Podcast 53: Community Q&A

This episode answers questions related to cataracts, glaucoma, eye drops, NAC, and astigmatism. Question 1 0:00 - 4:53 What do you think about IV chelation, coconut charcoal, and urine challenge testing for cataracts and glaucoma?   I am having trouble because most doctors will say I have to have surgery.  Thank you. Question 2 4:53 - 9:10 Is there some way I can get some information about the cataract eye drops? I need to know if they are compatible with "N-Acetyl Carnosine" eye drops. I would like to use your cataract eye drops and the MSM eye drops if they would work with the above. I would appreciate your answer very much. Thank you. Question 3 9:10 - 14:41 I have cataracts and will be needing surgery next year.  Do any of your products contain lutein? Thank You. Question 4 14:41 - 18:43 I already have had cataract surgery on both eyes. My doctor said I had dry eye and macular problems. What can I take for these?  Thank you so much. Question 5 18:43 - 21:56 Hi Dr. Sam: I have a question for your podcast. I hear you talking about how having long sight in one eye and short sight in the other on prescriptions can be bad. But I have that naturally. Could that cause problems in the future? I am 60 yrs old.  I find it useful because I can go without my glasses a lot of the time but I get headaches if I go all of the time without glasses.  I also have astigmatism. Thanks! Question 5 18:43 - 21:56 Is it usual for vision to get more blurred before it gets better, with cataracts?
