Question: What is your view on my situation? My ophthalmologist tells me the vitreous humor in my right eye is detached, I also have "floaters". He told me this is an ageing thing and "nothing can be done for either of these things so get used to it, and expect the other eye to suffer the same fate". What do you say? I am a 60yr old female.


Answer: I'm sorry to hear about your eye problem. To be honest; I haven't come across any natural supplement that has been specifically researched for vitreous humour related problems, although the professional associations might have some ideas about doctors specialising in natural eye health eg

A nutrient you might also like to look out for however is lutein. Last week I listened to a lecture given by Dr Stuart Richer in the USA. If you key his name into Google (along with ‘lutein') you should find lots of information about his strong work in the eye health area with lutein and the other carotenoid known as Zeaxanthin.

Based upon the exiting research in the use of these and other antioxidant nutrients in defending the macular region of the retina and lens of the eye, I formulated a product called Herron Vision Enhance. As I mentioned, it does not have an indication for the vitreous humor but should you be looking for a supplement to help in maintaining general eye health, you might like to consider this one a day, high potency new product.

# Lutein and Zeaxanthin are the nutrients that are actually stored in the retina
