It has been studied that myopia progression can be almost stopped via daily administration of Berberine. However i have learnt this fact when it was too late for me and I have failed to find a pharmacological reversal. Although retinalamin might have some potential. It would be interesting to see wether Berberine potentiate the presented method. Although i have been without glasses for a whole year and I was nearly blind after a few meters, this has not reversed my myopia so??


What is the mechanism of this? Can you link sources?


It's Bilberry, not Berberine, I always confuse the two.. Here's the study. I have no idea wether the mechanism is from a classical antioxidant/anti-inflammatory/senolytic/pro autophagic mechanism or if bilberry has a unique action mechanism. The field is so underfunded I expect most regular protectors (e.g. Skq1) to have similar or greater effects but i can't be certain.
