C-NAC

Uses
C-NAC (Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose/N-Acetyl-Carnosine) eye drops have recently gained popularity based on reported benefits in the treatment of senile cataracts. Other conditions which it may be useful at treating include disorders of the cornea, blurry vision, certain types of glaucoma, diseases of the retina, ocular inflammation, presbyopia, strained eyes, computer vision syndrome, dry eye syndrome and various other conditions.

These eye drops contain NAC (N-Acetyl-Carnosine) which helps to deliver L-carnosine into an area of the eye called the aqueous humor. As a result of this, proteins in the structural lens are protected from oxidation. It can also help to increase the action of certain antioxidant enzymes in the lens of the eye.
