Areds2 problems ?

I just recently had some excessive bruising and bleeding issues from steroid shots in my eyes during cataract surgery and also at my regular tooth cleaning appointment. Both dentist and eye surgeon wanted me to follow up testing to see what the issue might be. I just completed extensive blood/platelet testing and all was normal. This leaves highly suspect the two AREDS2 vitamins I was taking prior to these issues. Suspect high vitamin E. I have discontinued AREDS2.

I still have no bleed issues since I stopped taking AREDS2. In my case I believe it is the Vitamin E component of AREDS2. I do take Lutein (6mg) daily with no noticeable effects; good or bad.
