The AREDS trials studied people who \u003cstrong\u003ealready had intermediate or advanced age-related macular degeneration\u003c\/strong\u003e, and found a reduction in the rate of progression — not prevention in healthy eyes, and not reversal of damage already done. The licensed claim reflects that: it helps \u003cem\u003edelay the progression\u003c\/em\u003e of AMD.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe omega-3 brings a \u003cstrong\u003esecond licensed claim\u003c\/strong\u003e the other Vitalux products lack: it is formulated to relieve dry eye symptoms and increase tear secretion. That makes it the one to choose where dry eye and AMD occur together, which they often do.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dry eye effect works through the meibomian glands and the lipid layer of the tear film rather than by adding water. That is a slow mechanism, which is why \u003cstrong\u003ethe label asks for a minimum of one month\u003c\/strong\u003e before judging it. Anyone expecting relief in a few days will conclude it does nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePer-softgel amounts are lower than the caplets because the dose is three rather than two — compare daily totals, not per-unit figures.
