Could This Mean an End to Cataract Surgery?
A spokesman for http://www.cataract-clear.ch said "Everyone is extremely pleased with the results of this revolutionary new treatment. It's nice to be able to offer a successful alternative to invasive surgery. The majority of people using Bright Eyes are seeing positive results over a 3-6 month period".
(PRWEB) February 17, 2005 -- Cataract-Clear.ch is providing a revolutionary new treatment for cataracts called "Bright Eyes". The Swiss manufacturers claim "This could be an end to cataract surgery". A spokesman for Cataract-Clear.ch said that 17 million people around the world are blind because of cataracts and 28,000 new cases are reported every day. In the U.K. alone, just one London hospital carries out between 250 and 500 cataract operations every week and, at any one time, 500,000 people are awaiting cataract surgery, or paying out considerable sums for private treatment.
The product Bright Eyes uses a special derivative of the naturally occurring neuropeptide L-Carnosine, called N-Acetyl-Carnosine (NAC), which is a super antioxidant and anti-glycating agent. NAC, when topically applied, can penetrate and protect the lipid tissues of the eye against light damage. It also helps to diminish free radical damage and the harmful effects of glycosylation associated with degenerative eye disease. Professor Steven Charles Gallant, the world renowned biochemist who was originally responsible for introducing Bright Eyes to Europe says; I have been studying the effects of L-Carnosine for many years. It was first discovered back in 1988 that N-Acetyl-Carnosine had positive effects on cataracts. My father had cataracts and did not relish going under the knife so I tried to get some for him but unfortunately, at the time, it wasnt easily obtainable. My father had to have the operation, which thankfully was successful. But that got me to thinking how great it would be if we were to develop, and make readily available, a product whereby this condition could be addressed with a simple course of eye drops as opposed to surgery. After many years research, development and trials of Bright Eyes, many people are now enjoying much-improved vision due to this exciting medical breakthrough."
