper needed in this formula.
Do you have this in powder form?
If you have difficulty swallowing, you can open the two pieces of the vegetarian capsule and put the powder over food or into a beverage.
