EyePromise

About EyePromise

Zeaxanthin is the thread running through EyePromise. The brand builds its formulas around that carotenoid, describes its work as science led, and the range is a familiar one in optometry offices as well as online. Seven EyePromise supplements are stocked here, covering macular support, general eye nutrition and dry eye.

The range

• Restore and Macular Health Complete, AREDS2 based formulas aimed at aging eyes.
• Macular Health zinc free, the same territory with omega 3s and vitamin D and no zinc.
• Zeaxanthin + Lutein, 60 softgels, if the two carotenoids are all you are after.
• DVS, a retinal support formula with zeaxanthin.
• EZ Tears, formulated with omega 3s, turmeric and green tea extract, grouped with our dry eye supplements.
• Vizual Edge, a chewable tablet, 30 to a bottle.

How to choose

Work backward from what you have been asked to look for. If macular support is the reason you are here, the choice usually comes down to the full AREDS2 based formulas versus the zinc free version, and zinc is the deciding factor. If you already take a multivitamin, the standalone Zeaxanthin + Lutein avoids doubling up on everything else in the bottle.

EZ Tears is the odd one out. It is grouped with dry eye rather than macular support and its ingredient list reflects that, so it is not a swap for the others.

Vizual Edge is the option for anyone who does not get on with softgels, since it is chewed rather than swallowed.

Worth knowing

These formulas overlap with each other and with ordinary multivitamins, so read two labels side by side before stacking them. Bring the label to your eye care professional if you are not sure which one suits you.
