By Max Brazell


Aging is something that can happen to anyone. This is the time when the body will start to degenerate from your skin down to your different organ systems. One of the organs that will be deeply affected is the eyes. It is common for the elderly to suffer from certain eye problems. For this reason, studies like the AREDS II were done in order to do something about this.

AREDS II is the shortened version of Age Related Disease Study 2. It was done as a follow up to a similar study that was done a few years ago. This study aims to uncover the effectiveness of using different vitamin supplements in order to stop or to slow down the degeneration of ones vision.

One of the main objective of the study is to find a way to treat or to slow down AMD. AMD is short for age-related macular degeneration. In this condition, the macula would would start to degenerate as a person will grow older. It is one of the leading causes of vision loss among people who are 65 years old and older.

This study can also be used to deal with other kinds of eye problems. One these problems would be cataract. When you have cataract, your vision would be obstructed because of the process of cloudy substance on your lens.

In this study, researchers are focused on determining how certain vision vitamins can affect those who are prone to develop AMD or old people who already have a vision problem. They study the effects that doses of vitamins E and C can have on these people. They also use lutein, beta carotene, zeaxanthin, Omega 3, copper, and zinc.

The nutrients mentioned above can be found in numerous plants and in some animals. For example, fish is a good source of Omega 3. Beta carotene can be found in bright fruits and vegetables like carrots. Lutein and zeaxanthin can usually be found in plants such as the spinach.

By doing the study, scientists can get more knowledge as to how use the substances can be used. This allows them to make different eye supplements that can be used by many people. The supplements make it easier for people to the right amount of vision vitamins they need.

AREDS II offers so many benefits to many people. Its result can greatly benefit anyone who is his senior years. It is a great help for people who are still yet to experience the effects that aging can bring to them.
