Is the ingredient in this product (N-acetyl-L-carnosine, has a "L" in the name ) the same as what CAN-C eye drops uses (N-acetylcarnosine)? Thank you!

The ingredient in both appears to be the same. The Vision Clarity drops specify that the ingredient is N-acetyl-carnosine. An "L" in the ingredient name would indicate that it is a left-handed molecule. Many organic compounds have both an R and an L configuration. Typically, only one of the configurations is produced as a naturally occurring compound. When both configurations are present, it generally signifies that the compound has been synthesized in a process that produces both configurations.

I don't know why in Amazon was written "with carnosine". Carnosine is not among the ingredients in the sticker. There are many other ingredients helpful for the eyes. My husband use these pellets together with the eye drops with Cineraria and he likes them. He has improvements in his vision, but improvements are on steps. You have improvement for a period of time, after that no, after that again a new improvement, and so on. He has a very beginning of a cataract and Age related macular degeneration.

I'm unaware of this ingredient in the product. I have used the product for about 6 weeks and have had no issues with discomfort, nor any improvement in my vision yet.

Hi Eva. Thanks for asking. The short answer is NO, Niacinamide is not the proper product for eye wrinkles. The closest product we have right now for that is the Vitamin C Serum but I would recommend you some caution as you don't want to get the serum in contact with your eye. We're planning to launch a proper cream within the next 2 months and would love to send you coupon for a significant discount. Please stay tuned!

Hay also.....I just noticed that Amazon has them on sale right now for $13.20! The Enisyl-F Lysine ones, that is!!! And I wondered something else for you.....my Vet, a long time ago, said that I could ALSO use a mild over the counter eye drop whenever needed. Just ask your Pharmacist, they will be able to tell you which one to use!!!

It's broken down to low dosage. I wouldn't take it by mouth as it could cause problems, if not death. Some RX med's also contain Belladonna. I've been using these eye drops for years and have not had any reaction. Talk to your doctor first before starting these eye drops.

Here are all the ingredients-Active-Sodium Chloride 5%, inactive mineral oil,lanolin,purified water and white Petroleum. This is the product my Cornea specialist recommended and I have been using it every night for almost a year now and no side effects.

Gosh I have so many eye drops and gels around. I think this one is at work and I think it IS preservative free. I would not purchase it otherwise. Check out your local drug store. There are also some good store brands. That said, I love this gel. (You can't quite see for a few minutes:)

The bottle shows the ingredients are: Vitamin C (as Ester-C Calcium Ascorbate), Calcium (as Ester-C Calcium Ascorbate) plus C-Sorb Citrus Bioflavonoids Complex, Citrus Bioflavonoids, Sweet Orange, Tangerine, Lime, Lemon, Acerola, Rutin, Hesperidin Complex, Naturally Occurring Vitamin C Metabolites. So no, I don't see ascorbic acid as an ingredient, but I don't know what Calcium Ascorbate is, is it the same thing?

The active ingredients of Optive eye drops are carbomethylcellulose sodium 0.5% and glycerin 0.9%. No inactive ingredients are listed; no mention of preservatives are mentioned. It's my opinion that there are no preservatives. You can double check, though, at refreshbrand.com.

L-Lysine, which was reccomended by my vet is the main ingredient although at a much lower amount then what my vet had suggested. It only has 250 mg and the stuff my vet sold was more expensive but also contained a lot more L-lysing. I thought it helped her eye problems at first but now I wondering if the issue is more seasonal. The other ingredients are chicken liver flavor, starch,water, soy lecithin,canola oil, brewer's yeast, ground malted barley, ground rye groats, oat meal, calcium sulfate, maltodextrin, sodium alginate, sorbic acid(preservative), propionic acid(Preservatiive), and mixed tocopherol blend(Preservative) Good Luck!

Hello,I cannot answer your question as I'm not an expert in eye creams and don't understand what different ingredients actually do. What I do know is this item smells absolutely wonderful!! However, I did not buy it for the scent. I thought it was overpriced for the small amount I received and I did not see any results after using the entire tube.

From the Livestrong website: Regardless of whether or not the "L" shows up in front of ascorbate or ascorbic acid, all vitamin C has an "L" designation. This provides biochemists with information about the specific orientation of the atoms that comprise ascorbic acid and ascorbate. As such, L-ascorbic acid is chemically identical to ascorbic acid, and L-ascorbate is chemically identical to ascorbate--all naturally occurring vitamin C has an "L" configuration of atoms, explain Drs. Mary Campbell and Shawn Farrell in their book "Biochemistry."

I believe the l-lysine is the same but this dosage/formula is specific to animals. I would ask your vet or the company for additional info.

I'm not sure if it contains retinol or not, but I wasn't impressed with the product at all. I didn't see any difference. I went back to using OTC creams for my face and for eye wrinkles, I use Sudden Change. Bought it at Walmart for $12. I use only a small drop and it works! If you try it, use only a small amount and be careful not to get it in your eye.

I bought this as a well-absorbed antioxidant as part of a cataract-reversal protocol for my father which also included carnitine eye drops. If you go to company website you will find more info, I believe.
