II have very early stage macular degeneration and my eye doctor has recommended this vitamin. Only time will tell if this treatment is effective. I very much trust my physician and this eye condition is very serious. This vitamin is quite expensive and I find the price at drugstore.com is the best I have found. Very happy with all.

This formula closely follows the ARED, formula shown to help slow down macular defeneration, however, it does not contain vitamin A which was included in the study formulation. Vitamin A is proving impossible to find on its' own. This will do until a product which follows the study formulation eactly is found. Beware that some poducts have the correct ingredients but in very low doses.
Comments about ICaps by Alcon, Lutein Enriched Multivitamin, Coated Tablets, 100 ea:
Just had my checkup and all is working out well. I will continue taking the I-Caps. Two in the morning with food, two at night with food. Simple, easy and doing what they are prescribed to do.
Comments about ICaps by Alcon, Lutein Enriched Multivitamin, Coated Tablets, 100 ea:
These are easy to take and seems to work for me. The only drawback is having to take 2 two times a day. I only take two in the morning and I think it helps my vision.
Comments about ICaps by Alcon, Lutein Enriched Multivitamin, Coated Tablets, 100 ea:
I was diagnosed with Macular Degeneration. My eye doctor recommended I take these. While nothing cures Macular Degeneration the ingredients in these have been found to slow down the disease. I take two in the morning and two at night faithfully. My check up actually showed healthier retinas. The Dr. was impressed, guess I needed vitamins.

Comments about ICaps by Alcon, Lutein Enriched Multivitamin, Coated Tablets, 100 ea:
This product contains NO Vitamin A or Beta carotene, which can be more harmful to smokers. This product has been tested and proven to help reduce the progression of Macular Degeneration, which is why our opthamologist ordered my husband to take it! Drugstore.com is the only place I trust to have this particular product all the time. I had problems finding the ICAPS MV in our local pharmacies!
Comments about ICaps by Alcon, Lutein Enriched Multivitamin, Coated Tablets, 100 ea:
At 61 years old, I have tried a lot of vitamins....most make me sick to my stomach. But, I picked up my first sample at the eye doctor's office and now, this brand is the only multi-vitamin I will buy. I highly recommend this brand. I take two a day and will continue to do so.
Suggested adult intake: Two tablets twice per day with a meal or as directed by your physician. Keep tightly closed in a dry place at controlled room temperature.
