Yes, according to the findings of the AREDS studies, the specific formulation of vitamins and minerals recommended can significantly reduce the risk of progression to advanced AMD in people who are at high risk. However, these vitamins are not a cure for AMD, nor can they restore vision already lost from the disease.

People who are not at risk for AMD may not benefit from AREDS supplements. Additionally, smokers or former smokers should avoid original AREDS formulas containing beta-carotene due to an increased risk of lung cancer. Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement.

AREDS 2 is a follow-up study to the original AREDS. It tested several changes to the formula, notably adding lutein and zeaxanthin and removing beta-carotene, which was found to be potentially harmful to smokers. It also tested the effects of adding omega-3 fatty acids. The AREDS2 formula is considered an improvement based on this research.

Vitamins formulated based on the AREDS studies can be effective in slowing the progression of AMD in people at high risk. These vitamins are not a cure, but they can play a crucial role in managing the condition and maintaining eye health.

In addition to AREDS-based supplements, lifestyle changes can help slow down the progression of AMD. These include maintaining a healthy diet rich in green leafy vegetables and fish, exercising regularly, avoiding smoking, protecting eyes from UV light, and managing other health conditions like hypertension and cholesterol.
