Natural Eye Care with Dr. Marc Grossman, Holistic Optometrist - Homeopathic Treatments for Cataracts

Homeopathic Treatments for Cataracts

Cataracts are one of the most common conditions in people over the age of 70. Cineraria Homeopathic eye drops help to clear the crystalline lens. Cineraria Maritima is the most recommended homeopathic remedy for cataracts because of its ability to clear and dissolve obstructing fibrils in the lens. Cataracts are a condition that develops as the body ages and has a harder time providing oxygen, nutrition, detoxification, and antioxidants to the cells of the lens. Doctors recommend natural treatments that support the body's ability to maintain and clear the crystalline lens. These homeopathic eye drops encourage the body to send oxygen through the blood vessels of the eye and into the aqueous, which nourish and detoxify the living tissue. Cineraria Maritima has been used in homeopathy for over 100 years to safely and effectively treat cataracts.

Natural Eye Care with Dr. Marc Grossman, Holistic Optometrist - Nutrients to Help with Glaucoma: Fresh Maritime Pine Bark and Bilberry

Nutrients to Help with Glaucoma: Fresh Maritime Pine Bark and Bilberry

Patients with glaucoma are usually only given medicated eye drops by optometrists to lower their eye pressure. However, there are certain nutrients that can help reduce and mitigate the effects of glaucoma. Fresh maritime pine bark and bilberry are powerful antioxidants that work on the underlying symptoms of glaucoma. They neutralize harmful free radicals and promote cardiovascular health. A research study found that using pine bark and bilberry along with eye drops like Latanoprost promotes aqueous drainage. Pine bark and bilberry act on a molecular level to decrease the production of aqueous humor, improve blood vessel structure and function, and decrease resistance to fluid drainage.

Every patient who is currently taking glaucoma medication should consider adding maritime pine bark and bilberry to get the best results. Other antioxidants that are good for glaucoma are alpha-lipoic acid, glutathione, lutein, zeaxanthin, and vitamin C. Laboratory studies show that antioxidants, along with regular glaucoma medication, reduce the risk factors from glaucoma.

As Shakespeare said, "The eyes are the windows to the soul." Eye care should involve addressing the body, mind, and spirit. Traditional Chinese medicine refers to the eyes as the "pilot light." Our inner vision, how we view and interpret the world, affects our outer vision, how we see. Mind/body medicine depends on all of the individual factors effectively working together. Eyesight is affected by multiple factors: genetics, the food we eat, our environments, emotional and psychological health, and our belief systems. Healthy eyesight depends on our total well-being.
