MSM is an organic sulfur which increases collagen synthesis. Collagen breakdown contributes to various eye conditions resulting from the inability of the eye to secrete toxins and fluids. I first compounded this eye-drop for a client with a severe case of dry eye syndrome. It has since been used by those with cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and for those who simply interested in preserving eye health.
Aging Eyes: Just like our skin, our eyes grow tougher and less resilient as we age. This is where MSM eye drops come to the rescue. As these eye drops have the ability to soften the leathery membranes of the eye, they can comfortably allow nutrients to pass with greater ease to the locations where they are needed in the eye.
Cataracts: One of the most common eye problems we see today are. MSM drops potentially provide relief by removing the waste particle buildup of cataracts. In addition to this, some research has shown that high levels of antioxidants can help prevent the progression of cataracts.
Additional Therapeutic Effects: Other than what has been mentioned already, there are also additional benefits of using MSM eye drops. For example, MSM drops are said to cause improved vision, lead to an improvement in red spots, and they have also been reported to help in the removal of floaters. Macular degeneration is also improved, according to my experience with clients and customers over the years.
ADDITION OF SEA BUCKTHORN BERRY OIL
I first compounded this eye-drop for a client with a severe case of dry eye syndrome due to a dysfunction of the Meibomian glands of the eyelids. It has since been used by those with cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and for those who simply interested in preserving eye health.
Sea buckthorn is a rich source of antioxidants and fatty acids, including omega-7, proven effective against dry eye. Some people have problems with the glands in the eyelids that secret fatty acids, so adding them topically makes a lot of sense. I don't know of anyone else making an eye drop containing sea buckthorn oil.
ADDITION OF MAGNESIUM
WHY THE ADDITION OF MAGNESIUM? I developed this version of the eye drop for a person with a genetic condition that causes calcification of the retinae. Because magnesium dissolves calcifications, I thought it would be a good addition. I researched and found this form of magnesium (chloride hexahydrate) has been used in saline solutions to help with the ferning.
Magnesium is an essential nutrient for the healthy function of many different parts of our body including the heart, bones, muscles and nerves. A low diet of magnesium can cause significant health problems, so it is important to include magnesium-rich foods in your diet in order to live a healthy lifestyle. Magnesium is especially important in eye health and has been shown to improve the visual field and retinal circulation in patients with glaucoma. Studies with both humans and animals show that a supplement of magnesium greatly improves eye health and though there have been studies showing these positive effects, further research should be conducted to open up even more therapeutic treatments for eye health through the use of magnesium.
You can see in the diagram below that magnesium downregulates inflammation and upregulates antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity within the eye. In addition to making sure you are getting adequate magnesium internally, what better way to directly bath the eye structures than with the direct application of magnesium to the eye itself?
