I’ve reading about the gut- eye axis. Regardless-whether you are taking good eye supplements like lutein - if you are consuming bad foods that stress the eye then you just treading water. Been reading about eye bacteria too - the proliferation of bad bacteria damaging the eye in vascular AMD- mentioned in this NIH article:

Avoid:
French fries & potato chips (acrylamide, AGEs, oxidized oils)
It’s annoying to see companies go for temporary solutions like this. These Vizz eyedrops don’t cure presbyopia or fix it, they just temporary improve it by causing muscle contractions in the iris muscle. If they really wanted to fix it they would attack the root cause of it, a main one being stiffening of the lens with aging.
There are actually interventions that could reduce that stiffening (lipoic acid choline ester) and improve vision and such treatments would actually cause a long-term improvement rather than just a temporary improvement. It’s frustrating that the companies are not trying to develop lipoic acid choline ester drops or similar tretatments. Maybe part of the reason is that it’s more profitable to market something that people will need to take every day rather than something that actually cures the condition.
