I used Nu-Eyes and was able to see better for about one year. But my cataract has gotten worse and I now need surgery. It's very disappointing. Has anyone had this issue?

Nu-eyes was recommended by my opthamologist 3 years ago to stop the progress of cataracts in both eyes. I used it twice a day for about 18 months and my vision has improved so much I only use them once a day to keep the cataracts from coming back. I would definitely recommend them.

I think these positive result ads for n-acetylcarnosine eye drops for cataracts is a scam. When you use eye drops, they land on the cornea of the eye. The cataract is on the lens of the eye which is behind the cornea and fluid sac. There is no way that the drops can penetrate the cornea to get to the lens where the cataract is.

The case for using Nu-eyes over surgery, assuming that your cataract is in the first half of it's development, is to my mind overwhelming. Personally I have gotten rid of both my cataracts using the product so I am naturally delighted. Surgery on the other hand does carry risks as Jantoo points out (about 2% failure rate I believe) which as operations go is very low. However who wants to be one of the 2% ? What the surgeons do not tell you though is that a frightening 45% to 55% have to have further surgery or laser treatment within 2 years of a cataract operation, more risk, more cost. The product, I understand, merely replaces the natural anti-oxidant that normally protects the youthful and healthy eye that goes missing with old age and health issues. Added to all this the cost is a fraction of surgery so is this not a "no brainer" ? I now have no trouble driving at night and the colors have regained their vibrancy again. (03/08/2007)

I googled honey and cataracts this morning, and found that in fact honey has been used for thousands of years for cataracts. And in fact you can find honey eye drops on the web. There apparently is some serious medical research for a non-surgical cataract cure going on, but I have not found it yet. A Dr. Williams recommends glutathione, n-acetylcysteine, alpha lipoic acid, and vitamins C, A and E, of course, as anti-oxidants. (05/21/2007)

I have taken Nu-Eyes (N-acetylcarnosine drops) for seven months and, subjectively, have seen no improvement whatever. It seems that is is not effective. My eyes are diagnosed with early cataracts by two ophthalmologists. One gives me double vision, the other makes things blurry and foggy. I was so hopeful that I gave Nu-Eyes (Bionational) a shot.

I have used Nu-Eyes. I was told by my eye doctor I had a cataract forming and would probably have to have surgery in 5 years. I tried Nu-Eyes, and noticed over time the clarity of my vision returned. Then I didnt use it for about 6-9 months and my vision started clouding up again. So last few months I started using it again, and once again regained a lot of visual clarity.

About 5 years ago my two cataracts got so bad, I had one removed. The doctor at the Eye Center Of Northern Colorado botched it, needed a second surgery by specialist in Denver. So I delayed the second cataract. It became completely opaque. Three years ago I started Can-C then Nu-Eyes, one drop before falling asleep. I also stopped all sugar. Results were slow but obvious in the one eye: from nothing to reading 350 font. Maybe in another 3 years the eye will be functional. (07/04/2007)

I got results in just 4 months. My vision got better by 2 points in one eye and the cataract was smaller. In the other eye, it hadn't grown. I'll be on this stuff forever. (09/29/2007)

It was removed by the FDA off the shelves due to it's ineffectiveness. No documented studies shows any improvement of cataracts at all. In fact, studies suggested the eye drops affected the pH of the eye in a negative fashion. (That's about all it did). (07/03/2008)

I had visited my eye doctor and was informed that I had cataracts. I am 71 and was thinking about surgery. My eye doctor introduced to Nu-Eyes and told me that several of his patients has used it and had success. So I started with program in February of 2008 and continued until October. I went back for a checkup and was told that my cataracts were gone. Night driving is not a problem anymore. (11/22/2008)
