At Eye Doctor MD, P.C., Dr. Pradhan believes that protecting your vision starts with supporting your whole-body health. Nutrition plays a major role in maintaining healthy eyes, especially when it comes to conditions like age-related macular degeneration (AMD), dry eye disease, inflammation, long-term retinal health and glaucoma.
That’s why Dr. Pradhan recommends carefully selected supplements backed by science—designed not just for symptom relief, but for long-term prevention and wellness.
Featured Supplement: Macular Focus® Plus Multivitamin
Macular Focus® Plus Multivitamin is a next-generation AREDS 2–based formula created to protect your eyes while supporting your overall health.
It combines the clinically studied antioxidants and carotenoids from the original AREDS 2 research—such as lutein, zeaxanthin, vitamins C and E, and zinc—with a full spectrum multivitamins and B-vitamins in one convenient formula. This helps support retinal health, blue light protection, and visual preservation without needing multiple separate supplements.
This is especially helpful for patients with intermediate or advanced macular degeneration, or for those looking to protect their long-term vision.
Why AREDS 2 Matters
The Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) and AREDS 2 were major clinical trials from the National Eye Institute that showed specific nutritional supplements can help reduce the risk of advanced macular degeneration.
AREDS 2 improved the original formula by replacing beta-carotene with lutein and zeaxanthin, making it safer and more effective—especially for former smokers. This formula remains the gold standard for macular support today.

Why This Matters for Your Eyes
Healthy eyes depend on healthy blood flow, low inflammation, strong antioxidant protection, and proper nutrition. These supplements help support the retina, tear film, optic nerve, and overall visual function—while also benefiting your general health.
Dr. Pradhan believes in treating the root cause, not just the symptoms.
Concepts of Vision Healthspan
You may have heard about lifespan or how long you are going to live. With the field of longevity medicine growing and all of us living longer, you may have heard of healthspan or how long we are going to live healthy. I want to introduce a new concept of “Vision Healthspan,” we focus on maintaining your vision as long as you live. With this goal in mind, following all the lifestyle pillars of health is important including proper nutrition, exercise, restorative sleep, stress management, social connections and no smoking and limiting alcohol. If you’re not sure you are getting a well-balanced diet or that you are absorbing all of the nutrients from your diet, you should consider taking supplements to help maintain overall and eye health.
Important Reminder
These are dietary supplements—not prescription medications. Always consult your doctor before starting any new supplement, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking blood thinners, or managing other medical conditions.
