Guest guest Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 I've bought them twice, they helped my eyes. For the tiny amount you get, they are very expensive. But it (Can-C in Brite Eyes) did make my eyes feel better at a time when they were very painful. Before they discovered the (patentable) n-acetylated carnosine " prodrug " they had discovered that a buffered, optically pure solution for topical application containing plain old l-carnosine had positive effects on a number of parameters.. but commercially, that was a " blind alley " because legally, people could make it themselves. (although unless they knew what they were doing, they could easily end up damaging their eyes, instead of repairing them) I don't see any reason why a compounding pharmacist couldn't make it up and sell it, although it would have a very short shelf life without preservatives.. maybe 2-3 days.. A small amount of l-carnosine, used that way, could last a LONG time. One would need a very accurate scale, distilled water, salt, and maybe some kind of lubricant.. Or perhaps some OTC eye drops that already had same could have carnosine added to it, but I have been afraid to try this.
