Taste loss: This is a rare, but reported, side effect of ocuvite. I have not personally encounted it in patients, but ironically, zinc (present in ocuvite) has been used to increase the sense of taste. You could discuss this with your treating eye doctor, and consider discontinuing the supplement to see if the taste recovers, as there may be other causes of taste loss as well.

Zinc can cause this: In some rare people the increase dose of zinc can alter the taste or even lead to a metallic taste that alters everything. Check with your ophthalmologist. Sometimes taking certain of the other known positive supplements individually can still be effective.
