Key Findings
- The study by the University of Molise tested Laurus Nobilis eye drops on cataracts in suckling rabbits
- Laurus Nobilis eye drops significantly reduced oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation in the treated rabbits
- The findings suggest Laurus Nobilis eye drops could be a cost-effective, non-surgical alternative for cataract prevention, especially in regions with limited access to surgery
