Are MSM Eye Drops Safe?

Methyl Sulfonyl Methane (MSM) is an organic sulfur compound found in living organisms. It can also be consumed in fresh foods, although cooking or processing destroys it. According to SpiritOfHealing.com, MSM can help alleviate cataracts and glaucoma.

Side Effects

• According to SpiritOfHealing.com, the only known side effect of MSM is the rapid growth of fingernails and toenails.

Overdoses

• Excess MSM passes harmlessly from the body, according to SpiritOfHealing.com. The website claims no known toxic effects and the substance being safe at any dosing level.

Cells

• MSM eyedrops contribute to the flexibility of cell walls. Rigid cell walls in the eye can cause vision problems, according to MSMSupplement.org.

Optical Nutrition

• The less rigid cell walls may improve vision, but they may also improve eye health. Soft membranes improve the movement of fluids and nutrition in the eye, according to OralChelation.com.

Glaucoma

• Rigid cell walls don’t allow fluids to exit the eye. The disease glaucoma is defined as a buildup of pressure in the eye.
