Yes it does.  Take something that has the EXACT AREDS 2 formula. there are many knock-offs and some don't have all the tested ingredients. The one that was used in the AREDS 2 study was Preservision 2 by Bausch & Lomb.  ALSO FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS:   The original AREDS 2 study was done with 2 pills/day PLUS A MULTIVITAMIN.   AREDS 2 study showed it slowed 'dry' (non-exudative) ARMD by about 30% and may reduce the risk of 'wet' ARMD developing.
