Vitamin A
9.5
We analyzed a case involving a 74-year-old man who experienced ongoing blurred vision after cataract surgery. His condition included persistent damage to the corneal epithelium, which raised concerns over the underlying reasons for his visual impairment.
To investigate, we recorded his full-field electroretinograms (ff-ERGs) to assess both scotopic and photopic responses of the retina. We also performed optical coherence tomography (OCT) to visualize changes in his retinal structure. Laboratory tests revealed a critically low level of vitamin A in his blood.
Given these findings, we diagnosed him with vitamin A deficiency (VAD) and initiated treatment with oral vitamin A supplements. Remarkably, after three months, we noted significant improvements: his visual acuity, ff-ERGs, and OCT results returned to normal. This highlighted the potential of vitamin A in managing visual issues related to cataract surgery.
Our findings suggest that vitamin A plays an important role in recovery from eye surgeries, especially for patients like him who experience corneal damage and impaired vision. We believe this case underscores the importance of monitoring vitamin A levels in patients presenting with similar complications.

Just what the doctor ordered! With my cataracts, I came across an article advising the intake of 25,000 i.u. of Vitamin A, not sourced from Beta Carotene. I searched and found this product that meets my needs. Since using it alongside some eye drops, I've noticed improvement, which is all I could ask for.
L Carnosine

We explored the protective effects of l-carnosine on lens proteins when faced with methylglyoxal (MGO), a compound that increases in concentration in the eyes of diabetic patients and is known to contribute to cataract formation. By treating eye lens proteins with MGO while introducing carnosine, we actively sought to determine whether carnosine could mitigate the structural damage that MGO causes.
Our experiments, which included sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and fluorescence assessments, revealed that MGO significantly alters the structure of lens proteins. We observed that this damage leads to the formation of new chromophores, which are indicative of structural changes. However, when carnosine was present, we noted a marked reduction in these protein changes, suggesting a significant protective role for carnosine against MGO-induced damage.
Consequently, our findings propose that carnosine could be a valuable preventive measure against diabetic cataracts in humans, highlighting its potential as a dietary supplement in eye health.

EDOF IOLs enhance postoperative vision
We examined the outcomes of using Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) intraocular lenses (IOLs), specifically the Tecnis Symfony, in patients who had cataract surgery. The study focused on a very mild myopia target range of -0.10 to -0.50 diopters.
Patients enjoyed enhanced near vision while preserving distance vision. Notably, with bilateral EDOF IOLs, 100% achieved distance spectacle independence, and 73% for near vision. Overall, our findings suggest that EDOF IOL implantation offers a safe way to improve vision for a broader range of everyday activities.

I'm 73, and my optometrist claims I've never had a patient who can see through cataracts like I do! I've had them for years and barely notice them, largely due to taking my eye vitamins.
L Taurine

We examined the impact of taurine on cataracts, particularly in a condition resembling age-related nuclear cataract (ARN). In our study, rabbits received a glutathione inhibitor to induce oxidative stress, mimicking cataract formation.
Then, we treated them with taurine. Our findings showed that taurine effectively reversed the negative effects of glutathione depletion by restoring levels of crucial antioxidants and normalizing oxidative markers. This suggests that increasing dietary taurine may play a role in slowing cataract development.

I took it to my father who has a cataract alongside glaucoma. After working the night shift, he noted that his eyes stopped burning, and as a pleasant bonus, this dietary supplement has a calming effect.
Beta Carotene

We explored the impact of nutritional antioxidants on the prevention of cataracts, focusing on various micronutrients such as vitamins A, C, E, and carotenoids. After examining 25 studies involving nearly 300,000 participants, we found that beta carotene showed some protective effects against cataract development, with statistical significance. However, it's important to note that not all antioxidants evaluated, including vitamin E and A, demonstrated significant benefits. More research, particularly interventional studies, is necessary to better understand these relationships.

Excellent product! After using beta-carotene, I found it significantly benefits eye health by preventing vision loss and reducing the risk of cataracts. It also positively influences brain function and skin health. Higher doses are safe and do not lead to hypervitaminosis. I highly recommend it for overall wellness.

Improved protection of our sight with Lutein and zeaxanthin! As a computer user, I've faced itchy and dry eyes, symptoms of visual defects often linked to a lutein deficiency. This pigment is vital for healthy vision and guards against environmental stressors. My partner and I take lutein regularly for 2-3 months with breaks. It’s suitable for all ages, significantly lowering the risk of cataracts and age-related eye conditions. This supplement, containing both lutein and zeaxanthin, enhances visual defence effectively, and I highly recommend it to anyone concerned about eye health.

Magical Lutein! I bought these vitamins for my mother, who had developing cataracts and unclear vision. After using them, she noticed improved clarity and could focus better. While eyesight naturally declines with age, maintaining with these vitamins is paramount. I highly recommend them to anyone experiencing deteriorating vision over the years.

I have been taking astaxanthin for over a year, and it has benefited me greatly. I had retinal dystrophy, and after prolonged use, I managed to avoid surgery and even restore my retina. My mother also takes it, and with its help, we are able to manage cataracts effectively.
