4.0 out of 5 stars Mixed Results - Depends On Purpose For Use, February 2, 2011

First of all, for the skeptics, let me state I am just an ordinary Jane with no agenda, writing a real review of my experience. I chose to give this product 4 stars (which means "I like it" according to the pop-up when I placed my cursor on that star. 3 is "It's OK" and 5 is "I love it."). This is my subjective ratings, averaged, based on the following uses in my family.

Myself (4 stars) - I originally made a purchase of these drops to see if it might help my dog who was dx'd with juvenile cataracts in one eye at less than a year old. More on that next. OK, so being the animal lover I am, and since this product is tested safe for humans and dogs, I decided I'd put it in my eyes before putting it in my dog's eyes. I don't use them daily now, but I did in the beginning simply because I liked the way it soothed my eyes after wearing contacts all day. I have healthy eyes but a very strong corrective prescription. Sometime during the first week of use, I noticed a few things. The colors of nature seemed to be a little brighter, I could more easily see definition in the treetops, and I had a slight improvement in my night vision. When I questioned my doc at my next eye exam about the drops, wondering if I was just imagining these slight improvements, she commented that it's her opinion the drops can be genuinely helpful and recommended I keep using them. No, she didn't sell them to me, so no reason for her to fabricate a positive opinion.

My young dog (3 stars) - I'm aware that these drops were tested on senile cataracts, but decided to try them anyway. Trying to cut my spending, I decided to use 2 drops in the eye with the cataract and 1 drop in the clear eye, rather than 4 daily in both. The animal eye specialist I take my dog to says she is not familiar with Can-C drops but doesn't think any kind of drops will help, but she seems more than happy to perform surgery at some point for me to the tune of $4,000 per eye (WHAT?!?!?!) At any rate, my dog has had three checkups, every 6 months from the time of dx, and there has been no progression of the cataract in his one eye, nor has their been improvement. However, given that I was told at the first appt that juvenile cataracts often progress rapidly, I think no progression for two years is a win. The doc thinks it's just luck, not the drops. No way to know, either way. The other eye, up until the last appt, had no cataract but has now developed a very small spot. So, as my grandfather would say, I've probably been being penny wise and pound foolish in not using the proper dosage in both eyes to begin with. We'll see what the next appt reveals, as I've now switched to 4 drops (2, 2x day) in both eyes as I should have been doing all along. I'll try to remember to pop back in a give a quick update in a few months.

My elderly father (5 stars) - In 2009, he had cataract surgery in one eye. Last year, his doc commented he thought it was about time to do the other eye. I asked my father if he wanted to try what I was using for the dog and gave him a bottle. He, in turn, asked his doc if it would be OK and was told by the doc he felt it would be perfectly safe. He said he'd heard of the drops but never had a patient use them. My father ended up buy 6 boxes (not from this seller). I'm sorry I don't have the exact time frame (guessing it was a few months of 2 drops, 2 times a day). The bottom line is, my father had such a dramatic improvement that his doc said he would never consider doing surgery on him at this point.

OK, so there you have it. Oh, and I should add, I tried the other brand Brite Eyes III ... those drops stung the living daylights outta my eyes. They were anything but soothing. I ended up tossing the open bottle and still have the second one unopened. I realize this might not be the case for everyone. There likely will be some who experience stinging with Can-C but not Brite Eyes.

5.0 out of 5 stars cataract impovement, April 8, 2010

I had cataract surgery in my right eye seven years ago and had planned to do my left eye a year later. But, having read about N-acetyl carnosine, I decided to try it first. Here I am, seven years later and my cataract has not progressed at all, according to my opthalmologist, and it is much lighter in color. It used to be dark yellow in strong sunlight and is now almost as white as my right eye. The cataract is still there, but I don't feel the need to remove it, as my sight is fine. I never stopped using the drops, but now I only use it twice a day, not four times.

5.0 out of 5 stars It takes a while, September 22, 2010

Based on the directions results may take 6-9 months or more of 4 drops a day. After a year of being diagnosed with cataracts, I am seeing a major improvement. I just went to my optometrist yesterday and he said he didn't see any signs of cataracts. You may also want to increase your intake of vitamin d. I also supplement with billberry.
