Wet macular degeneration is not caused by blood vessels leaking. Rather, it is caused by formation of abnormal, fragile blood vessels due to oxidative damage. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant and works against the formation of these “neovascular” vessels. The only reason to avoid Vitamin E is if you are already on another blood thinner, such as Coumadin. If you are, we offer VisiVite i-Defense E-Free Formula.
