Which, if any, new studies show that Areds/Preservision is actually working for majority of persons with AMD? Seems it's hardly worth the side effects if not being studied closely.

AREDS is a study. AREDS stands for Age-Related Eye Disease Study. AREDS was the first major study, and AREDS 2 was the 2nd study.

Bausch & Lomb/Preservision made a supplement based first on the AREDS study, and then on the AREDS 2 study. Other manufacturers have also made supplements based on the AREDS studies.

Here's a link to the studies on NIH:
