Can I Have Carbernet While Having Dry Eyes And Trying To Lose Weight?
I am on a diet trying to loose weight. I am 68 years old. I just read that drinking red wine helps prevent or could prevent alzheimers. I also have dry eye syndrome and am miserable with it and suppose to have cataract surgery in 2 weeks. I bought a bottle of Carbernet and is that good, bad or should I not at this time. I have lost 18 lbs since Dec. 26.

Hi,welcome to the HCM,
Brief..There is no connection between carbernet wine and dry eyes or weight loss.
Detail...Since You have not mentioned that why you are trying to loose weight,Are you over weight,do you have high cholestrol problem or else.
If you want to know about wine,then studies have shown that consuming moderate amount of wine could decrease bad cholestrol,and prevent from some infection and damage of DNA.?But having it regularly and increased amount can harm further. Now the choice is yours.
To prevent from miserability of dry eyes ,you can use artificial tears to maintain the moisturizer of your eyes and prevent from infection or damage to the lens.
Hopefully my answer will be helpfull.
Regards,Dr.Maheshwari

Good day and thanks for the question. The use of Carbernet has nothing to do with your dry eye syndrome, you can go ahead and have it and it actually contains a compound that reduces the risk factors associated with Alzheimiers. For your dry eye syndrome, avoid having excessive air movement by decreasing the speed of ceiling fans and/or oscillating fans, avoid dusty areas. I wish you a safe surgery.
Hope it helps. Thank you.
