AOR AOR - Vision Support II, 60 sgels
AOR Vision Support II - A combination of the most advanced nutraceuticals clinically demonstrated to preserve eye health by inhibiting the effects of Advanced Macular Degeneration (AMD), Asthenopia (eye fatigue), and glycation. Vision Support ll is primarily designed to protect against age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and can also protect against the development of cataracts. Ultraviolet light and blue light contribute to damage in the lens and macula, and lutein and zeaxanthin are pigments found in the eye whose main function is the filtration of UV light. Benfotiamine is a highly bioavailable form of vitamin B1, and studies have shown that it helps prevent the formation of AGEs (advanced glycation end-products) which are damaged proteins that accumulate in the lens and can result in cataracts. The effectiveness of AOR Vision Support II can be maximized with a complete, high-quality multivitamin/mineral formulation.

Why people keep reordering it
Best suited to: someone in their 40s or older watching macular health, people who spend long hours on screens, someone already managing blood sugar and worried about lens changes.
What the research supports
Two softgels a day give you 15 mg lutein and 15 mg zeaxanthin, the pigments that build up in the retina. The 60-count bottle lasts a month.
Eye-health trials often use 10 mg lutein and 2 mg zeaxanthin a day.
- Macular pigment (evidence: strong, from rct, meta-analysis)
- Lutein and zeaxanthin build up in the retina and filter blue light before it reaches light-sensing cells. Large human trials link higher levels there to healthier vision as eyes age.
- Eye strain (evidence: moderate, from rct)
- Astaxanthin is an antioxidant that has eased eye strain and improved focusing speed in small human trials, generally at 4 to 12 mg a day, right where this softgel's 4 mg daily total sits.
- Lens protein stiffening (evidence: limited, from animal study, mechanistic)
- Benfotiamine is a fat-soluble form of B1 that can blunt the buildup of compounds that stiffen lens proteins over time. Human eye-specific data at this 160 mg dose is still thin.

Is it right for you
Worth it if
- Someone in their 40s or older watching macular health
- The 15 mg combined lutein and zeaxanthin dose matches or exceeds the amounts used in trials looking at macular pigment density.
- People who spend long hours on screens
- Astaxanthin and the lutein/zeaxanthin pair are both studied for reducing visual strain from blue light exposure.
- Someone already managing blood sugar and worried about lens changes
- Benfotiamine is included specifically to slow the buildup of glycation end-products implicated in cataract formation, though at a supporting dose here.
Look elsewhere if
- Someone wanting a clinical benfotiamine dose for nerve or glycation support
- Look for a standalone benfotiamine product delivering 300 mg or more per dose rather than relying on the 160 mg here.
- Anyone with a soy or corn allergy
- The black soybean hull extract and corn oil base rule this out, so a lutein/zeaxanthin formula without those bases would be the safer pick.
- Someone who already has diagnosed eye disease needing active management
- This is a maintenance formula, so ongoing eye care from an optometrist or ophthalmologist stays the priority.
What to expect
There is nothing to feel day to day since macular pigment and glycation changes happen at a tissue level over months, not hours. Most people taking this consistently would look for effects over three to six months, ideally alongside an eye exam that can track macular pigment density.
How it compares
- Compared with a basic lutein and zeaxanthin softgel
- This formula adds benfotiamine and astaxanthin, targeting glycation and oxidative eye fatigue on top of the pigment support a plain lutein product offers. The tradeoff: You pay more per bottle for ingredients that, at the benfotiamine dose included, act as a smaller supporting piece rather than a full clinical dose.
- Compared with AREDS2-style eye formulas that also include zinc, vitamin C and vitamin E
- This product concentrates on lutein, zeaxanthin, benfotiamine, astaxanthin and anthocyanins rather than the broader AREDS2 mineral and vitamin mix. The tradeoff: If you want the specific AREDS2 combination studied for AMD progression, you would need to add those extra vitamins and zinc separately.
