Chris, if you think the MSM drops will work what percentage solution would you recommend and would you add anything else to the solution? I can see quite well out of the right eye but I can only see about half the distance that I can see out of my left eye.
Jim, use 15% solution in contact lens saline solution every hour or so and make sure you don't contaminate it also make small quantities to keep fresh. This was used on injured rabbit eyes which developed cataract - am not sure how well it will work on humans. Also you could supplement with Occudyine follow instructions on bottle.

Dick,
I have used 15% myself and it seems OK, The saline solution would be a little more soothing but I did not find distill water solution harsh on my eyes. However, the following is extracted form Earl Mindell's Booklet "THE MSM MIRACLE" page 43 reproduced below. A good source of info on MSM is at:
http://www.oralchelation.com/msm/msm0.htm
Chris Gupta
"THE EYES
Think of your eyeball as a balloon full of water, but instead of being rubber, it is a protein membrane. Optical tissue normally allows fluids to flow through the membrane wall which acts like a filter, cleaning out harmful particles, keeping your eyes clear and your vision good as it allows nutrients to permeate. But should the membranes become tough like leather, the fluids are trapped and particles begin to accumulate. If this buildup continues, your vision will seem as if you're looking through frosted glass, a condition known as cataracts.
When eyedrops containing the proper amount of MSM are applied, the membrane becomes permeable, and this has reversed the problem. It is also important that the eye remain flexible so that the muscles can alter its contour and focus as needed. In the event that its membranes and muscles become rigid and tough, the eye will not be able to focus properly, resulting in blurred vision. The MSM in eyedrops soothes and softens the membranes, permitting fluids to pass through the optical tissues to stabilize the pressure, repair any damage, clear up red spots and bloodshot vessels, and remove floaters and other particles in the eye.
In one case, a 15 percent solution of MSM in isotonic saline was a soothing treatment for the eye following accidental injury due to particulate matter in the eye. In a test with an irritated eye of a rabbit, the eye cleared when treated every hour with a 10 percent aqueous solution of MSM. Be assured, the concentration in the MSM eye drops you get will be sufficient. Follow the instructions on the label.
As noted earlier, the B vitamins in general and the sulfur-related amino acids and compounds are vital to maintaining healthy eyes. Specifically, we've learned that glucosamine is the starting material for the eyes, that glutathione promotes good eye health and low levels accompany almost every type of eye disease. We also know that people suffering from the eye disease retinitis pigmentosa show reduced levels of taurine within the eye."
Hi Chris,
Typical MSM eye drops are around 1% from what I hear. Is 15% safe?

>Here is how to make the cataract solution form MSM. Just remember to use
the pure powder. You can make the 15% solution by mixing 1.5 grams of MSM
in 10 ml of water (two teaspoons). Its best to make small batches for
freshness. Use 2 to 4 times daily.<
Chris
Thanks. Maybe we could make the solution in 5ppm colloidal silver as a
preservative.
Dick
Great idea! Another would be to buy saline solution for contact lenses ( this has preservative already in it) and mix the MSM in it. For those who do not have access to colloidal silver. Also not sure if MSM will react with silver... Think it would be best to go the inert route first than check out the CS idea.
Chris
Hello,
Just a note to say as a 6-month subscriber to the CS maillist, MSM mixed
with CS works just fine, in fact is recommended for use in an inhaler
for those with respiratory ailments. The ppm of CS doesn't matter much,
since it's difficult to control when making it yourself. Most folks make
in the 5-15ppm range.

Readers' Comments
Hi Chris, I have used an MSM eye drop preparation produced by Trimedica for a long time and was very upset recently to find that it was discontinued. When I called Nutrition Depot where I live in Atlanta, the gentleman who answered the phone suggested that I make it myself. He suggested typing in the query at Google. When I did, it brought me to your page where I found the much needed information I was seeking. I just wanted to say thank you very much for your help! Sincerely, Marion

Chris, I have been using MSM drops on my poodle for her cataracts for about 6 months now.
The cataract in her right eye has already dissolved by a full 30%.
I am a firm believer in MSM and DMSO.
Years ago, my cockatoo was near death from a severe respiratory infection.
I restored his health using DMSO.

Cataracts & Vision - Carnosine and N-Acetylcarnosine Eye Drops
Posted by: Chris Gupta on April 11, 2006 03:00 PM
Dear Kim:
I have been using Carnosine eye drops on my poodle for her cataracts for about 6 months. ( "Clear Eye Carnosine." It contains 1% N-Acetyl-Carnosine. I ordered it online. )
However, about a month ago I started adding "MSM Drops" to the regimen. ( 4% MSM in saline solution. Also ordered online. )
When I recently did some more investigating on MSM, I found the information on how to make a 15% solution. I ordered the MSM powder, and am now trying to find a bottle of plain saline solution for eyes, that I can remove the lid to, to be able to add the proper amount of MSM.
The Carnosine eye drops are ideally administered 2 - 3 times a day. I have probably averaged twice a day. The same with the MSM drops. I apply them seperately, first the Carnosine, then a few minutes later, the MSM drops.
Her cataracts have improved dramatically.
From the research I have done, it appears that some people and some pets have benefited from MSM, and also Carnosine in relation to cataracts.
I am very slightly near sighted, and have used the Carnosine eye drops.
My vision sharpened after about 2 weeks.
My husband has used Bilberry extract capsules for his nearsightedness and astigmitism for about 2 years, and has found it to be very helpful.
I have also used it for many years, and had the same results.
However, I found that it was important to use a brand that is standarized, to insure potency and quality.
We bought a cheaper brand once, and our vision declined in a matter of days.
The benefits of DMSO, MSM, and Carnosine are incredible, according to our experiences.
Hope this helps.

Hi: Everyone: Have a small floater and wanted to know how msm helps remove floaters? I would be very happy if it did. I did order the MSM Eye drops and am waiting to get them. I just wanted to know what it does? Thanks for any help! just started getting this small floater 7 months ago; it is the same one that breaks up into smaller ones; thanks and need relief; i would rather do herbal than surgery; i also am taking vitamins and i do see some improvement; hope to hear from someone soon. thanks for any help

I wonder if I can get an answer here? I was in my doctor's office the other day and was putting Tears in my eyes (very dry and one sore)and a woman told me to get MSM - I asked what it was and she said I could only get in U.S. I have now found this site, but wondered if this is where I should look (?) I have had my cataracts removed and am having a problem with one eye (both done), which the doctor is treating for a problem resulting from the replaced lense (?) - maybe infection (?) He has been prescribing different eye drops - one with codeine and to which he said I was "codeine resistant". I wonder if using MSM would help, being as I have had the cataract surgery? Would very much like to know the answer to this. Too bad I didn't know about this before opting for the surgery.
Thank you.

Kim, you have probably found your question about floaters answered by now. They are mucus tissue that builds up in the viscous fluid in the eye. There is nothing medically that can be done for them that I have heard about in over thirty years of research. Think of small wispy clouds floating in one's vision. Treatment or cures may be there but I haven't found them yet. I am going to try the MSM eye drops.

I am so happy to have found this site with all the comments from such informed people. I have had cataract surgery and am sorry I did. I now have glaucoma in one eye and the doctor has tried all the drops - does not lower pressure. She has also done laser surgery twice. The last time has caused me to lose some sight and probably have some sort of infection (eye red and sore). I am using three different drops and expecting she will want to do surgery as a last resort. I recently heard of MSM for the eyes and will be getting the liquid form from my local health food store. Can someone tell me how to mix it for an eye wash. I am willing to try anything natural that might help. Thank you in advance for any advice.
Posted by: Martie on March 21, 2009 08:18 PM
Interesting. I have been on carnosine eye drops for my cataracts. They're worthless for me. I would like to try MSM. I have DMSO. Can someone refer me to where I can buy MSM ay 15 concentration? And do I mix DMSO with it?

I need to know in U.S. measure how to make MSM eye drops, whithout Colodia Silver. I have brough that kind... it hurts going in and does not help. I used the plain MSM till they took it off the market, it is the ONLY thing that helps my severe dry eyes.

I have been using MSM drops and l-carnosine drops for one year. I have cataracts in both eyes and some macular degeneration in my left eye. In November 2009 I was told I needed cataract surgery. In November 2010 I was told I did not. The improvement in visual acutity (left eye) was from 20/100 to 20/50, (right eye) from 20/70 to 20/40. That is the result of tests by a retinal specialist.
This is what I need to know: In using l-carnosine drops I was told I could not take lutein or zeaxanthin. My retinal specialist said that saffron has reversed dry macular degeneration and that I should take saffron supplements. Saffron is a caroenoid, as are lutein and zeaxanthin. Should I not use it? Many thanks for advice.

After looking at the postings here, I see that they are all quite old; many have unanswered questions which leaves me to think that it might be pointless to pose yet another.
However, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
It was my intention to make a MSM solution to use in an eye bath to combat a cataract in my left eye.
The more I read, the more confused I became with
several manufactures/distributors, claiming to have the purest product, while warning against the possible impurity of others.
And then comes what liquid and quantity to use in relationship to the amount of powder, crystals, or flakes, or WHATEVER.
Can anyone tell me, by their own experience what has REALLY worked for them personally, dogs and birds are excluded.
What amount of MSM powder, crystals, flakes, or whatever was dissolved in what amount of what liquid?
Thank you for your attention. Alex
Posted by: Alexander on August 26, 2011 01:57 PM
Alexander..I agree, many partial recipes and old unanswered questions. I've read that with MSM, you should buy the bulk powder and make sure there are no preservatives, fillers, etc. (which most of the capsules have). The article I read said that in luke warm water a pure MSM powder should dissolve within 15 minutes.
I think the health stores carry the powder in bulk..just ask them.
Hope this helps!

I recently purchased Dexterity Health Liquid MSM with Vitamin C drops. I thought they were eye drops but when I read the directions it says to mix with water and drink. Is this safe to put in eyes to lower eye pressure. and if not, will drinking this work to lower pressure?
