Holistic approach to dry eye/strain safe?
I purchaed two holistic eyedrops from the website, naturaleyecare (dot com) . One of them is for dry eye, the other for floaters, blephartis, optic neuritis, eye infections, computer eye strain, fuch's dystrophy, keratoconus. I have suffered from both dry eye and eye strain for as long as I can remember. I am a healthy 22 yo male, I eat well, am in good shape, and am well hydrated. I do, however, have hypoglycemia although I am not sure if that is relevant. I have tried traditional eyedrops to no avail and have used holistic approaches to my general health. I am a bit nervous to do so with my eyes because of the obvious necessity of them... Both drops do seem to be safe enough but I'm certainly no doctor. Below are the ingredients of both drops. Perhaps some folks here can evaluate the ingredients/claims or can comment on these or similar treatments if you are familar with them.
Thanks,
Mike

What is the differential advantage of these drops? Homeopathic eye drops have the advantage of relieving symptoms by addressing the underlying cause, rather than masking symptoms or artificially replacing fluids.
MSM Eyedrops 1 oz (30ml)
Ingredients are as follows: Oxygenated water, Saline, Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) MSM, a natural occuring sulfur in the body.
Your skin is like a water balloon. The outer tissue normally allows fluids to flow through the membrane wall, which acts like a filter supplying nutrition and cleaning out particles keeping your epidermis clear so your veins are good. When the membranes become tough like leather, the fluids are trapped and the particles start to build up. If the build up continues it will seem as if you are looking through a frosted glass.
MSM Eyedrops soften the membranes, allowing fluids to pass through the outer layer of the tissues. When tissue membranes become permeable, nutrition is able to penetrate through the outer layer and provide the nutrients needed for the body to heal itself.*
MSM softens leathery tissue, equalizes pressures, repairs damaged membranes, clears up red spots and broken vessels, helps remove blemishes and other tissue particles.*
MSM Eyedrops provide the cellular nutrition necessary to make the outer tissues soft and permeable...
