Any scientific evidence for using any over the counter ARMD?

Thanks for all the info.

One further question. Most of the recommendations seem to be for people who are at risk for ARMD or early stages. What about general precaution protection use? In other words let's say you don't have it and don't have a family history but just to be on safe side want to take these types of medications - prevention. Are they going to reduce your chances of getting AMRD and what could be the possible bad side effects of taking them in this situation as for prevention only? Just out of pocket for no real gain or something more than being out of pocket? Thanks in advance for further responses.

As I’ve said in several other posts, I don’t believe AREDS has any effect on AMD at all. And I’ve read that AREDS has no benefit for someone who doesn’t already have AMD. I don’t think that’s a claim they make anyway. It’s expensive to be taking when there is no reason to. Eating a healthy diet that includes all the nutrients and vitamins that our bodies/eyes need is the best preventative.
