EDITORIAL REVIEWS | Product Description If you have been diagnosed with cataracts, you may have been told that surgery is not needed until the condition significantly interferes with daily activities. If your physician has recommended postponing surgery, Similasan's unique "Active Response Formula" medicines stimulate the eye's natural ability to relieve symptoms of cataracts. Similasan Eye Drops provide healthy relief with no known side effects or drug interactions. Note: Regular exams by your eye doctor are necessary for monitoring your cataracts while using Similasan Cataract Care. This product is not a replacement for regular medical care. |

| Seems to works pretty well, but not a cure by Comdet 4 Stars November 15, 2009 I purchased this for my Mom who has cataracts. They are not at the point where surgery is warranted, but they still trouble her a bit. These drops help more than the other drops she has tried - makes her eyes more comfortable and seem to sharpen her vision a small amount.
I'm not sure if the drops actually help more than the typical/generic eye drops or if the benefits are more psychological than physiological. Regardless, they work for her and she's very pleased with the product. She uses them 2-3 times per day.
The manufacturer clearly states that this product is not a cure and that you should see a doctor before using them.
| | Hold on to your wallet by Eyedoc314 (Elk Grove, CA) 1 Stars February 16, 2009 When someone develops a clearly effective eye drop for cataracts, doctors will use it on themselves, their families, and their patients to reduce or eliminate the need for surgery. Despite some interesting research (and overblown marketing hype) we are not there yet, so the only thing likely to vanish with this homeopathic remedy is the money in your wallet.
Homeopathy is based on the insupportable idea that "Like treats like": a highly dilute form of a substance that would normally cause a symptom is claimed to cure it. The dilution factors used to achieve this are often so extreme that not a single molecule of the "active" ingredient remains, leaving one to wonder how any product can be effective with no active ingredient.
Even more disturbing, this company produces another homeopathic eye drop labeled as a treatment for "Pink Eye", even though this term commonly refers to eye infections. When a patient needing an ocular antibiotic delays treatment by using a homeopathic drop they risk serious damage to their eyes.
Eye doctors may someday treat cataracts with eye drops, for now they recommend cataract surgery because it works. This doesn't. Save your money.
