Just had my annual Dr. review and he said there was no noticeable change over my exam last year. Seems to be doing its job.

VISTA® Advanced Carotenoid Formula
It is easy to take healthy vision for granted. When everything is working well, few people stop to consider the best way to protect and preserve their eyesight. The old adage—you don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone—certainly holds true for visual functioning. Neglect today often turns to regret tomorrow.
VISTA® understands how important sharp vision is for allowing you to stay focused on the activities you care about most—regardless of age. Fortunately, simple steps, including getting regular eye exams and fortifying your diet with key nutrients—such as carotenoids and omega-3 fatty acids—can help support ocular health throughout your life.*
Oxidative Stress and the Macula
The high-definition, technicolor ‘lens’ that we see the world through is due to the macula—the pigmented area on the back of the retina that is densely packed with photoreceptors. While the act of seeing feels effortless, behind the scenes the macula is hard at work—frantically collecting and sending visual sensory information to brain. This constant firing is energetically demanding, hence why the macula consumes more oxygen than any other tissue in the body.1
The upshot is that our crisp, color-filled vision creates and an astonishing amount of metabolic waste. Without a steady stream of neutralizing antioxidants, the macular tissue is extremely susceptible to oxidative stress. Overtime, the heavy bombardment of highly reactive oxygen species takes a toll on our eyes and may lead to glare sensitivity (especially when driving at night), reduced contrast sensitivity (resulting in difficulty reading under low illumination), slower hand-eye coordination, and—most concerning—macular degeneration, which, if left untreated, can result in blurred vision or even blindness.
Curative Carotenoids
Thankfully, protection comes in the form of three specific carotenoids—lutein, zeaxanthin, and meso-zeaxanthin. Carotenoids more generally are responsible for giving fruits and vegetables their vibrant pigments (i.e., red, orange, yellow, and purple) in addition to their well-known restorative, antioxidant properties.* Likewise, in the eye, the yellow tint of the macula lutea is due to the presence of the aforementioned carotenoids, which accordingly help to defend the photoreceptor cones against free radical damage. These carotenoids offer a much-needed check on oxidative stress, thus are critical in the fight against macular degeneration.*
Visual Performance
On top of providing excellent antioxidant action, the combination of lutein, zeaxanthin, and meso-zeaxanthin also promotes optimal visual performance.* A study found that daily supplementing with carotenoids for 6-months increased contrast acuity as well as macular pigment optical density.2 Similarly, young adults taking a supplement of said carotenoids over 4-months had significantly better visual processing speeds compared to a control group.3 High acuity and processing speeds lead to faster reaction times, hence why so many professional athletes have turned to carotenoids to improve their game.
VISTA® Advanced Carotenoid Formula
Our Advanced Carotenoid Formula contains a unique 28 mg blend of lutein, zeaxanthin, meso-zeaxanthin, and astaxanthin—another reddish carotenoid found in plants—as well as other salubrious ingredients to optimize antioxidant levels in the macula. Algae oil, which is high in DHA, an essential omega-3 fatty acids, is a potent anti-inflammatory agent that supports, the fluidity of photoreceptor membranes, visual functioning, and retinal integrity by preventing cell death. Bilberry, which contains anthocyanins (plant-based polyphenols), and Vitamin E are both strong antioxidants and may help neutralize harmful free radicals created by normal cell metabolism—especially that of the macula.* This is important considering the pathogeneses of several age-related ophthalmic diseases may involve oxidative stress.
VISTA® Advanced Carotenoid Formula was created by doctors and guided by the latest scientific research to specifically enrich the nutrition in the retina and support macular health.* It meets the highest quality standards and is manufactured in the USA.
- Carotenoids: Lutein, Meso-zeaxanthin and Zeaxanthin are known as macular pigments. These pigments are uniquely located in the center area of the retina called the macula/fovea and protect it from oxidative stress.*
- Algae Oil: Rich in high quality omega-3 fatty acid called Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA). The retina has a high concentration of omega-3’s, particularly DHA, which optimizes fluidity of photoreceptor membranes, retinal integrity, and visual function.* Furthermore, many studies demonstrated that DHA has a protective, for example antiapoptotic, role in the retina.5
- Bilberry: Contains anthocyanins which are plant-based polyphenols that have shown potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.* Antioxidants play an important role in the prevention and treatment of age-related ophthalmic diseases; whose pathogeneses involve oxidative stress and inflammation.6*
- Vitamin E: Mixed blend of delta and gamma isomers. Vitamin E is a strong antioxidant that has excellent absorption and provides protection and support to many of our organs.* In the eye, Vitamin E helps protect from UV light.4

Well, I have no idea if they’re working I am hoping that my immaculate degeneration does not advance because this says all the goodies that my eyes need I have no stomach upset taking them. I wish they were a little cheaper, but I will continue to take them.
I assume the vitamin works as promised. I dont know how to judge that. I wish it did not have the fishy odor,but that is probably not fixable, and i can deal with that. My biggest concern is the cost. I only purchase it based on dr recommendation, to treat macular degeneration in both eyes. But it is very expensive, especially given other eye treatment- related expenses. I wish there was a way of having it listed as a prescription , or some way to get some sort of break on the price occasionally. I am considering replacing it with a combination of 2 other formulations from a different brand which, together, equal the ingredients and amounts in this Vista formulation, but are much cheaper, even for 2 bottles.
I was diagnosed with retinal folds in both eyes about 7 years ago by a retinal specialist. He wrote the Rx for my medication. Very easy to order and it always arrives in 2 days. No problems taking it 2x day. My yearly exams show my eye condition is staying steady so I believe the medication is helping.
Your Vista Advanced has enabled me with the injections from Retinal Consultants of Arizona to improve my vision. I use your product as directed to enhance the positive results I am experiencing from scheduled injections and supportive help from your product… a great combination!
I get the Carotenoid Formula. I am hopeful that it will assist with dissipating the cysts in the layers of my retina.
Ordering is easy and I received my order in a timely manner. My only complaint is the taste of the capsule—-ugh!
Been using it since retinal detachment surgery as ordered by my Doctor. It's been 3 years and haven't had any problems. Will continue taking it cause it's working.
I have been taking Vista capsules for over a year now and although my doctor has not seen any improvement, at least my eyes have not changed.
Ordering and receiving is easy. Arrived on time. Wish it didn't cost so much. They call and text me when I'm ready for my next lot of pills and let me order when I'm ready. Thanks!!
I take them faithfully, because my Dr. Recommended them. It's difficult to know, but I am seeing well. I also get shots in each eye on a regular basis. What would I be able to see without your product and the eye shots? Who knows, but I suspect that I would be seeing vary little. God is good!!
I have been using this product for 2 years. I can tell when I forget it too. It’s great easy to swallow. I will continue to use it.
I have used Vista Advantage for a 2-3 years and my glaucoma and macular degeneration are holding steady. Thanks!
My retina specialist advised me to take it because I have so much macular degeneration in my family. I have been taking it for about 5 years
According to my eye doctor it seems to be working, and my eyesight is not getting worse to much, in other words, it has slowed it down a lot according to the doctor.
Packaging still needs improvement. Last shipment had one leaking capsule which contaminated surrounding capsules and the the weekly pill box used for daily distribution of sevseal other medications. Vista Advanced was doctor recommended to slow progression of AMD had has proven effective. advancement of AMD and has proven effective.
Me gusta mucho el productor ha ayudado mucho en mi proceso de recuperación de mis ojos muchas gracias
Been taking this supplement for 4 years. No sign of increased macular degeneration!
Degenerating eyes caused my doctor to start me on these pills. My vision loss has clearly slowed and I am taking the meds religiously.
These pills are keeping my eye not get any worse witch is all I can do there's no cure for it so that's a good thing
They come on time and they work well my eyes are doing well.
The new capsules are NOT leaking! Love it!

The vitamins arrived on time undamaged. Thank you for your service
Wonderful product, extremely effective and helpful .
The ordering and delivery was fine. However, I don’t know if it’s helping my eyes a whole lot, but I will continue to use it at the advice of my retina specialist.
Recommended by my Ophthalmologist. My wet AMD it stable.with regular treatments. I'd like to think the Carotenoid supplements are contributing to that stability.
Taking these for both wet and dry macular. Been on them for 3 years and everything is staying the same.
Prescribed for a long time. Eye deterioration has slowed so good result.
works great. great quality. great company that manufactures them i highly recommend them outstanding products

It was recommended by my retinologist. When I stopped using it, I had retina problems. I hope they get better now I have restarted it.
It's working for me.
Fast delivery. Great product. My Dr recommended this brand.
My eye condition is stable , no side affects and no upset stomach after taking it with my breakfast.
Quality product, however packaging needs to be improved to preclude broken capsules contaminating other capsules.
I think the special vitamins are helping, I'll know when I see my eye doctor. Not doing any worse! Thank you!
Vista helps with my eye health.
Hopefully with the vitamins and shots, my macular degeneration will stay stable . . . it has . . . so far!
Pills work great. Seem to be doing the trick.
