arthritis little stories - Cataracts removed without surgery

There are eye drops that can eliminate cataracts

While in China, I got a scratch during a foot reflexology session. As it was just a small scratch near the ankle, I thought nothing of it, but I wished I had attended to the scratch then; for what was a scratch turned into an ulcerative wound.

Back in Singapore, on the advice of the rheumatologist, I checked into the hospital for an intravenous antibiotic drip. While in the hospital,the doctors also suggested a short low dosage course of steroids for my rheumatoid arthritis. It was this course of steroid that was to cause the cataract formation with the clouding of the lens appearing at around the center of the eyes. The opthamalogist (eye doctor) then gave an appointment to come back in six months time when the the cataract 'ripens'.

Meantime the the lens in my eye became more and more opaque to the point that I could not read or to see properly when outside in broad daylight. This limited me to staying indoors during the day and move around outside after sunset.

I mentioned my cataract problem during one of those long phone conversations to my sister staying in the U.K. My sister told me that the recent headlines in the U.K. tabloids seemed to indicate that there are eyedrops that literally dissolve away cataracts. She then went to buy the eye-drops and together with the tabloid clippings, posted them to me.


Well, did the eyedrops work ?

Yes, it did.

As you use the eyedrops, you can literally see the cataract melting away and the lens in the eyes becoming less and less cloudy. Perhaps in my case, I caught the cataract at an early stage but I am sure glad that I did not have to go through surgery to remove the cataracts.

The eyedrops is known as NAC or N Acetyl Carnosine.
The eyedrops that I tried was from ETHOS.

This is my experience with the NAC eyedrops
If you should like to use the NAC eyedrops or any other eyedrops, I would suggest you consult your doctor first.
