Topics around LentoNit® K
Area of application
By regularly moisturising the eye with LentoNit® K, you can counteract some of the factors that are also responsible for senile cataract. Antioxidants (such as iodide) serve as protection against oxidative stress, reacting with the free radicals in the tear film and rendering them harmless. Antioxidants - also known as "radicals catchers" – cannot be produced by the body itself.
Scientific studies show that the use of iodide-containing eye drops has a positive effect on chronic eye diseases such as cataract² or dry eye³.
