The medical industry has repeatedly lowered the bar as to who and what level is considered high cholesterol, and in doing so vastly increases the number of potential customers for all sorts of cholesterol lowering drugs. Perhaps some people do need these drugs, but millions are likely playing someone else's numbers game. These drugs are known to dry out your lenses and potentially cause cataracts.
Like Hillary, cholesterol is not the epitome of pure evil it's made out to be.
A double whammy is men who are put on statins and then also take testosterone increasing drugs on top of that. That cholesterol they're lowering is a necessary aspect of testosterone production (so they've got people coming and going...and paying twice for the privilege).
It is good to step back and consider carefully what one is taking and the effects it might have (even the unanticipated ones). Personally, that applies even more so to anything that necessitates a prescription. There's a reason why these are regulated, as the risks can be far greater for some.
Wish you well with your eyes. Some in the family have had MD, so can certainly understand the rethinking of supplements and medications.
