The findings from a recent study conclude......
..."A need exists for development of therapeutic agents to slow
age-related loss of antioxidant activity in the nucleus of the human
lens to delay the onset of cataract."
Free radicals for the most part cause cataracts and other senile eye
disorders. Oxidative stress is also a contributing factor in the
development of macular degeneration. According to a recent report,
"nutritional intervention to enhance the glutathione antioxidant
capacity may provide an effective way to prevent or treat age-related
macular degeneration." Even glaucoma has been linked with reduced blood
flow and increased levels of damaging free radicals.
Another problem with aging eyes is protein degradation and the
formation of advanced glycation end products. Aged eyes fail to break
down and remove old proteins linked by sugar molecules, which results
in the accumulation of non-functioning protein cross-links. The
resulting accumulation of damaged proteins leads to senile ocular
diseases.
Applying Nutrients Directly to the Eyes:
Degenerative changes in the eye often begin in middle age, resulting
in macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataracts and other forms of
retinopathy in later life. Scientific studies indicate that the topical
application of certain nutrients may help to prevent common senile eye
disorders. In response to these published reports, an eye drop solution
called The Eye Redeemer has been developed that contains specially
designed antioxidants, lubricants and anti-glycating agents.
The Eye Redeemeer contains two lubricants (Carboxymethylcellulose
and glycerin) approved by the FDA for ophthalmic use. These lubricants
provide a synergistic effect in protecting against "dry eyes" and other
forms of eye irritation. Additionally, The Eye Redeemer contains potent
concentrations of the following antioxidants:
L-Carnosine is a naturally occurring antioxidant and anti-glycation
agent has shown remarkable effects that protect the eyes in published
studies. EYES SPECIALIST contains 1% N-Acetyl- L-Carnosine, which acts
as a time-release version of L-Carnosine. This form of carnosine has
access to both the aqueous parts and lipid compartments of the eye.
After entering the lipid compartments of the eye, N-Acetyl-L-Carnosine
degrades to L-Carnosine, thus protecting the lipid tissues of the eye
from light damage.
A recent study showed that carnosine helped to prevent light-induced
DNA strand breaks. Furthermore, carnosine application to the eye
allowed significant repair of all DNA strands examined. In Russia,
carnosine eye drops are approved for corneal erosion, trophic
keratitis, postherpetic epitheliopathy, primary and secondary corneal
dystrophy, and bullous keratopathy.
The Eye Redeemer also contains the important antioxidants Vitamin A
and Vitamin E. Many references show the importance of these vitamins in
helping the aging eye. Vitamin A is essential for the health and
function of epithelial cells. Topically applied Vitamin A has corrected
many eye disorders and contact lens related problems with epithelial
cells in the cornea, conjunctiva, and eyelids. A deficiency of Vitamin
A in the eye can cause an abnormal tear film, leading to severe dry
eyes and more discomfort for contact lens wearers. Vitamin E is a
powerful antioxidant and when used topically in the eye it can increase
the survival time of corneal endothelial cells, decrease inflammation,
speed up healing of eye tissues, regenerate glutathione in the eye, and
even prevents cataracts in some animal studies.
A Very Advanced Eye Formula:
The Eye Redeemer offers protection above and beyond any other eye formula on the market.
The
suggested use of The Eye Redeemer is to apply 1-2 drops in each eye
every day. Those with any kind of eye problem may want to apply 1-2
drops several times a day.
The 2 ml re-sealable tubes allow for a small amount of product to be
exposed to oxygen and bacteria at a time. The unopened tubes can be
stored in the dark in the refrigerator to extend shelf life.
