    Dubois VD, Bastawrous A

    Published in Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews

    Methodology

    Cochrane systematic review of randomised trials of N-acetylcarnosine eye drops for age-related cataract

    Key Findings

    Available trials were small and at high risk of bias; there is no reliable evidence that N-acetylcarnosine drops reverse or slow cataract

    Conclusions

    Evidence is insufficient to support N-acetylcarnosine drops for cataract

    Limitations

    Very few eligible trials, largely from a single research group

    Supplements Studied

    L-Carnosine
    Compound

    The protein, L-carnosine, is known to have an antioxidant effect on the cataractous lens.
