"This drug gave me the worst constipation I've ever experienced. I drink a pot of coffee every morning, and after I have a bowel movement without fail, like clockwork. Not on this drug! I took this drug, 1 gel capsule per day for 3 weeks before I realized this was the drug causing it. The constipation was so severe, it took two Enemeez in a row, and it was the most painful pass of my life. I've been off of the drug for 3 days now, and it's getting better, but WOW! Avoid this drug like the plague!"

"I have used AREDS 2 for at least 4 years with little problem, but in the last few weeks have had extreme leg pain to the point that walking is difficult. I only take AREDS and B/P medication, and after talking to my doctor, who has never heard of this problem with AREDS, we changed my B/P meds, which did not help. I researched on the computer and found that AREDS can cause this problem. I have stopped the use of AREDS 2, and after a week, my pain is so much better. Have other people had any similar issues? I wish there was better documentation!"

"Diagnosed very young for age-related MD - I’ve been on AREDS for years with very little progression of this disease. Because I have taken AREDS, I can only tolerate one per day, and yet it held my MD from getting worse, it has gotten better! I’m 61 now - I thought I’d be blind! It does make me sick sometimes, and it’s awful, but I’d rather be sick sometimes than blind. I’m grateful even when I’m terribly sick."

"Was told to take 2 a day because of beginning macular degeneration. Immediately had upset stomach, pain in stomach, felt yucky. I’m getting my money back from Costco and telling my 2 eye doctors and will be looking for something else. I think PreserVision needs to know about these complaints and devise a new formula."

"I started taking AREDS 2 many years before my diagnosis of AMD. My dad took them for his AMD, so I was genetically in the high-risk category and figured I'd get a 'leg up.' I've been taking them for probably 8 years with no problem, and that (and, I'm convinced, my daily dose of blueberries - doctor-approved!) has kept my AMD from worsening. Just recently, I started getting blurriness in one eye and went to see my specialist to make sure it wasn't a bleed (I have dry MD in both eyes). He said there had been a couple of recent studies about MD and zinc, and since I was in the high-risk range, he gave me a substitute eye supplement with only 25mg of zinc as opposed to 80. So while I just recently had a problem with it (perhaps), I have to say it's served me really well for a long time."

"I have been struggling with abdominal pain and nausea for six months. I have diverticulitis, and I thought perhaps it was due to that. I had an ultrasound and a CAT scan done, and everything was normal. I didn’t realize that perhaps it could’ve been the AREDS 2 that I started taking. After hearing all of the other comments, that’s what it was. I asked my eye doctor what she recommends, and she told me about another vitamin to take. I have just ordered some, and I have stopped taking AREDS 2."

"Reading these reviews, I'm flabbergasted. I have been taking AREDS 2 for 3 years. Not one issue. None! In the 3 years I have taken them, my dry MD has remained the same. No worsening. I take one in the a.m. before breakfast. One after dinner. Very happy with the product."

"PreserVision AREDS 2 ~ 2 daily, with food. 1 morning, 1 evening. Severe sleeplessness, only 3 or 4 hours a day. Night sweats and blurred vision. Sorry for those who have much worse side effects. This page was difficult to find."

"I took AREDS 2 religiously twice a day, probably about 8 years. When zinc became popular for COVID prevention, I googled and realized I was getting twice the recommended dose of zinc in AREDS. I then saw I had several of the rare side effects of AREDS. The only one I can definitely attribute to AREDS is breast pain, which went away when I stopped taking it. Joint pain, trouble going to sleep, low energy, and a weak feeling could be age. The retinal doctor was almost rude when I told him and asked about only taking one a day. My eyes hadn't gotten worse while on it. I haven't had an exam since stopping it."

"After noticing a decline in vision that I was told is normal for my age, I tried a bottle of PreserVision once and noticed some blurred vision, but no noticeable improvement overall. A couple of years later, I decided to try again, starting with two bottles. (Since I usually do not have bad reactions to supplements and I had taken these previously.) Immediately, I noticed mild to severe nausea after every pill. I stopped taking them and tried again a few times, taking one a day. Still no improvement in nausea and some blurred vision. I regret purchasing two bottles and will definitely be more careful with supplements in the future."

"I have been experiencing nausea and diarrhea the past few days and just realized it’s coinciding with my taking Centrum Silver. I’ve never had issues with other multivitamins. I will stop taking it as it has not ceased even though what I’m reading says symptoms should subside after a few days. It’s not worth it."

"I started taking PreserVision on the advice of an optometrist who said she detected AMD in my right eye. I started taking it 4 months back. About 3 weeks back, I started noticing that my eyes get tired quickly and my vision getting blurred. It seemed to get worse day by day. I assumed that my AMD was getting worse, but does it progress so quickly? Then I read the reviews here and saw other people were getting blurred vision too. I stopped it 3 days back, and it seems my blurred vision is improving. Not sure yet. I am meeting an ophthalmologist this week and hope to find out the truth."

"I don’t normally write reviews, but I wanted to share a positive experience with AREDS 2 that my mom and I both had. My mom was first prescribed AREDS 2 by her optometrist after her cataract surgery at the age of 75. She had no issues or side effects from this vitamin supplement. After her follow-up appointment with her eye doctor and the positive benefits it was doing for her eye condition, I also started taking them at the age of 45. I have been taking them now for 8 years, and through laser surgery, my doctor was impressed with how fast my eyes healed. I haven’t had any reactions or side effects from this vitamin supplement either, and I believe it has also helped in keeping my eyes moist and from drying out. My review is to say that AREDS 2 has helped and worked as described benefits for our family, and we have been very fortunate not to have had any of the allergic reactions that have been noted and discussed in the previous reviews and warnings."

"After about a month of taking AREDS 2, I began getting sudden strong nausea. I reduced to 1 a day and began taking it with food, but nausea persists. I have to immediately eat rice cakes after to get rid of the nausea. They have zinc oxide: 'Nausea and vomiting are commonly reported side effects of zinc toxicity.'"

"Macular degeneration runs in my family, but I don’t have it. But I bought AREDS 2 by Bausch and Lomb. Anyway, it makes me sick or ill in my stomach. I also sent it to my 92-year-old sister who has MD, and it made her ill also. What do you think? Rita."

"My doctor advised that I had the very early signs of macular degeneration and suggested AREDS 2 (one per day in the morning). A week later, I had a terrible dizzy spell. Thought maybe it was just from the heat. However, two days later, I was sitting in the house and had another terrible dizzy spell. The only thing I could contribute it to was AREDS 2. Stopped taking them and have not had any additional dizziness. I have since talked to others who have taken this drug, and they advised they stopped taking it due to various issues they experienced."

"Bought this product 8-11-2022 at Costco store, was suggested by their pharmacist. Since I was diagnosed, I have cataracts in both eyes. Go home same day, take 2 pills as it suggested after my meal, threw up about 20 minutes later. 8-12-2022, only ate cereal, after that took 2 pills as it suggested, threw up about 20 minutes later. 8-13-2022, only ate steamed rice, after that took 2 pills as it suggested, threw up about 20 minutes later. Today, 8-14-2022, I’m going to stop taking this PreserVision AREDS 2. This product, to me, is like food poison, it made my stomach upset and made me nauseous and threw up. Not good. Will take the bottle back to Costco and get my money back."

"I’m 65 and thought this would be good insurance for keeping my eyes healthy. I still have 20/20 vision after seeing the optometrist last month, and thankfully no eyesight problems. However, my mom and I also think my grandmother were both diagnosed with macular degeneration. What a mistake! Less than 30 minutes after taking one of these capsules, I had awful abdominal pains and felt sick to my stomach! I am just going to throw them away … Not going to risk ruining another afternoon feeling this badly! Surprised that an OTC vitamin like this would cause such serious side effects."

"I was taking this for macular degeneration. I take it with meals and get nausea and bloating. I take it without food, and I get the same. I take other meds, and I separated the pill taking, still nausea. Where do I go to take these supplements for a serious illness? Ask the doctor for an anti-nausea medication that I would have to take twice a day?"

"I like taking these vitamins. I just can't remember to take the pills every day like if I was taking birth control pills. I haven't had any side effects at all. I take the pills with food just like it's stated on the bottle, and I drink water to wash it down."
