The MaxiVision item we carry is a combination product, and that is the whole point of it. Rather than an eye formula in one bottle and a daily multivitamin in another, both live in a single regimen.
MaxiVision Eye and Body Formula AREDS + Multivitamin, a 270 count bottle sized as a three month supply. It sits in our multivitamins category alongside the other general formulas we stock.
AREDS is shorthand for a particular combination of vitamins and minerals named after the Age Related Eye Disease Study. When a supplement describes itself as an AREDS formula, it is telling you which ingredient pattern it follows, not making a promise about your eyes. Whether that pattern has any place in your own routine is a question for your eye doctor, who knows your history and what else you take.
Two things usually decide it. The first is whether you already take a daily multivitamin. If you do, a combination product means one bottle instead of two and no accidental doubling up of the same nutrients. If you do not, and you only want the eye specific ingredients, a standalone formula from our AREDS and macular support range is the cleaner fit.
The second is supply length. A 270 count bottle covers roughly three months, which reduces how often you reorder and usually lowers the cost per day compared with a 30 or 60 count.
Supplements interact with medication and with each other. Bring the label, or a photo of it, to your next appointment before adding anything new.
