Do these help?? Ocular nutrition is one popular brand that claims to have helped people with glaucoma and macular degeneration. Has anyone tried any of these vitamin formulas designed to improve eye health?? The ads on the Paul Harvey show have people saying how they greatly improved their vision just by taking " Ocular nutrition" and they offer a 1-800 number for you to call and order.

Let me know if you ever see or hear an ad where the advertiser says his product DOESN’T work. I would be highly skeptical of any such claim.  Let doctors provide health care and ignore all the crap you see, hear, and read on TV, radio, and newspapers. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text ->The ads on the Paul Harvey show have people >saying how they greatly improved their vision just by taking " Ocular >nutrition"

I suspect it’s hard to really know if and how much they help without controlled experiments that test all the substances both alone and in combination.  That said, I believe that certain supplements do benefit different parts of the body; after all, we are what we eat, aren’t we? (I prefer to go the natural route whenever I can, and it has served me surprisingly well in the past with none ofthe side-effect & toxicity problems of pharmaceuticals).  Someone gave me the following website to read more about Glaucoma and natural treatments; I found it very informative and wrote down the supplements they recommend to discuss with my GS at my appointment next week.. http://www.lef.org/protocols/prtcl-053.shtml On Thu, 09 Jan 2003 12:20:17 GMT, "Helen Kolln" <hkoll…@attbi.com> wrote: >I heard that yesterday too…was wondering the same thing!

Hi Mark: Except for Lutein, I’m confused at to which nutrients these vitamin formulas agree on. Here’s a comparison chart: http://eyecare.freeyellow.com/compare.html Some time ago, I asked Dr. Robert Ritch about Lipoic acid which I understood then to be a primary ingredient. He answered, "it might be of some benefit. No proof yet." All the formulas I’ve come across have a wide range of ingredients including many one would get in a standard multivitamin. Makes me suspicious. Regards, Ray Bonar – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -"mark robey" <mro…@gatewayone.com> wrote: >Do these help??

Hi Mark -maybe the med that my Opthamalogis told me to buy fits this discription -It’s called I -Caps -over the counter -Has heavy duty vit A ? I cant say if it has helped for sure -do know my IOP has been stable -however I will see the DR. In Feb after an 8 MO interval between appts -I have complained that this time span between appts is too long ?
