Readers know where to buy cataract eye drops

DEAR DR. GOTT: I found a place online to order Longevity Science’s Visual Ocuity eyedrops. I just received them and hope they work, but I know others had written you about where to get them, so I wanted to share. I got mine from www.Gaines.com. You can also call 1-800-833-9440. The eyedrops cost $24.47 for two vials.

DEAR READER: Thank you for sharing this information. I received several other emails on the day you sent yours providing this website as a purchasing source. I also received a few that ordered them from www.IntegratedHealth.com.
