Answer 1

TV's Richard and Judy are supposed to be following up that claim. Contact the programme maker.

Answer 2

Cataracts are when the lens becomes cloudy. the only way to get rid of them is to have an operation under local anaesthetic it takes about 20 min's where they replace your lens with an artificial one. No drops or anything else will cure them. The only bright eyes drops I know of are designed to shrink the blood vessels on the surface of the eye to make the whites look brighter. Many primary trusts will not operate if your vision is still adequate or you have othe rproblems The operation costs about £1,700 privately (round here) make sure it includes all consultations and yag laser whcih is sometimes needed afterwards. Normally when this operation is done they correct your vision at the same time, you may need reading spex as you get older. There is also a new varifocal lens that they can implant which means the reading glasses would not be needed, this costs even more. How about one private consultation with a consultant he could really explain in detail what it would all mean in your particular circumstances and could if you were lucky get you on the NHS list.

If you have cateracts in both eyes, maybe only one is "ripe". I'm surmising that the cataract in your "good" eye isn't ripe yet.

The risks for cataract surgery are very low, so I can't imagine how they would outweigh the benefits. Maybe the doctor thought you wouldn't benefit from having only one eye done.

I've never heard of any drop that dissolves cataracts. If this is true, then you'd still have to replace the dissolved cataract with an artificial lens, which requires surgery.

Answer 4

If I were you I would go to the nearest EYE Hospital, their is a very good one in Philadelphia Pa. Being I have no idea were you are that is the best I can do. I would ask an eye specialist about your drops. My grandmother used them but that was after the lens of the eye was repaired. I never heard of the drops helping avoiding the process of an operation. Some insurance company to keep cost down give bad advice on things they know nothing about. GOOD LUCK!

their email address first !! [e-mail] N Acetyl-Carnosine (NAC) Bright Eyes Drops naturally dissolve cataracts!


Ethos Bright Eyes Zeaxanthin with Lutein Capsules restore macular pigment density, which declines with age, and also help to prevent the development of cataracts.


It is important to understand that these two Ethos Bright Eyes Products work in unison together to treat a whole myriad of different eye conditions including glaucoma, cataracts and macular degeneration. Because of this, we have a very Special Promotional Offer available when you purchase the two products together. See our Promotional Pack Offer when you reach the checkout.

WARNING: Ethos Endymion Bright Eyes for cataracts was the actual product featured in the Richard & Judy TV Trials and the Daily Mail newspaper features. Many other eye drop suppliers are now trying to cash in on the phenomenal success of our Bright Eyes drops and are exploiting our features, testimonials and press coverage saying that they relate to their products which is blatantly untrue! If it does not say Ethos Endymion Bright Eyes on the Label then it is most definitely NOT the same product. Purchasing these less expensive copy-cat products may lead you to very disappointing results...

Get to a doctor is good advice. But it will do you no harm to buy can see or bright eyes cateract drops it will cost about $300 to treat for 6 months but you may avoid surgery maybe! The stuff is showing good results in people. Its been used for years for animals. But if it works you will have better vision than removing the natural lens

Answer 7

Call an eye specialist. Cleveland Ohio has a cataract eye clinic, and these doctors do cataract removal, and cornea replacement. I take my children there and I am very happy with their work. Maybe you need to see these doctors or find eye specialist in your area. People come from all over to see these doctors, and they are listed on the Web as Cleveland Cataract eye clinic on east 22nd st. You can call information on your telephone, and they will give you the direct number. You will be pleased with your results many are.

Answer 8

It's always easier to go with the less invasive technique first. I'd use the drops for a while. During this time you can research a doctor that uses the laser to remove cataracts, it's the latest technique, and you heal much quicker. As you age, at some point they probably will want to do surgery.

Answer 9

Sorry for your problem. The eye drops are called Vital eyes but they will do nothing for you. In fact, if your cataracts are caused by glaucoma the drops could do you more harm than good. They are only for occasional use to soothe irritated eyes. Could you afford to see someone privately about your cataracts? I hope your problem is soon resolved.

Answer 10

different cases call for different treatment. but there is a new treatment where they use a lazer to take off cateracts. phone some eye drs. and check to see if it will work. hope this helps, and u get ur eye fixed. god bless
