Newly approved eye drops help people see close up without glasses | |

User ID: 41363534 United States 05/03/2022 10:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This. I was terrified for a decade I was going blind. I finally had a real eye exam and all that was happening was normal ocular degeneration from aging. I had hyper sensitive sight, light and distance. I can't see up close as well. Turns out my vision is still 99.9 perfect I just have normal loss. For someone who had hyper sight capabilities it feels like you're going insane, but I only need a 2.50, the most popular magnification. One eye is slightly sharper than the other but not enough to justify 300. dollar glasses. I found a brand for 13.00 bucks each that look like the expensive 300 dollar designer glasses you order. It's like candy I buy every color and style. I feel blind without them. These monsters are insane I would never try to chemically replace what a pair of glasses would do; that's pathologically insane. There is such a thing as contacts, if you really hate glasses. It's a form of black magic; now we're really getting into some freakish pharmakeia. Tomfoolery |

This is its resting shape and that shape focusses at infinity, with respect to the retina. When you relax your eyes, they naturally look into the distance. It takes effort to focus up close. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83096587 Muscles attached to the lens are able to distort it so it focusses close up. As we age, the lens becomes more stiff and inflexible, mainly from calcification. The muscles also weaken with age and pretty soon the lens can't be distorted to see up close any more. They admit that the primary effect of the drops is to force the pupils to contract. This would be a analogous to changing a camera's aperture from F2.8 to F16 – depth of field increases. But it's not softening the lens or strengthening the muscles. I'm not sure how well it'd work. And I'm not going to find out. Pilocarpine HCl has been used for years to treat glaucoma. I don't think I have glaucoma, and I don't want my eyes to decide they crave glaucoma medication. About 25 years ago, I spent a few days in an expensive hospital following a t-bone auto mishap. My traumas were several; I guess I had a bit of blood seeping from my ears, and one of the professionals had decided I should have antibiotic eardrops to guard against infection. The hands-on caregivers apparently couldn't read, and they associated Neosporin with eyedrops. They didn't notice the bottle said otic, not ophthalmic. So I got eardrops in my eyes qid for the duration. Acetic acid. My pleasure was extreme. |

[link to www.wtnh.com (secure)] So, I actually have these drops. I've used them and they work wonderfully. Here's my review 1. Out-of-Pocket $70 a month vs. $1.00 readers from Dollar Tree 2. they work, very, very, well. I can read very fine print. 3. They take about 10 minutes to work. Eyes have slight itch to them while pupil contracts. 4. The way they work is pupil contracts allowing less light in and vision becomes very clear. 5. One drop in each eye lasts about 6 hours. If you use one drop a day, 1 small bottle lasts a month. When they wear off, you're tempted to put in more drops because they work so well. Or you're back to your readers so what's the point? 6. Side-affects indicate headache - I've not experienced headaches and my retina hasn't detached (been using 4x a week about 2 months). 7. prescription required from an ophthalmologist. Places like Vision Works and Pearl Vision can't prescribe. If you're considering, ask eye doctor if they can prescribe before you get your exam. I like them if I'm going to have a very busy day at work or heading out for the night. Too expensive for me to use twice a day every day. |

Fort Worth's Alcon Labs marketed pilocarpine for eye trauma, dry eyes, Sjogren Syndrome, etc, even though it caused the exact opposite, drying the eyes out (among other things). Novartis bought Alcon and ruined it, Alcon got out 2 years ago, drug went off patent now relabeled for therapeutic uses, i.e. known side effects. Never trust a new use for off patent drug relabeling.

Each stop cuts the light by 50%. So from 100% (full daylight), it ends up being only about 3% of that. The eyes will be trying to dilate to see more light, but this stuff will be stopping them. Especially indoors. To get effective depth of field, everything gets much darker. Not a very effective remedy for loss of close vision. The question is how it forces the iris to do that. Obviously it does some damage, because side effects include blindness and retina detachment. |
