As we progress through life, we witness countless sights that broaden our perspectives and color our memories. Our visual system, however, is delicate, and eyesight often starts to decline in individuals over the age of 50. Even so, not all changes are normal.
Of particular concern is age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which afflicts approximately 15 million Americans and is a leading cause of blindness. AMD comes in two forms: dry and wet. The milder dry form is more common; however, much like how high blood pressure carries health consequences overtime, so too does failing to control AMD. If left unchecked, mild symptoms can give way to the more severe wet form, which can blur, distort, and completely degrade a person’s central field of vision.
Lutein and Zeaxanthin
Two landmark NIH funded clinical studies—Age Related Eye-Disease Study (AREDS, 2001) and AREDS2 (2012)—revealed the critical role that nutrition plays in the development of AMD. These studies are notable in that they are the largest human clinical trials to evaluate the relationship between lutein and zeaxanthin to AMD. It was found that a higher intake of bioavailable lutein and zeaxanthin was associated with a reduced risk of progression from the intermediate to the advanced stages of AMD by as much as 35%.
Lutein and zeaxanthin—which are potent carotenoids primarily found in leafy green vegetables, such as kale, spinach, broccoli and collards—are thought to protect against AMD by reducing oxidative and photo-oxidative stress. Most people, however, do not get an adequate amount of lutein and zeaxanthin in their diet. For people who lack these nutrients, or who are experiencing the early stages of AMD, it is advisable to supplement with lutein and zeaxanthin.
Superior Formulation
VISTA® Advanced AREDS2 Formula was developed by leading eye physicians specifically for patients with AMD based on cutting edge, scientific discoveries. The role that nutrition plays in eye health has increasingly come into focus over the past couple of decades. We have taken key insights from peer-reviewed and accredited research to develop a superior product aimed at supporting visual functioning over a lifetime.
Every ingredient in VISTA® Advanced AREDS2 Formula serves a purpose. We included the precise ratio of 10:2 of lutein to zeaxanthin, which has been clinically shown to be ideal by the AREDS studies. Building on this solid foundation is the incorporation of the powerful antioxidants Vitamin C and E along with Selenium to increase absorption, as well as the minerals Zinc and Copper, which were part of the original AREDs formula. Our formula goes beyond by adding the reductive amino acid L-glutathione, which decreases in the eye with age. This is problematic since L-glutathione protects the eye against reactive oxygen species and helps to sustain the hydration and transparency of the cornea (lens), allowing us to properly form images on the retina and see clearly.
Maintaining optimum eyesight, particularly as we age, requires a unique matrix of essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. It’s important not to overlook the critical role nutrition plays in sustaining eye health overtime. We know the value of being able to see clearly at every stage in life. That is why we have put research and care into creating evidence-based, high quality nutritional products.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.7 / 5 from 479 reviews.
I do feel they are helping my eyes. I will see if the eye doctor notices any difference when I see them in July.
This is not an easy review since the outcomes are pretty hard to measure in the short term. My hope is that the product helps to reduce the chances of loosing my eyesight due to macular degeneration.
I discovered that is imperative to take the capsules with lots of water to avoid stomach issues.
Doctor says it’s working; need this medication; have Wet AMD in left eye and now Dry AMD in my right eye; I’m so lucky! Been receiving Vabysmo injections in left eye for over four years every 10 weeks!
I have had issues with very dry eyes for a few years now, tried eyedrops and ointments, which never work. At my recent optometry appointment, I asked my Doc about any new remedies for dry eyes, and he told me to try this product. I have been taking it for a little over 2 weeks now, and it seems to be helping - I will continue to order.
my macular degeneration is stable. my oldage vision is still there. i will continue to take these vitamin pills for the rest of my life. I'm 90 years young.
The customer service experience was great. My order arrived in timely fashion. I have not noticed any change from the AREDS I was taking before. That being said, the capsule itself is much larger than my previous brand and a bit harder to swallow.
I was happy to see Vista Advanced displayed in my eye Drs office. The staff has always been very pleasant to work with and very helpful when I have a question. Not sure about the help it's doing for me as after cataract surgery I have developed wet MD!
I have not had it for a month yet. Seems to be doing well. My eyes seem to feel better. At age 80 I am not that sensitive as I use to be!? I will take it for my six months and get my eye Dr. and see what my test show But all is well so far!!! I don’t have to put drops in my eyes as often during the day
I have tried numerous different AREDS 2 agents and have experienced significant nausea. I have no side effects with the Vista agents. I now have numerous family members taking these supplements. Thank you
I have AMD, have taken a Lutein formula fo 30 years. my ophthalmologist and retina specialist recommended I switch to Vista; it would benefit my progression of this disease. I’ve been taking it for almost 3 years and my condition remains “dry”, which for me is the best news I could receive.
I started taking
vista A
reds2 upon my doctor's advice. I've had no problems but cannot say whether my macular degeneration is affected by using the product. I had a change in doctors but the new doctor continues to recommend Vista Areds2.
I have had trouble in the past with the Areds, but my eye doctor recommended you and when I called with my concerns the girl explained to me how the zinc content was much lower than the other products. The only problem I have, I can’t take two a day so my doctor told me to try the one and it works. This is why I haven’t called for a replacement yet. Thank you for reaching out, God Bless!!
This supplementation helps me feel a bit more secure that my macular degeneration doesn't progress. I have regular eye exams and it has not progressed as of now.
These vitamins were recommended by my ophthalmologist for early macular degeneration symptoms. The vitamins seem to be keeping the progression I check, so far.
Areds2 work great in conjunction with Vabysmo injections for my Wet AMD eye disease and so far is keeping it under control according to my retina surgeon!
I have been using your advanced AREDS2 formula for a number of years now and it has been helping my Retinoligest control my AMD. One time an order was destroyed by heat in shipping. You were very prompt in replacing said order at no cost to me. Your auto refill service has been very acurrate and has my next order in the mail just as I am about to reorder it. I couid not be more pleased with your product and your service.
Love the auto ship and it comes to the house. My Eye Doctor, Dr Sander’s recommended I switch to Vista last year. He said he took them, so I switched. Been Happy
I started taking the Vista brand of AREDS vitamins when I was diagnosed with macular degeneration (dry). I don’t know for sure if it’s the vitamins or eye drops or just my health, but in a year and a half, the condition has not progressed- and that’s good news!
I have been using your eye caps for a few years and they have really helped keep my vision at an acceptable stage. I have AMD and receive eye shots in both eyes to help my vision. The Doctor thinks they are doing so well because of your eye vitamin
Thank you
Thane
My order does not arrive till sometime after May 10. But I have been using Vista for over a year. My last eye check up showed better vision than my original eye check up. I believe this formula is giving me better eye be health.
I was going ask my Dr what eye vitamins he recommended. When I entered his office there was your vitamins on display. I have been taking them for several years so now I know I made the right choice.
I spoke to a representative regarding my difficulties in swallowing such a humongous pill. He suggested letting it soften in my mouth before biting down on the capsule, then spitting out the casing. I follow up with some apple sauce. Works great!
