Retina Clear vs. AREDS2: What's Different

AREDS2 is a specific, clinically studied eye-health formula. Retina Clear overlaps with it on paper but differs in two important ways.

Where they overlap

Both include vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, and copper at broadly similar levels.

Where they differ

AREDS2 lists lutein (10mg) and zeaxanthin (2mg) as individually dosed ingredients. Retina Clear includes both, but inside an undosed 351mg blend alongside 12 other botanicals, so you can't see the actual amount of either one. AREDS2 also dropped beta-carotene in 2013; Retina Clear still includes it.

Bottom line

Retina Clear is not the AREDS2 formula and hasn't been clinically tested as a complete product the way AREDS2 was. See our ingredient hub for the full breakdown.
