I haven't heard of any herbal component of this program.

More on eye exercises and "training".

There is a product that is a transdermal patch set that is intended to support the eyes called Oculax. Although it is not marketed in the US for eyesight improvement, the original study in China with 630 people showed improvement in by at least two lines on the eye chart by more than 90 percent of participants. This was conducted at Beijing 301 Hospital and Tianjin 272 Hospital. A further study in the US of 220 ethnic Chinese people showed similar results, with the greatest effectiveness in the age groups under 60. (private communication with Dr. Liqin Sun). I don't know the citation for Chinese language publication.

They are sold as eye relaxing patches in the US. Probably this would be useful to those of us who use computer terminals and televisions a lot.

I think this loses something with translation. Or is Oculax also a diuretic? :)

I wonder whether the Oculax patch is simply scoplomine, an anti cholinergic drug used to prevent motion sickness that is available as a patch. It has a side effect of relaxing accommodation.

Accommodation is the process of flexing the lens inside the eye which allows for clear near vision. In some young (under 35) people, the lens may be always slightly flexed, about 0.50 to 0.75 D which causes "pseudomyopia", or about 0.50 to 0.75D of nearsightedness. Wearing the patch would relax this, which would cause about a two line improvement in acuity.

So, lundpix, if you were thinking of using it to relieve eye strain on the computer, you will find it makes the strain worse. Drug store +1.00 reading glasses used for computer work will relax the lens and muscles while keeping the print clear. (But they will blur distance while reading or on the computer)
