How can vitamin B6 toxicity affect your eyes?
“Menopause and high intake of vitamin B6 were independent risk factors for development of posterior vitreous detachment, a retrospective case-control study found.” Read more: Menopause, Vitamin B6 Intake Associated with Posterior Vitreous Detachment
Here is a personal experience shared by our member, Lucy M.:
Thought I would share a positive. Two years ago my ophthalmologist gave me the bad news that he saw pre-macular degeneration proteins in my left eye on exam. Six months ago he told me they were now in my right eye as well. Since my mom developed macular degeneration in her 80’s, I have been concerned I would share the same eventual fate. Today when he examined my eyes, he told me me there were no proteins present in the right eye, and the left was greatly improved. He said he couldn’t explain it. I shared the b6 toxicity with him, and he was extremely interested and asked lots of questions. In my mind, it has to be stopping the supplement and detoxing with the protocol. The two year time frame lines up with when I first developed dry eyes and neck pain. A full year before the tinnitus and neuropathy began. I am feeling very relieved and validated with this objective finding.
