Now to the latest EyeClarity episode. It's Dr. Sam, and I'd like to welcome you to another podcast, 2020 I talk. This is a show that helps you take better care of your eyes and vision, your brain and your body, giving you health and wellness tips. I'm so excited to be here. I've been on the road a couple days, driving and seeing some beautiful sights in the desert Southwest. But I'm back in the saddle and home, happy to be here with my family, getting ready to launch so many new things. But I want to jump into our question and answer today because I'm getting amazing questions. I love it. People are really reaching out, sharing their vulnerability, and they're looking for answers. They're obviously not getting them. So let's start with Fran.

She's asking a question. What's the difference between MSM drops versus 5% sodium chloride ophthalmic solution? And she uses a second ointment at night. At day and night called fresh Cote, K-O-T-E because she had cataract surgery five years ago, and the doctor left a piece in it, and she's having to wash it out later. There's also some inflammatory response going on, and she's got a wrinkle in her retina. She also has very blurry vision in. That eye and a cataract growing in the other eye. So, wow, she's got a lot going on.

Alright, let me see if I can give you some help. So we know that cataracts specifically are a metabolism problem in the lens of the eye, free radical damage. We're not getting enough oxygenation and hydration. The mitochondria are not producing enough ATP, and so metabolic waste accumulates in the lens of the eye. Usually, cataract surgery is a really slam dunk. Great surgery, 99.99% success. But here you're sharing, Fran, that you had some complications, and this has led to inflammation and even a wrinkle on the retina.

Okay, so, first of all, the sodium chloride, the 5% sodium chloride, and the fresh kote that you're taking are pharmaceutical drugs. And there's lots of side effects to those. Everything from eye irritation, redness, blurred vision, difficulty breathing, lots of issues going on. I've even had people, in terms of the 5% sodium chloride, their eye will swell up. They get rashes, they get hives.

So the difference between those two pharmaceuticals and MSM, eyedrops is MSM definitely is an anti-inflammatory agent. It's a natural sulfur product that is found in your body. So that would be the one that I would use. I would also, however, continue looking for really good eye nutrients. So for the wrinkle and the retina. I would definitely amp up my lutein and Zeaxanthin . I have a really good eye formula.
