Posting this questions for the Doctors:
I found 2 vitamins that looks good on GNC. I wanted to know if you recommend them and which would be better. In addition, how oftern should one take them:
1) Ocular Formula by GNC Preventative Nutrition, climically studied, $25 for 60 tablets:
May help maintain eyesight.
Focuses on Vitamin A, bilberry fruit extract and lutein for dietary support for eye health.*

2) Ocuguard Plus by Twin Labs; $25 for 60 tablets
Now with Lutein, Zeaxanthin & Vitamin D3
Advanced Vitamin & Antioxidant Supplement for the Eyes
OcuGuard® Plus with Lutein, Zeaxanthin and Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is an advanced vitamin and antioxidant nutritional supplement specifically formulated to support healthy vision and promote vision clarity.*
Each easy-to-swallow capsule provides a special combination of micronutrients the eyes may require, including Lutein, Zeaxanthin and beta-carotene, which are potent antioxidant carotenoids. Lutein is the most abundant carotenoid in fruits and vegetables, and is found to be highly concentrated in the macula of the eye. Combining Lutein and Zeaxanthin carotenoids with Vitamin D3 provides dual-action macular support for healthy eyes and vision clarity.* Other nutrients included in this synergistic formula are zinc from zinc picolinate (a chelated form of zinc that is easy for the body to absorb and use), natural Vitamin E, Vitamin C, selenium, and much more.

I cut and paste the exact information that is on the website for each vitamin. If you do not agree that one should take the above, what would you recomment instead and how often?
Thanks so much in advance for your response and recommendation. Anything to help us who have had an RD will be much appreciated.
