Is it possible to use Taufon eye drops for treating children?

Numerous electronic devices have an adverse effect on the organs of vision, greatly increasing the load on them. The growth of visual load leads to an increase in eye diseases. Our article is devoted to the use of drops "Taufon" for the treatment of children.

Drops "Taufon" can be called a universal remedy for the treatment and prevention of diseases such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism. Their periodic use prevents the occurrence of many problems.

Eye drops “Taufon” are prescribed to restore eye tissue, if the changes are metabolic and dystrophic. The release form of the 4% solution is a bottle with a volume from 1.5 to 10 ml. The cap can be made both in the form of a dropper, and without it, which requires the use of an eye dropper. Taufon is also produced in tubes, so the patient can choose the type of packaging that is more convenient for him to use.

1 ml of solution contains 40 mg of taurine - the main active ingredient. The solution can be both colorless and yellowish colored. Taurine is an amino acid formed in the body. But in modern conditions, a person is almost always in an electromagnetic field, slowing down its synthesis.

Taurine slows down the formation of cataracts, improves regenerative processes, stimulates nerve impulses. With a sufficient amount of it in the cells of the eye tissue increases the supply of potassium, calcium, lipid metabolism is improved, the extracellular membranes are not destroyed. Taurine enters the blood in microscopic doses and practically does not oxidize in the body. Excreted through the kidneys.

The substance is well studied, it is successfully used in the production of milk formulas for baby food. Taurine is especially necessary in infants up to 3 months of age, since it participates in the construction of the nervous system and the brain, the eye retina. Taurine improves the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and vital elements such as calcium and magnesium. Its presence in the blood increases the body's defense against antioxidants, helps strengthen the immune system.
