> Visomitin (Emoxipine/Mexidol) eye drops are a Russian-developed antioxidant medication known for treating dry eyes, fatigue, radiation damage, and improving vision

I wouldn't recommend it. A quick search shows that it's not proven to do anything at all but it's also advertised as being the cure for parkinson's, asthma, back pain, high cholesterol levels, anxiety, blood clots, glaucoma, and Huntington’s disease while also making you smarter and improving your memory. This sounds like classic snake oil. Something I'd expect to see being sold alongside Horny Goat Weed and kratom at a gas station rather than an actual medication dispensed by a pharmacist. As fucked up as the American healthcare system is I guess you really have to hand it to Russia sometimes.
