Saffron is supposed to be great for your eyes and for macular degeneration. Are your eyes better even w/o macular degeneration?

No actually my vision has gotten worse lately, could this be causing that?? I'll check with my eye doctor but in the mean time I am going to stop unsing this product.

I am just beginning to get cataracts but I have noticed a difference. The cataract is more opaque than before and narrower also. I would definitely recommend trying these drops. I have noticed no adverse effects except some drying around my eyes. I feel like my vision is clearer too.

To tell you the truth I don't know if either is helping. My eyesight has not improved but I have an environmental illness so it may be taking longer for me to realize improvement. All I can say is try it for yourself.

The violet rays cause oxygenation to kill bacteria, so this is good for skin with acne. Orange rays are better for anti-aging.

I didn't quite understand Dr. Kabir's answer. My family is Spanish, and we use far too much saffron than the pocketbook should! lol Anyway, La Mancha is fine (he may be talking about Mogri, Kashmir, other saffron types). Spaniards always "toast" saffron by heating it up a bit (don't burn it) in a cast iron pan. My grandmother would put a few pinches on the lid of the stockpot she was using to "toast" it that way. Dissolving it in hot water (broth, milk, whatever) is probably best. It draws out full color and flavor. Added: Too much saffron might taste medicinal, sort of, to those who haven't used it all their lives. But using only a "pinch," as recipes call for, truly isn't enough. Start by crushing two pinches between your thumb and index fingers into the broth, stock, etc. I use more than that routinely.

I had the same question when I was ordering because there wasn't much info about the difference on Amazon. You might find details on the Nordic Naturals site.I wound up ordering Omega Vision and replenish when I run out. It has made a difference in my eyes as well as my joints. Other brands can make the joints ache in the morning. This brand does not and is actually soothing for eyestrain and overall comfort.

Linda, I haven't used Gathering of Saffron, but I can vouch for the intensity and flavor of La Mancha. I first received this as a gift, then bought it for myself when I ran out (years later). I see that now the price has doubled since I received my first tin, so I suggest you jump on it and buy the big one! Cheers, MLR

I am very sorry, I don't know the answer to your question. I do not notice any difference in my eyes when I take this product. It was prescribed for me because I have age related "dry" macular degeneration. This product has been shown to help delay the onset of "wet" macular degeneration which is seriously bad for one's eyesight. I am 79 and have had "dry" macular degeneration for approximately 12 years.When my eyes are dry, I use an artificial tear product by Bausch & Lomb. Wish I could help you but only know about how this applies to me. I would think that ICaps wouldn't hurt but certainly do not know if they would help.

I got them for my mother who has incipient macular degeneration and she says she can use them over her prescription glasses

I believe the answer is "yes" due the wavelength of the UV light (it doesn't matter what you're looking at - it's the light that's harmful). The glasses are cheap protection for your eyes.

I have been taking them for over a year now to help with my eyes. I was having issues with blurring and focus and started taking these. Have been working very well and helping a lot. Lutein and Zeaxanthin have been studied and proven to help with chronic eye issues, cataracts, and age related macular degeneration. They are naturally occuring in leafy greens which I don't always eat enough of, so I started taking them to make sure I am getting the vitamins I need for my eyes by taking these supplements. Hope that helps.

Dont know. My wife takes macushield, which was recommended for her eyes by her optician

Actually I am agreeing with the Theratears manufacturer that you should only take those that have not expired but you can check with your eye doctor. By the way, I am an optometrist.

I think I understand more clearly now, what you you are asking. The "wet" and "dry" talk about macular degeneration has to do with blood vessels growing on the retina behind the eye. "Wet" and "dry" do not have anything to do with your eyes feeling dry or wet. Hope this helps. It must be confusing to one without knowledge of macular degeneration "talk".

Paule, I don't really know about heavy metals. I take 2 a day and am taking lutein, etal, on the recommendation of my ophthalmologist to head off development of macular degeneration.
