Macular degeneration is an aging change that causes thinning and
retinal atrophy. This is known as dry macular degeneration. Typical macular
degeneration symptoms include drusen and retinal pigment atrophy. In some
patients, macular degeneration progresses to wet macular degeneration, also
known as exudative macular degeneration. These cases involve the abnormal growth
of new retinal blood vessels, known as neovascular membranes, that leak protein
and bleed below the surface of the retina, causing more abrupt and severe vision
loss.
The National Eye Institute's Age Related Eye Disease Study, published in
2001, showed that high dose nutritional supplementation slowed the progression
of macular degeneration. VisiVite Original AREDS Formula exactly duplicates the
National Eye Institute formula. Additionally, unlike other manufactures that use
synthetic dl-Alpha Vitamin E, VisiVite uses naturally derived d-Alpha Vitamin E.
