The Power of Prayer and Science for Better Vision:
A Faithful Formula for Rev. Russ Sacco’s Improved Eye Health
Real Science – Real People – Real Results
An Inspirational Testimony from Rev. Russ Sacco of New York
Every so often, we are blessed to receive a story that moves us deeply and reminds us why our mission matters.
Today, we are honoured to share an inspirational testimony from Rev. Russ Sacco of New York.
His recent journey with Ethos Vision’s N-acetyl Carnosine eye drops and Ethos Carnosine Powder, alongside faith and prayer, offers incredible hope for those facing eye health challenges.

Rev. Russ Sacco, a minister and devoted man of faith has been fighting cataracts and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) for a number of years. A breakthrough came not only through prayer, but through the science of natural healing.
When traditional treatments threatened to become a permanent part of his life, he turned to Ethos Vision and witnessed a transformation in just a few months.
Rev. Russ’s experience stands as a testament to the potential of natural solutions, the power of prayer, and the trust that so many have placed in the Ethos Vision family.
Here is the email we received from Rev. Russ, word for word:

Eye Healing Update
Hello Mark,
You might remember I’m an ordained minister and have been praying. Well, I believe God is answering. I started using N-acetyl Carnosine drops for cataracts on June 20, this year and started taking Carnosine Powder on Aug. 4th.
Today, appox. 10 weeks later, I had a Retina Specialist follow-up to check AMD status. I also have an operable cataract in my left eye and smaller one in my right eye.
I received a good report this morning, and I’m believing for even better as time progresses. God led me to Ethos Vision, and I know His natural substances work in line with His healing power.
My last Retina Spec. visit was 3 months earlier when my doctor decided to omit administering an eye injection, which I had received multiple times before at approx. two-month intervals.
Today’s app’t. was scheduled at three months. Here’s the good news: there is no leakage in the eye – no need for an eye injection. The retina itself is remaining stable.
Eye chart reading improved from 20/50 in both eyes to 20/30 in the right eye and 20/40 in the left eye, which had the larger cataract. The doctor extended my next follow-up from three months to four – January, 2026.
I will have a follow up with my ophthalmologist in November and anticipate good news when he checks cataracts.
I am thanking God and wanted you to know the important part Ethos Vision is playing in God’s healing plan.
I’ve been administering two drops in each eye three times daily and intend to continue. In fact, I just ordered two more boxes. I take two spoons of Carnosine Powder sipped daily in juice or water throughout the day every day, as instructed
Stay blessed and please join me in thanking God for healing others and myself with your faithfully prepared products. He has only begun to reveal the manifestation of His healing.
Continued blessings on you and all at Ethos Vision.
Rev. Russ Sacco, NY, USA

No More Leaks and Clearer Vision – How?
Rev. Russ Sacco’s remarkable improvements—no leakage in his retina and better vision after using Ethos Carnosine Powder and Ethos Bright Eyes N-acetyl-carnosine (NAC) eye drops.
This can either be be explained by the power of prayer, or by the way these natural substances protect and strengthen the eyes through science-backed antioxidant and anti-glycation effects.
Or both!
How N-acetyl-carnosine Eye Drops Work
-
NAC eye drops contain a form of carnosine that can penetrate the eye, unlike regular carnosine.
-
Inside the eye, NAC is converted to L-carnosine, a powerful antioxidant that shields eye cells from damaging molecules called free radicals.
These molecules (free radicals) are linked to aging and eye diseases like cataracts and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) because they cause oxidative stress, harm proteins, and speed vision loss.
Mechanisms That May Stop Leakage
-
Antioxidant defense: L-carnosine works as a protector by reducing oxidative stress in the retina and lens. This antioxidant action stabilizes blood vessels and limits leakage—the main problem in “wet” AMD.
-
Anti-glycation: L-carnosine prevents sugar molecules from sticking to proteins (glycation), which makes tissues stiffer and weaker. By stopping glycation, NAC helps keep vessels and lens tissues flexible and healthy.
Barrier support: By defending against oxidative and glycation damage, NAC may help the retina keep its protective barrier strong, preventing leaks into the eye.
Clinical Effects Demonstrated
-
Clinical studies found that people using NAC eye drops for cataracts and diabetic eye complications often saw better vision and less need for strong treatments or surgery.
Many users, like Rev. Sacco, report sharper eye-chart results, reduced glare, and slow or halted progression of vision loss over months of regular use.
Why The Results Make Sense
-
Although most research is on cataracts, the science suggests similar protective effects can help people with AMD, as both involve oxidative stress and protein damage.
-
There’s growing evidence that regular use of NAC drops, especially combined with oral carnosine, delivers ongoing antioxidant protection—possibly leading to fewer eye injections and longer periods without leakage.
Rev. Sacco’s improvement in eye chart results and longer follow-up intervals with his doctor fits with what’s reported by thousands who use these products worldwide.
What Scientific Evidence Supports Carnosine’s Role in Eye Disease Treatment?
Multiple scientific studies and clinical trials support carnosine’s role—especially as N-acetylcarnosine (NAC) eye drops—in the treatment and prevention of major eye diseases like cataracts, retinal degeneration, and potentially age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Key Evidence and Clinical Research
-
Randomized controlled trials: Studies with hundreds of patients show that NAC eye drops improve visual acuity and glare sensitivity in up to 90% of eyes affected by cataracts, sustaining benefits for up to 24 months, and are well-tolerated with no serious side effects.
-
Large clinical cohort: Over 50,000 patients with diabetic eye issues or age-related cataract included in a clinical experiment showed clear improvements in visual function and lens clarity using NAC eye drops.
-
Retinal degeneration models: Preclinical studies in mouse models demonstrated that NAC, as a prodrug, penetrates the eye and releases carnosine, which then helps slow retinal cell damage and oxidative stress, potentially rescuing photoreceptor cells.
Mechanisms of Action
-
Antioxidant protection: Carnosine and NAC act as powerful antioxidants, scavenging damaging molecules called reactive oxygen species (ROS) in both the watery and fatty parts of the eye, which is essential in limiting the progression of cataracts and other degenerative eye diseases.
-
Anti-glycation: Carnosine prevents the cross-linking of proteins caused by sugar molecules (glycation), slows the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), and stops harmful protein aggregation in the lens—crucial for maintaining lens transparency.
-
Cellular repair: Topical or injected NAC can increase photoreceptor layer thickness, suggesting possible repair and protection against further degeneration.
Scientific Consensus
-
NAC eye drops are unique in that they deliver carnosine to the eye tissues efficiently, overcoming barriers regular carnosine cannot pass (like the cornea), and are metabolically activated on-site to deliver antioxidant and repair benefits where they’re most needed.
There is growing support for NAC eye drops as a non-surgical, safe method for cataract management and prevention, and research is expanding into their use for retinal diseases and AMD.
Summary
By using Ethos carnosine powder and Ethos NAC eye drops, Rev. Russ Sacco is giving his eyes extra protection against aging, cataracts, and AMD.
Ethos Carnosine products help his eyes fight off damage, repair themselves, and keep blood vessels strong—possibly the reason he no longer has retinal leakage and is seeing better than before.
While more research is needed for AMD, real-world experiences and science show that the results he’s seeing match how these natural eye products defend and restore vision.
