VisiVite.com, makers of multivitamins to improve ocular health, points to new report linking high
intake of fatty acids associated with 38% reduction in AMD risk; groundbreaking VisiVite Eye
Supplement Formula created with omega-3 intake in mind.
( PRWEB ) June 27, 2008 -- VisiVite.com, maker of a full range of multivitamins to improve
ocular health, points to a new report in the June issue of Archives of Ophthamology, which says
that a diet rich in Omega-3 fatty acids -- closely associated with fish such as tuna, salmon, trout
and sardines -- can increase the prevention of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The
findings come as the result of a meta-analysis of studies that concludes that there may be a
lower risk of developing AMD due to Omega-3 consumption.

University of Melbourne, Melbourne; Singapore Eye Research Institute; Yong Loo Lin School of
Medicine, National University of Singapore; Cancer Epidemiology Center, Cancer Council of
Victoria
