Vitamins can be a worthwhile option if you do not maintain a healthy lifestyle, incorporate a diet of fruits, dark leafy greens, and mixed vegetables, etc. There is no "magic bullet" for good vision, but rather ways to preserve your vision. Doing things like limiting alcohol, not smoking, and avoiding eating excessively fatty and greasy foods can contribute to illnesses like diabetes and hypertension. Those common problems which I see in the clinic all the time make a difference in your vision. Long story short, a healthy lifestyle helps much more significantly than vitamins alone.
Absolutely yes. AREDS vitamins.
