Abstract
N-acetyl carnosine (NAC) drops have been proposed for the treatment of age-related cataracts but “[t]here is currently no convincing evidence that NAC reverses cataract.” 1 A 2019 study failed to improve cataracts using lanosterol. 2 Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) decreases ocular inflammation 3 and it is a well-known carrier.
