Okay, vitamins are nothing new. But, empirical data showing that, only in combination, they slow retinal disease and an accompanying formula which is currently available? That is news. I heard the Foundation Fighting Blindness recommended the use of "New Focus" at their L.A. conference. They cite studies in England which support its use. I did some surfing and found one in PubMed from Sweden.
Many have maintained the reason supplementation has been difficult to study under the current scientific framework is because supplements generally work in a synergistic manner, not an isolated one. A "one variable at a time" scientific structure makes it hard to prove nutritional supplementation. It is good to see researchers testing them in combination as well as isolation.
I know nothing about the company below. I have no commercial interest in them. But, this is the formula recommended by the FFB. Before you roll your eyes thinking, "another airy fairy thing that is supposed to work and does not", read the data. Also note this formula was made to replicate the proportions of the elements included in the study.

Data from the Swedish study. The FFB mentioned English studies as well, if you are motivated to do more research and find them.
