Bausch + Lomb Introduces Enhanced PreserVision AREDS 2 Formula Mini Soft Gels with OCUSorb

Bausch + Lomb announced the US introduction of PreserVision AREDS 2 Formula mini soft gels with OCUSorb. This product is the only AREDS 2 eye vitamin with the OCUSorb formulation. Offering a proprietary composition of lutein and zeaxanthin, Bausch + Lomb said OCUSorb has been clinically shown to provide superior absorption of these nutrients into the body as compared to the original PreserVision AREDS 2 mini soft gel formula.†[1]. 

PreserVision AREDS 2 Formula eye vitamins, including the new OCUSorb formula, contain the exact nutrient formula recommended by the National Eye Institute (NEI). This exact formula includes certain amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin, which are two important antioxidants that have been clinically shown through decades of research to help reduce the risk of AMD progression. In 2022, the NEI’s AREDS2 10-Year Follow-on Study further confirmed the benefits of lutein and zeaxanthin in the AREDS 2 formula.[2] 

PreserVision AREDS 2 Formula mini soft gels with OCUSorb are now available at most major retailers nationwide in the vitamin aisle or online and will replace the current PreserVision AREDS 2 Formula mini gel formula. For more information on PreserVision eye vitamins, visit www.preservision.com.
