Product Description
Product Description
Author Marios Kyriazis brings a wealth of medical expertise to one of the most important breakthroughs in recent times to help combat a disease called "senile cataract", which affects one in five people over the age of fifty-five. In the past, the only treatment available for this chronic condition was painful and potentially dangerous surgery to remove the cataract. Other treatments are now available, specifically, the new Russian breakthrough N-acetylcarnosine. In clinical trials, this treatment has shown dramatic and impressive results in treating age-related cataracts. The Cataract Cure also covers other associated eye disorders including:
- Glaucoma
- Macular Degeneration
- Infection of the cornea
- Dry eye syndrome
- Computer vision syndrome
- Eyestrain
- Blurred vision

Where can one find people talking about CAN-C's efficacy?
22 Dec 2008
Format:Paperback
I've been taking "Bright Eyes" (version highlighted in a UK TV show) for four months, and although my night and day glare problem has drastically reduced, I'm seeing no improvement yet in terms of visual echoes with my cataract -- in fact, it appears to me to have worsened.
I've been trying to find internet sites where people are sharing experiences with this some six year old eye/cataract therapy, but I can't find any! On the other hand, I can find ophthalmic surgeons calling it "snake oil" and I can find lists of quotes puportedly from people thrilled by the treatment -- unfortunately, lists of quotes are easy to manufacture.
My one and only communication with a tangible person who had been taking the drops culminated in learning that after eight months of the drops, his ophthalmic surgeon informed him the cataract had grown, and he was resultantly scheduled for cataract surgery for mid this December. (From what I've read of research into the efficacy of these drops, at the very least, cataract growth is halted, and in the preponderance of cases, it reverses.)
I've thus far spent about $450 on drops and I'm having increasing difficulty believing it's more than smoke and mirrors. In this age of the internet, where pretty much anything and everything is discussed online, where can I find people discussing their personal successes and/or dissapointments with this treatment (treatment of people, that is, not pets)? Where can I find anything that isn't in effect -- advertising?
The words of Doctors and researchers (both of whom could potentially benefit from product sales) are nowhere near as compelling as those of patients, and I don't mean quotes! (Efficacy results from recognized research teams would also be helpful, but I understand nothing of that sort has been reported.)

Good information
10 Oct 2005
Format:Paperback
There is much to be learnt in this book, and I believe the reviewer (above) missed the very question about how long to use the eye-drops. It is answered in chapter 5, page 27 and the answer is 1 or 2 drops twice daily for 3 to 5 months, and then regularly at a lower dose long-term. This I presume means life, after all, as is explained, one can't expect a condition such as senile cataract, which is caused by declining anti-oxidants and increasing glycosylation (cross-linking) to improve with age. Therefore it is necessary to "top-up" and use these kinds of preventative measures to ensure that the cataract does not reappear, for as we age its condition is accerlerated. I for one am very pleased that there is now an option such as eye-drops for this condition, and Dr. Kyriazis does explain all the ins-and-outs of quality assurance etc. I would have liked more detail, but there is still lots of good information contained within.

Eye drops for cataract
4 July 2005
Format:Paperback
Dr. Kyriazis is a respected research physician in the UK and he has looked in detail at recent Russian research and interviewed the people behind clinical studies (that have been published in some medical journals), on the subject of a natural antioxidant- called N-acetylcarnosine (or Can-C). He presents it simply in "The Cataract Cure" so that everyone can understand. Can-C eye-drops have been found to slow and even resverse various forms of cataract and it represents a real breakthrough for this common problem. Dr. Kyriazis points out the pros and cons (apparently formula and purity are very important to obtain the original proven safety and efficacy), plus he also high-lights other natural substances that can assist in various age related eye disorders like gluacoma etc. I for one, will be looking to take advantage of this information to hopefully prevent the need for cataract surgery.
