No. Please don't.
Your AREDS-2 formula (PreserVision, Ocuvite, or a generic version) does one job. CoraLume does a different one. AREDS-2 formulas contain lutein, zeaxanthin, zinc, vitamin C, and vitamin E, the ingredients from the National Eye Institute's study. CoraLume contains astaxanthin — an antioxidant those formulas don't include.
Take both. Same morning. Same glass of water.
About 60 days for most buyers. 90 days to be sure.
Nothing dramatic in week 1, that's your body absorbing it. Weeks 2–4 you may notice small things: less eye fatigue at night, less strain from bright lights. By day 60, if it's going to work for you, you'll notice it in one specific scenario, usually night driving, screen fatigue, or reading in low light.
At day 90, you decide. If nothing changed, we refund the whole order.
We offer tracked shipping on all orders.

Fair question.
AREDS-2 is what your ophthalmologist has NIH-backed studies for. That's what they're trained to recommend. Astaxanthin has real research too, including randomized studies on eye fatigue and night vision, but smaller, and mostly newer than the AREDS-2 trials.
Astaxanthin is generally well-tolerated at 12mg. But we're not your doctor.
If you take blood thinners, blood pressure medication, or any prescription drug, ask your prescriber before adding this, the same as you would with any supplement. Bring the bottle to your next appointment.
Take 1 softgel daily with food.
For best results, take consistently as part of your daily routine. Many people prefer taking it alongside a meal that contains healthy fats.
One softgel contains:
- 12 mg natural astaxanthin (from Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae)
- Coconut oil (as the carrier, helps your body absorb the astaxanthin)
- Softgel capsule (bovine gelatin, glycerin, purified water)
That's it. No proprietary blend. No filler ingredients.
"I've been on PreserVision for four years and stopped driving after dark two years ago, never told my daughter why. Added CoraLume in March. Last Sunday I stayed at her place until 8:30 in the rain and drove myself home. She said 'you stayed!' like I'd done something brave. I guess I did."
CoraLume Astaxanthin 12mg — Vision & Eye Support for Adults
What's Really Behind Vision Decline After 60
Every day, unstable molecules called free radicals are damaging the cells in your eyes.
They come from three places you can't avoid:
- Sunlight and screens - UV and blue light generate oxidative stress in your retina every single day
- Aging - your body's natural antioxidant defenses drop sharply after age 50
- Modern diet - depleted soils and processed foods no longer supply the eye-protecting nutrients they used to
This damage hits your retina, macula, and lens, the exact tissues responsible for sharp vision, night driving, and reading in low light.
This is why so many people over 60 experience declining night vision, halos around lights, and eye fatigue by afternoon, even when they've been taking their eye vitamin every single morning for years.
Why your AREDS-2 formula isn't the whole answer
Your body has natural defenders that protect your eye cells from this damage.
But screens, sunlight, aging, and stress burn through those defenders faster than your body can replace them. And the tools most people are given don't fully close the gap:
❌ AREDS-2 formulas were designed decades ago. They contain lutein, zeaxanthin, zinc, vitamin C, and vitamin E, five nutrients proven useful for the macula. But astaxanthin (the fat-soluble antioxidant with the strongest visual-function research done since) wasn't included. And no one has updated the formula to add it.
❌ Most generic eye vitamins are underdosed. The few that contain astaxanthin at all use 4mg, a third of the amount used in the research. Most use it in dry-powder form, where your body barely absorbs any of it.
❌ Diet alone can't reach your retina. Modern soil is depleted. Even fresh salmon, eggs, and dark leafy greens deliver a fraction of the eye-supporting nutrients they did 50 years ago.
What Real Customers Are Saying
What's In Every Softgel And Why
Every ingredient in CoraLume was picked for one job. No fillers. No fluff.
Astaxanthin
The antioxidant your AREDS-2 formula doesn't include. 12mg is the amount used in the research on eye fatigue and night vision, most eye vitamins that even contain astaxanthin use just 4mg.
Haematococcus Pluvialis
The freshwater microalga that natural astaxanthin comes from. Not synthetic (the cheap kind mostly used in salmon feed).
Coconut Oil
The carrier that makes the astaxanthin actually absorb. Astaxanthin is fat-soluble, without oil, most of it passes through you unused. This is why 12mg suspended in oil delivers more than 12mg in a dry powder.
Whats not in it
No lutein. No zeaxanthin. No zinc. No vitamin C. Those are what your AREDS-2 formula is for. CoraLume is the piece it doesn't include. No proprietary blend. No fillers.
Your Journey Ahead
What to expect — week by week
Loading
Nothing dramatic yet. This is your body absorbing the astaxanthin for the first time. If you feel something big in week 1, it's probably not the softgel. That's normal.
What to do: Take one softgel every morning with your AREDS-2. Pick the one eye scenario that bothers you most (night driving, screen fatigue, halos around lights, low-light reading). Write down where you are today on a 1–10 scale.
First subtle signals
Small stuff first. Less eye fatigue at night. Less strain around bright indoor lighting. Reading longer before you feel done. Log anything you notice, even small.
The steady state
By day 45–60, if this is going to work for you, you'll notice it in the specific scenario you picked in week 1. Compare your day-60 note to your day-0 note. Same lighting. Same time of day. Be honest.
Your verdict
Day 90 is decision day. Meaningful change worth the cost? Subtle change worth the cost? No change? All three are valid answers. If it's "no change," email us. We refund the whole order.
Our Formula
One softgel. Three ingredients. No proprietary blend. No powder-in-a-capsule tricks that don't absorb.

Based on our customer reviews
Why we made CoraLume to work with your AREDS-2, not replace it.
If you're taking PreserVision, Ocuvite, or a generic AREDS-2, keep taking it. That formula came out of a decade-long National Eye Institute study, and if your doctor put you on it, it's doing a job.
But here's what most buyers don't realize: AREDS-2 was built around five ingredients, lutein, zeaxanthin, zinc, vitamin C, and vitamin E. Astaxanthin isn't in there. Not because it doesn't work, because the AREDS-2 study started before most of the research on astaxanthin and vision was done.
That leaves you doing everything right and still dealing with what astaxanthin's research has been measuring:
- Night vision and low-light comfort
- Screen fatigue at the end of long days
- Halos and glare around bright lights
- Eye tiredness that hits earlier than it used to
CoraLume isn't your one bottle. It's the piece your AREDS-2 doesn't include. Take it for 90 days alongside what you're already taking. If your eyes tell you nothing changed, we refund the whole order.
