Preserving, enhancing and restoring sight has been Alcon’s mission for over 60 years. Alcon makes the largest corporate investment in eye care research and development, with plans to invest more than three billion dollars over the next five years. One of the newest products resulting from this commitment to research and development is ICAPS® AREDS Softgels.

ICAPS ® AREDS Softgels are an easy to swallow two a day version of Alcon’s traditional AREDS tablet formulation. The AREDS combination of vitamins and minerals, which is preferred most by retinal specialists, was studied in the National Eye Institute Age Related Eye Disease Study and found to be beneficial for patients at high risk of progression of age-related macular changes. The ICAPS ® Softgels are an addition to a family of eye vitamins including both a multivitamin formula as well as a lutein and xeaxanthin formula.
