Brite Eyes (Lef.org) and CAN-C are well known cataract eyedrops for those whose vision is just beginning to get blurry. Mnay people have seen improvement and reversal of their cataracts if they act early enough.

If the cataracts are advanced, it’s probably too late. In Chinese medicine you prevent or reverse early cataract formation by cleansing the liver and eliminating “liver fire” or liver toxins that travel to the eyes and contribute to the formation. By the time you have cataracts, this approach is almost too late.

As to floaters, other than diabetes, for most men a large contributing factor is sexual dissipation –excessive loss of semen through ejaculation. If you are a young man and have floaters, now you know why. This is another finding of Chinese medicine. The cure? Replenish the body though meditation, and accumulate your jing rather than lose it. Sometimes this works, sometimes not, but that’s the clearest advice you will probably ever find. It takes sevral motnhs of restraint for the body to replenish itself.

Will eye vitamins help eliminate these problems? They’ll help with retinopathy, night vision, macular degeneration and eye health in general (especially if the ingredients contain billberry, eyebright, lutein, etc.) but for these problems SPECIFICALLY, who can say? For some yes (because of that person’s particular tie-ins with the conditions) and for others no. It’s like arthritis or cholesterol drugs — sometimes they work for you and sometimes not … in which case you try a different drug or different approach. Common sense.

Meditation that restores normal chi flow to diseased organs always helps. Getting off drugs causing vision problems often helps. It’s a complicated subject.
