These eyedrops can be effective particularly in early stage cataracts. Interestingly, they can also be very effective in treating cataracts in dogs and cats.<br /><br />2) Eyedrops containing a 1% solution of n-acetyl-carnosine. There are 3 research studies showing that these eyedrops can slow down, halt the progression of and even improve cataracts through their "antiglycating" action. Glycation is the binding of sugar and protein molecules together which is a major factor in cataract development.<br /><br />People with cataracts have also been shown to have significantly reduced amounts of glutathione and vitamin C in the lens of the eye(s) with the cataracts. These super antioxidants are essential to the health of the lens. Glutathione is poorly absorbed directly, so formulas that include the precursors to glutathione are valuable in helping increase glutathione production.<br /><br />For more information on the above and related research studies, go to <a href="http://www.naturaleyecare.com" rel="nofollow">Natural Eye Care for Cataracts</a>Michael Edson, MS, L.Ac.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01036217973033829018noreply@blogger.com
