Healing Eye Injuries with Hydrogen and Antioxidants

Researchers in Japan have found that hydrogen and N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine can help heal eye injuries from alkali burns by reducing oxidative stress. This breakthrough could lead to new treatments for severe eye injuries. The study used a mouse model and treated the injury with hydrogen and NAC through irrigation with electrolyzed water.
