A member asked:
Is it safe to take vitamins if i have a detached retina and cataracts in both eyes? i tried using eye drops (brand was can-c) for my cataracts and they seemed to make my eye with just a cataract worse?

It is safe to take vitamins but none would help with the retinal detachment nor cataract.

There are no drops, vitamins or supplements of any kind that will treat cataracts or retinal detachments. Cataracts (that are visually significant and unusual at age 33) and retinal detachments require surgical correction.
