The Best Option in a Bad Situation
I don't know if this supplement really works, but when your vision is failing, you try whatever you think might help.
I am in the early stages of macular degeneration. There are currently no medical solutions, and for virtually everyone who suffers from it, it will progress into complete loss of central vision if you live that long. The good news is that our broader vision and peripheral vision will remain, so we will be able to navigate, perhaps even drive safely, into our 80's. The bad news is we won't be able to read, do puzzles, perhaps watch television from more that a couple of feet.
Like anyone facing such a situation, I have researched everything I could find for a cure, or at least a way to slow the progression of this disease. So far, the only scientifically promising means to slow the progression is an AREDS 2 Supplement. There may be an indication that Calcium Citrate might also help, but the evidence is thinner there.
So I take Bausch and Lomb Preservision in an effort to stem the tide. Bausch and Lomb is an old, reputable company, known for it's quality optics, and it appears theirs is the best preparation available. I take it according to directions, a path recommended by my physician and my ophthalmologist.
There isn't much more to say. I will never know if PreserVision made a difference, but I do believe that if something currently available can make a difference, this is it.
