An urgent problem of modern man is a decrease in visual acuity, sometimes up to its complete loss. Elderly people, young people suffer from eye diseases, and similar pathologies occur in children. There are many reasons, including heredity, environmental conditions, nervous strain, complications after viral diseases. In this regard, medical researchers have an important task - the development of fundamentally new drugs that contribute to the restoration of vision without surgical intervention.
Large-scale medical project of the famous university
Periodically, drugs for various eye problems appear on the pharmaceutical market. Many of them are really quite effective, but most of them do not cure serious problems, they only slightly delay the development of the disease. Within the walls of one of the most famous oldest universities in the country - Moscow State University. Lomonosov - in this regard, a medical project was launched to develop a fundamentally new and effective medicine for eye diseases, including those caused by age-related changes.
It took about six years to develop the drug; three hundred scientists and 50 laboratories and institutes took part in the project. Nevertheless, the new medicine has an author - a world-famous scientist, academician Skulachev. Eye drops, reviews of which indicate that they are able to restore vision to some extent, are today a certified medical product and are actively sold through the official pharmacy network.
"Smart drug" directed action
The main function of a drug called Visomitin is to protect the cornea. Often, the cornea of the eye suffers from drying out, while a person experiences discomfort and a feeling of “sand in the eyes”, a burning sensation, often blinks, but relief does not occur for long. As a result, redness and painful appearance of the eye.
Skulachev's eye drops completely eliminate the symptoms of "dry eye syndrome", then they direct their action to the natural production of tears to further moisturize the eye and prevent the appearance of new symptoms. The author tested the new drug on himself - academician Skulachev. He used drops constantly throughout the year, before that he was diagnosed with cataracts. After the specified time, the doctors observing the eminent patient found that he no longer needed the operation. Professor Skulachev's eye drops primarily helped him to significantly improve his vision.
Promising drug research
To date, medical research has proven the moisturizing effect of eye drops "Visomitin", so this drug is used, primarily, as a keratoprotector. It is indicated for senile changes in the lacrimal gland, drying out of the eyes in people who spend a long time at the computer, eye diseases with the concomitant symptom of a dry eye.
Studies of the drug are ongoing, the main promising area is the ability to use Skulachev drops from cataracts. Clinical trials available today suggest that in some cases of cataract in patients, after applying the drops, the turbidity process was initially slowed down. This makes it possible to assume that Professor Skulachev's eye drops will be able to treat cataracts without surgery.
Application at this stage of research
However, an assumption remains an assumption when it becomes a fact - a matter of time. Therefore, ophthalmologists do not exclude this drug from the drug list for the treatment of symptoms of cataracts and glaucoma, but they recommend using drops of academician Skulachev as part of complex therapy along with other official anti-glaucomatous drugs that normalize intraocular pressure. The break between instillation of one and the other drug in the eyes should be at least ten minutes so that they function normally. "Visomitin", as a rule, is prescribed up to three times a day, 1-2 drops in a conjunctival sac. If another remedy is prescribed less frequently, then the remaining instillations are done only with Visomitin.
Use carefully ...
Like any drug, Skulachev eye drops have contraindications. First of all, this is the age of 18 years, so the medicine is not prescribed for the treatment of childhood eye diseases. Those patients who are hypersensitive to the components of the drug are also not prescribed "Visomitin" in order to avoid the occurrence of allergic reactions. The medicine is not used during pregnancy, as well as during lactation. In case of double instillations with different drugs, one observes the sensations; when a symptom such as blurred and blurred vision occurs, driving should be avoided during the treatment period.
Slowing down the aging of the whole body ... Myth?
The active substance contained in the eye drops "Visomitin" already in low concentrations has a fairly pronounced antioxidant effect. The author of a unique drug himself is sure that in addition to restoring vision, these eye drops help slow down the aging of the whole body. This opinion is based on the fact that in some diseases, biomolecules are damaged due to an increase in active oxygen. This leads to the fact that the cells of the body lose their protection. According to academician Skulachev, the introduction of "Visomitin" slows down the development of diseases such as cerebral stroke , heart attack, cardiac arrhythmia, as well as kidney problems.
The cure for such common ailments will slow down the aging of the body and significantly improve the quality of life. The fact that Professor Skulachev's eye drops contribute to the prevention of many diseases, data confirmed by official medicine does not exist. This can be taken as the assumption of the author-developer of the drug.
Useful properties of "Visomitin"
In addition to the assumptions, there are facts of useful directional action of the eye drops of the new generation. First of all, the antioxidant effect of "Visomitin" helps protect cells from the harmful effects of free radicals, significantly improves metabolic processes in the eye tissues. Drops of Professor Skulachev contribute to the normalization of the production of their own tears, increase the stability of the tear film, stop the degeneration of the lacrimal gland. With all this complex therapeutic effect, “Visomitin” relieves inflammation of the eyes in the form of redness, dryness, sensation of a foreign body. Existing drugs to eliminate the "dry eye syndrome" act on the principle of "artificial tear", so the patient requires frequent instillation. According to the principle of “natural tear,” only Skulachev's eye drops act. The reviews of patients who used the drug allow us to conclude that its effect is longer, and frequent instillations are not required.
Elderly patients and Visomitin
The specificity of elderly patients is that their body does not tolerate all drugs; various side effects or allergic reactions may occur during administration. In the instructions for the use of many drugs, you can read that they are contraindicated in the elderly or recommended for use under close medical supervision. There are no such warnings for the use of Visomitin. According to the developers, elderly patients tolerate Skulachev's eye drops well. Reviews are mostly positive. People actively recommend the remedy to each other, and many really observe positive dynamics in themselves.
Positive dynamics in the elderly
Some patients who have been diagnosed with age-related cataracts have begun preparations for lens replacement surgery . Usually, doctors give about two months for preparatory procedures in the form of instillations. Upon learning of the new drug, the elderly used drops for Skulachev's eyes . Reviews confirm that after five months of treatment, the doctors canceled the surgery, fixing a decrease in cataract size.
There are some patients who did not notice any changes after a three-month course of instillation with Visomitin. The developers claim that this drug has a mild and, accordingly, slow action. Therefore, it should be used regularly and for a long time. The reviews of some patient patients confirm this opinion. Many point to significant improvements in a year or more as a result of regular use of drops. It is because of the non-aggressive effect of the drug that it is especially suitable for the elderly. Many call this remedy "Skulachev's drops from old age." Reviews patients older than 70 years allow us to conclude that people regularly use drops to prevent cardiovascular problems.
"Visomitin" and the younger generation
Unfortunately, vision problems occur not only in older people. And young people increasingly notice serious visual impairment. An increasing number of patients are turning their attention to Skulachev drops. Reviews of young people indicate the observed positive dynamics and effectiveness of the drug.
Some patients notice a slight burning sensation in the eyes at the beginning of the course, which disappears after a couple of weeks. The developers pay attention to the fact that this is not a pathology, such a manifestation is associated with the physiological state of the mucosa. Positive reviews also apply to those young people who are forced to work a lot at the computer. Those who did not believe in the effectiveness of the drug, however, noted that after several weeks the pain in the eyes completely disappeared, the redness left. There have also been cases of improved vision in patients with retinal detachment, although many admit that they are no longer in a hurry to see a doctor, as they have become much better at seeing. It is not possible to fix officially the improvement in these cases, as well as to determine the real state of vision.
The opinion of ophthalmologists about the drug
Recently, an increasing number of doctors specializing in ophthalmology recommend "Visomitin" to their patients. He began to meet especially often in the practice of ophthalmologists after he officially added the eye drops of Professor Skulachev to the list of drugs for the treatment of age-related cataracts and glaucoma. Doctors 'reviews show that their patients' condition improved significantly as a result of instillations with these drops. Ophthalmologists claim that it is already impossible to cure age-related cataracts with drops, however, it is quite possible to compensate and improve the state of vision.
Compliance with storage rules is the key to the effectiveness of the drug
There are several negative reviews, the analysis of which revealed that the patient incorrectly kept Skulachev's eye drops. These reviews concerned the lack of effectiveness of the drug, but the developers pointed out the patient’s mistake: the drug is stored in the refrigerator. Storage at room temperature is allowed for no more than two days, however, direct sunlight and even light from lamps should be avoided. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to be sure that Skulachev’s eye drops were properly stored in the pharmacy. Reviews of the ineffectiveness of the drug, subject to the rules of storage by the patient, suggest the violations committed by the pharmacist in the pharmacy, which can lead to poor quality of the drug.
