This product was developed in Russia and is called called Nu-Eyes, also
Can-C.

Does anyone know if this product advertised as a cure for cataracts is
safe to try?

The other question you should be asking is "Does it work?"  If you read the
scant published evidence available, you will find that it has been tested on
very few people and that the research has all been done by people with a
financial interest in the drops.

I have used Nu-Eyes (N-acetylcarnosine) drops for 7 months and there has been
no effect, as far as I can tell.  Two ophthalmologists diagnosed cataracts.
One eye has double vision and the other tends to see a foggy blur.  So it was
very disappointing to spend over $500, taking the drops exactly as specified
(even stopping lutein supplements) and feel that I am at best standing still
or slowly declining further.  I am 66, but have no other health problems.  I
don't know if it is a ripoff, scam, poor reasearch and agressive marketing,
or something unique to me, but I think folks should shout out what their
experiences have been and not just depend on selected "testimonials" at the
vendor's web site.
