Comment:
I have early signs of AMD. Drusen were expanding closer to my macula. My eye doctor recommended a supplement with lutein and zeaxanthin. I had follow up appointments every 3 months for a year without any increase in the size or number of drusen.

Comment:
Lutein with Optilut appears to have exacerbated my lymphocytic colitis (I notice another reviewer found this too). The Brand is Doctor's Best - which I do not find on your list.

Made eyes itch and general grittiness. I then discovered Lutein is derived from Marigold flower petals. I am very allergic to flowers in general. So I now know I can not use this product and also some multi vitamins!

Comment:
EyePromise was suggested by my eye doctor for low pigment but it causes strong heart palpitations. It took me a while to figure out what was causing it but as soon as I quit the supplement the palpitations quit.

Comment:
I take 1 5mg PreserVision for the beginning evidence of left eye dry AMD. It also contains 1 mg of Zeaxanthin. I notice an increasing left neck muscle soreness when I take this. Is there any connection?
