| Can-C - Cataracts a thing of
the past?
Breakthrough Cataract Reversal in a
Drop - Can-C™ clinically proven 100% safe and effective!
Approved by Innovative Vision Products, Can-C™,
is manufactured in a GMP pharmaceutical facility which meets ISO
9001:2000 and ISO 13485:2003 standards by a licensed manufacturer
located in Great Britain.
Cataracts are caused by the
hardening and discolouration of the lens due to lifelong
cross-linking (glycosylation) of the lens proteins with ascorbate.
This persists in the aqueous humor at high concentrations, due to
the low availability of natural defences in the form of
anti-oxidants (which decline with advancing age). N-acetylcarnosine
delivers L-carnosine into the aqueous humor of the eye (the fluid
area surrounding the lens) where it acts as a natural and
comprehensive anti-oxidant, protecting structural lens proteins from
the free-radical induced oxidation process.
As cataracts develops, antioxidants defence in the body is
exhausted, leading to the cross-linking of the lens crystallins and
producing a clouded lens and impaired eyesight. The clinical trials
show that the regular use of a 1% N-acetylcarnosine (N.A.C.)
eye-drop, delivers a high dose of carnosine capable of reversing the
lens cross-linking of the lens crystallins and aids in the reduction
and possible eradication of cataracts.

FAQ's and Instructions for
use
Q. How do I know that this is the same n-acetylcarnosine eye drop
that was clinically trialed by the famous Russian doctor?
"There is a very simple way to determine if one is purchasing the
safe, patented product formula that was proven in the Russian
clinical trials. Be sure to look for the following statement
appearing on the labels offered by approved private label
distributors, - "Approved by Innovative Vision Products". While
there are several other private label products available, Can-CTM is
the original formula and finding the above statement on the box
ensures that you have purchased the correct and only clinically
tested product." - Mark Babizhayev MA, PhD
Q. How many drops of Can-C will I need to use?
Apply two drops in the effected
eye(s) two times daily, (morning and night), or as directed by a
physician. Note: When applying the drops be sure the 1st drop is
fully absorbed before applying the 2nd drop to prevent wasting any
of the product. This can mean waiting up to 5 minutes between the
first and second drop application.
Q. When will I begin to notice any changes or improvements?
Typically, you will begin to see signs of initial results after the
first 3 months of use. Results are more significant after four to
five months and even more dramatic results are achieved after six to
8 months. Because cataracts, and most other age-related eye
disorders, are caused by low anti-oxidant and high free-radical
activity, the regular and consistent use of low-dose Can-CTM has
been shown to be and excellent, non-invasive option, for the
treatment and even reversal of cataracts. Testimonials!
Q. How will I be able to tell if the product is working for me?
While you may notice, almost immediately, minor clarity improvements
- those types of improvements are merely due to the lubricant
benefits of the product and are not actually related to cataract
reversal. During the first few months of use you are actually slowly
changing the chemistry of the eye and are therefore not likely to
see significant signs of improvement right away. Initial
improvements generally occur right around the end of the 3rd month
of use. Improvement in night vision is one of the first signs that
the cataract is thinning. Once these initial improvements are noted
you are well on your way to improved vision and the process seems to
progress more quickly from that point onward. We also have reports
that improved brightness of colours is what is noticed initially.
Ultimately at either the 6 month point or the 12 month point you
will want to have your eyes checked to determine to what degree you
have succeeded in reversing your cataract. Once the optimal level of
reversal has been achieved it is advised to use the recommended
maintenance dose to ensure that cataract does not return.
Q. My cataract is pretty bad will Can-CTM still work?
Yes, however the earlier one starts the better. In clinical trials,
those who had cataracts less than seven years experienced the most
dramatic results. Those who had cataracts for seven to 15 years
still received very good results. Those who had cataracts for more
than 15 years experienced less dramatic improvements, but
improvements none the less. Simply put you will want to continue
using the drops at the recommended dose until the optimal level of
reversal has been achieved which will occur at some point between 6
- 12 months use. Once this level of improvement has occurred it is
advised to reduce the daily dose to the maintenance dose of 1 drop
daily to prevent the return of cataract.
Q. Are the results long-lasting?
The benefits of Can-C are long lasting however if the drops are
discontinued entirely the degenerative disease that was present
initially is likely to return and so it is advised to continue with
the maintenance dose on a regular and on-going basis. Maintenance
Dose: use one drop of Can-CTM in each eye six days a week, with a
one or two week break every two months.
Q. Will the drops burn my eyes at all?
Can-C is buffered to an optimal pH level as are most eye drops.
There should not be any burning with use of this product only a
soothing relief of any previous irritation. Of course as with all
eye drops if any burning persists, immediately consult your eye care
specialist and discontinue use of the product. Can-C™ ingredients
Q. Are there any potential side effects?
With this formula, utilized in multiple human and canine clinical
trials, there have been no reported side effects or
contra-indications, even when used everyday for up to 2 years.
Q. Are there any medications that conflict with Can-C?
Always consult your physician and/or eye care specialist when adding
a new medication or product to an existing regimen. To date there
have been no medications that interfere with the effectiveness of
Can-C or vice versa. It is however advised that Can-C eye drops be
applied no sooner than 1 hour, before or after applying any other
prescription eye drop.
Q. Are there any vitamins or supplements that conflict with
Can-C?
Yes there are two. While in most cases taking vitamin supplements in
no way conflict with the good effects of this products ability to
address cataracts, there are some antioxidants that can greatly
inhibit the intended result of this product. The supplements of
concern are ocular support anti-oxidants as these particular
supplements tend to have a remotely similar action toward addressing
the problem of cataract and in actuality compete with, and then
negate the superior action of n-acetylcarnosine which is far more
direct in it's ability to address the problem of cataract. For
these reasons the supplements that should not be taken in
conjunction with n-acetylcarnosine are Lutein and Zeaxanthin as they
do interfere with the cataract reversal process. However, once
optimal results have been achieved and only the maintenance dose is
being used Lutein and Zeaxanthin may be re-introduced as part of the
overall ocular health management effort. Most other antioxidants and
supplements should be continued and may certainly be of benefit to
the end result.
Q. In addition to Cataracts and Glaucoma, are Can-CTM eye-drops
helpful for other degenerative eye-disorders?
Although the information is not yet published, Dr. Mark Babizhayev
the leading expert on the use of NAC eye drops, believes NAC could
potentially also be beneficial as well as a preventive measure for
the following eye conditions:
Presbyopia
Corneal disorders
Computer Vision Syndrome
Eye strain
Ocular inflammation
Blurred vision
Dry Eye Syndrome
Retinal diseases
Vitreous opacities and lesions
Q. Who should use Can-CTM eye drops?
Anyone, who would like to reduce the inevitable oxidative stress
induced degeneration of their eyes, therefore the superior and
bioavailable antioxidant benefits of Can-C may be useful for anyone
who:
is 35 years old or older
is nearsighted
wears reading glasses
is African American
has a family history of cataracts and/or glaucoma
has had excessive exposure to sunlight
has a history of internal eye injury or bleeding
has had previous eye surgery
has used oral and/or ocular steroid medication (including eye drops)
for a prolonged period of time.
has high blood pressure
has poor circulation
has diabetes
has experienced chronic or recurring inflammation within the eye
has been diagnosed with "cupping" of the optic nerve
Q. Can I use Can-CTM to Prevent the onset of eye disorders such
as Cataracts and Retinal disease?
Yes, as a preventative measure and to maintain the good health of
the eye Dr. Babizhayev recommends one drop into each eye daily with
intermittent breaks or as directed by a physician.
Q. Will my cataract come back after it is gone?
Dr. Babizhayev recommends that intermittent use of N-acetylcarnosine
eye-drops continue even after the reduction or reversal of cataracts
because senile cataract is an on-going aging problem caused by low
anti-oxidant protection, high free radical production and the
process of auto-oxidative glycosylation etc. Keep in mind that the
same deficiency that allowed the cataract to form in the first place
will still be present when you discontinue use of the product. For
over all ocular health and cataract prevention, apply 1-drop into
each eye daily with intermittent breaks unless otherwise directed by
your physician.
Q. How long will one box of Can-CTM last?
If treating both eyes 1 box of Can-C will last 2 weeks and twice as
long if only treating one eye. A simple way to plan your use is to
know that you will need 1 box per eye, per month. Each box of Can-C
contains two 5ml vials and each 5ml vial contains approximately
75-drops. When used for cataracts, apply two drops into each
affected eye in the morning and then again at night time. When used
as a preventive measure or for maintenance purposes which is one
drop into each eye daily, one carton of Can-C will last for
approximately eight to ten weeks.
Q. Often when I apply eye drops some will run down my face. How
can I minimize any wastage?
This is a very common concern; however, even though some liquid may
run out of the eye as long as some of the liquid has been delivered
you will be okay. Even if you have moisture on your face after
applying the drops you have most likely still effectively delivered
more than you think into the eye. You can however minimize any
wastage with a little practice. There are two additional ways to
apply eye drops if you are experiencing difficulty with the more
traditional method and of course only personal experimentation will
allow you to find the method that most suits you.
Option 1: Gently pull the corner of your lower eye lid down and tilt
your head back. Apply 1 or 2 drops into the pocket formed by your
lower eyelid, but DON'T allow the tip to touch your eye or any other
surfaces. Repeat for your other eye if required.
Option 2: Some people prefer to apply drops this way: Close your
eye, apply 1 or 2 drops to the inner corner of your eye. Open your
eye and blink several times to spread the drops properly.
In all cases it is very important to apply very little pressure when
squeezing the eye drop bottle or a lot more will come out.
Q: I saw another N-acetylcarnosine website and they said that the
preservative Benzyl Alcohol is not good, is that true?
Definitely not true. Benzyl alcohol has long been utilized in ocular
formulations as an FDA approved preservative. In the clinical trials
conducted by Innovative Vision Products, five formulations were
tested with varying preservatives and sources of NAC. In the end
there was one that far surpassed all expectations and parameters.
Interestingly it was the formulation with the preservative benzyl
alcohol in combination with a unique source and purity level of NAC.
Those who are claiming that benzyl alcohol causes burning do not
understand the importance of the critical pH balance of ocular
formulations. It is the incorrect balance of pH that can result in
burning with some ocular formulations and not necessarily the
preservative. We have absolutely no complaints of burning with our
product in fact quite the opposite, which is why a large percentage
of our customers use Can-CTM for dry eye syndrome, contact lens use
and for eye strain relief. Remember it is this patented formulation
that was tested over time and proven in a clinical controlled
environment to reverse cataracts and resulted in no negative side
affects. Unfortunately there are a few companies who continue to
make attempts to circumvent Dr. Babizhayevs patent to avoid paying
royalties. Not only are they not utilizing the proprietary source of
NAC which is critical to the effectiveness of this formulation, they
have made changes to one or two of the excipient ingredients in
their attempts to get around his patent. Again to be sure that you
have purchased the approved formula look for the following statement
on the label of any product you have purchased. "N-acetylcarnosine
patented by Innovative Vision Products."
Can-C™ Ingredients:
N-Acetyl-Carnosine (NAC) 1.0% (approved by IVP)
Glycerin (lubricant) 1.0%
Carboxymethylcellulose sodium (lubricant) 0.3%
Excipients:
Sterile Water (Ophthalmic Grade Isotonic Solution, pH 6.3 to 6.5)
Buffers: Potassium Bicarbonate and Boric Acid
Purified Benzyl Alcohol (Preservative) 0.3%
Can-C™ is manufactured in a GMP
(Good Manufacturing Procedures) facility per FDA guidelines, however
only the lubricants (Carboxymethylcellulose sodium) and (glycerin)
are approved by the FDA for ophthalmic use, and can be listed as
active ingredients on our label. Can-C™ is not FDA approved for the
treatment of cataracts as the clinical trials have been conducted
primarily in Russia over the last decade; therefore N-Acetylcarnosine
(1%) is listed as an inactive ingredient on the label.
