User reviews about the drug

Anna, 19 years old . I buy Strix Forte for my mother. She has poor vision. She tried a variety eye vitamins(usually with blueberries). However, only this drug really helps her. The dots and spots flashing before the eyes disappear. She takes the course every two months and takes three tablets a day.

Yuri, 34 years old . On doctor's recommendation I started taking vitamin complex Strix Forte. I didn't really believe in its effectiveness. But after the course, the dizziness suddenly stopped, and the surrounding objects began to look clearer. The only one negative point- a bit expensive. But since it helps, sometimes you can spend money on your own vision.

Yulia, 23 years old . This vitamin remedy The doctor prescribed it for me. Satisfied with everything except the price.

Lyudmila, 36 years old . A friend of mine runs two pharmacies. She compared in her laboratory different drugs for eyes. Only Strix Forte has maximum dose blueberries From my own experience, I was convinced of the high effectiveness of these vitamins. I've been using them regularly for more than a year now. Of course they are not cheap. But this is not a home-made, cheap dietary supplement. At initial stage cataracts and computer fatigue, this remedy helps reduce cloudiness in the eyes.

Konstantin, 41 years old . My wife works a lot on the computer. Somehow she felt something was wrong with her eyes. We went to the ophthalmologist. He didn’t find anything serious, but recommended eye drops along with Strix Forte vitamins. We immediately bought a plate of 30 tablets from the pharmacy.

The packaging is not cheap, but the doctor convinced us that this product improves the condition of the blood vessels in the eyes and relieves fatigue. We have already started the course. We will wait for the results. It turns out that some of our friends have been taking these vitamins for a long time.

Lydia, 26 years old. At work I'm on the computer all the time. I never had any problems with my eyes before. But now they have appeared. Eye drops gave short-term results. Then I became interested biological additive Strix Forte.

Moreover, my employees have been using it for a long time. I took it for a month and seemed to feel some relief with my vision. But I think the price is too high.

Oksana, 28 years old. IN Lately My eyes began to get very tired. I drank the Strix. A little better, but I still get tired quickly. I was told that there are other Strix Forte vitamins with more high content blueberries and adding others useful components. I have already completed the course and have found a real improvement. My eyes no longer get tired and I can even look at the light easily (which I couldn’t do before because my eyes were watering). Now from time to time I will “prescribe” myself courses of this drug.
