Glutathione is widely distributed in vivo eye. It has higher content in the lens of eyes tissue and the cornea. Glutathione can be used for the treatment of various types of cataract at early stage.

It has good repair and protection for some important enzymes in the lens so that the enzyme activity will be restored. The pharmaceutical raw materials protect water-soluble proteins from oxidation and prevent the occurrence and development of cataract.

Cataract divided into congenital and acquired. Congenital cataracts,Glutathione averts development of cataract  Articles more than existed before and after birth, a small part of gradually formed after birth, and more genetic diseases, both endogenous and exogenous two types of endogenous fetal developmental disorders, exogenous maternal or fetal systemic disease caused by the damage caused by lens. Congenital cataracts be divided into anterior polar cataract, posterior pole cataract around the nuclear cataract and cataract. The first two without treatment, the latter two need surgical treatment. Acquired cataracts after birth due to systemic diseases or local eye disease, nutritional and metabolic abnormalities, poisoning, degeneration and trauma reasons due to the opacity of the lens.

Elderly patients suffering from diseases of the eye, particularly in the use of glutathione to pay attention and can not be used. Elderly patients with eye disease systemic functions of the system have different levels of degradation, and its common physiological changes are the total number of cells is small, the total protein content and intracellular water to reduce the performance degradation. These physiological changes directly affect the reaction of the body to the outside world and the metabolism of drugs, making senile eye medication has its own specialty. Therefore, the elderly should proper use the glutathione.

Glutathione can exist in almost all animal cells, in normal circumstances, glutathione exists based on the redox state (GSH) is the human body is very important bioreduction factor. Especially in detoxification, cell regulation, protein synthesis, regulation of gene expression and the protection of other organelles, proteins, antioxidants, free radical damage play an important role in the changes in its content and the generation of many diseases are closely related, especially in ophthalmology diseases, cataract and glutathione levels in the body and its decline in the activity of pathogenic is an important factor.

Therefore, to improve the plasma concentration of glutathione in patients is the focus of research in recent years, drugs used to treat cataract. But there will be some adverse reactions to the use of glutathione, such as pain, moments of upper abdominal burning or itchy eyes, within the affordable range in patients with enhanced tolerance and the drug over time. Adverse reactions will gradually disappear.

Glutathione has significant treatment effect on keratitis caused by the herpes zoster virus, mild or moderate dry eye, punctate corneal epithelial lesions caused by the PRK postoperative, mechanical and chemical corneal epithelial defect and corneal foreign body removal rust calm disease. The effect is not so clearly on corneal erosion caused by unknown reasons. If you want to buy glutathione, the topical application and the treatment for anti-virus, anti-bacterial can effectively shorten the course of the disease and accelerate the healing of corneal epithelial lesions. Total effective rate of clinical treatment of corneal epithelial lesions in 14 days is 89.5%.
