  A Familiar Bottle, an Unfamiliar Label If your eye doctor has recommended AREDS 2 supplementation, PreserVision is probably one of the products they've mentioned. It's one of the most widely recommended brands in the category, largely because it was directly formulated to match the AREDS 2 clinical formula. But if you've held the bottle in your hand and squinted at the ingredients panel, you might have some questions about what's actually in there. So let's walk through it together in plain language.

So What Are Eye Supplements, Really? Stripped of all the buzzword language, eye supplements are nutritional products formulated specifically with the nutrients your eyes care about. We're talking lutein, zeaxanthin, vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, copper, and often omega-3 fatty acids.
