VISION VITAMINS, INC.’s founder, Richard J. Shuldiner, O.D., F.A.A.O., a Low Vision Optometrist, has committed his life to keeping those with Macular Degeneration as independent and fully functional as possible through the use of special low vision glasses and macula-specific nutritional supplements.
Dr. Shuldiner has closely followed the growing body of research which suggests a strong need for dietary supplements to keep the macula functioning. Those studies, The Age Related Eye Disease Study of 2001(AREDS I), The Lutein Antioxidant Study of 2004 (LAST), and others have shown that a specific group of nutritional supplements can significantly reduce vision loss.
To aide his patients in selecting the proper product, Dr. Shuldiner began researching the vitamin supplements available to the general public in pharmacies, grocery & vitamin stores and mass retailers. His frustration in not being able to find even one product worthy of his recommendation resulted in Vision Vitamins, Inc.
In 2005, Dr. Shuldiner, O.D., F.A.A.O., in association with an expert in the field of eye specific nutritional medicine, formulated Macula Therapy Formula™. It is a comprehensive, all-in-one formulation with the correct mix of eye-specific ingredients to provide powerful support for vision and retinal health.
In keeping with VISION VITAMINS, INC.’s commitment to excellence, the formula for Macula Therapy Formula™ changes to reflect the most current scientific research in the field. By maintaining our modest-sized operation in our state-of-the-art, FDA approved facility in the U.S., we are able to make changes to best suit the needs of our customers.
