Customer Reviews of Bausch & Lomb Ocuvite Eye Vitamin & Mineral Supplement, Adult 50+, Soft Gels, 50 ct.
Customer Review: Good but pricey
Summary: 3 Stars
I've been having problems with inflammation in one of my eyes, so along with the prescription eyedrops I've been taking (which, so far, haven't been very effective) I thought it might not be a bad idea to take some vitamins specifically for my eyes.
When I ordered these I was in a little bit of a panic and didn't really read the vitamin contents as closely as I should have (actually, they aren't included in the Amazon product listing, so you have to go to the Bausch & Lomb website for a complete vitamin list for this product.)
After receiving it I realized that every vitamin that's included in this product, with the exception of the lutein and the omega-3, is already in my multivitamin in larger amounts. So basically I paid $27 for 100 softtabs with 6mg of lutein and 150mg of omega-3 in each one. That seemed a little pricey to me so I costed it out:
Buying lutein by itself is much less expensive than this product (under eight bucks for 100 6mg softtabs or about .08 a tab.) A quality omega-3 is about .05 for a 1000mg tab (the B&L vitamin has only 150mg of omega-3 so with the other omega-3 I'm paying less than .01 for the equivalent of 150mg.)
So, by not being a more observant shopper I have inadvertently paid .27 a tab for about .09 cents worth of vitamins. Ouch! I will kick myself for the next 100 days that I pop one of these in my mouth.
I'm sure these are very good vitamins, just a little expensive for what you are getting. If you don't care about price, these are probably a great, convenient option for you. But if you are a frugal soul like me you might want to buy the lutein and omega-3 separately and take them along with your daily multivitamin to the same effect for about a third of the price.
One other thing and this is a just nit-pick, but if you were designing a package for a product intended for people over 50 with eye problems wouldn't you use something a little larger than a 4 point font? I can't even read this bottle with my readers - I had to actually break out a magnifying glass... I just want to thank the 20 year old package designer at B&L for making my day a really special one!
