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:
Age-Related Eye Disease Studies (AREDS/AREDS2)

Many 'thanks' for this! Although the 'Study' portion was slight, I am now rethinking that the benefits MAY out-way the ill side effects. I am still in a quandry whether the trade-off of side effects of pill is worth it: dizziness/balance; stomach upset, etc. However, am more aware of symptoms to expect and how to converse with Optometrists. No one explained the stages of progression , etc. Thank you, again!
