The Roots of Black Eyes Matter began in 2019 as a research study revealed CBG had shown the ability to reduce the intra ocular pressure in the eye that causes Glaucoma and blindness, the greatest cause of blindness on earth and 50% greater risk in African ethnicities.
The shocking truth is Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in the world.
The human eyes have endocannabinoid receptors, and CBG may help in treating glaucoma because it reduces Intra Ocular Pressure (IOP). Endocannabinoid receptors get activated by CBG, resulting in a shift in IOP.
A 2008 study examined the possibilities of applying cannabinoids in the treatment of glaucoma. It was found that CBG has potent vasodilator and neuroprotective properties that support its therapeutic benefits in lowering intra ocular pressure
The prevalence of glaucoma in Africa is the highest in the world… and Africans with glaucoma are twice as likely to go blind from glaucoma than people in other regions.
The good news is that if glaucoma is detected early and treated correctly, blindness can be prevented.
Founder Justin Helton has been influenced by his own family threat of blindness having Jamaican ancestry that makes his family more susceptible to Glaucoma.
In 2019, when Helton Holistics Research Lab's Justin Helton and Co-Founder Keith Field discovered a research study that demonstrated CBG could hold a powerful solution to a global Glaucoma problem, we knew we had no path that was more important to bring to light.
That was the start of Black Eyes Matter… because they do. And of course, All Eyes Matter ...but the African Black Eyes suffer 50% more… and we are committed to changing that.
We are committed to educating everyone about the benefits of our discoveries and the products we have developed to contribute the health and well-being of everyone.

Black Eyes Matter will add "Black Health Matters" and feature additional products providing a powerful Holistic Medicine and Aryuvedic Health source.
Your Eyes Matter is a sister company and will open the product to a larger market, however our first commitment is to educate and provide African ethnicities who are at greater risk with a powerful 100% Organic solution.

CBG for glaucoma: What research says - The human eyes have endocannabinoid receptors, and CBG may help in treading glaucoma because it reduces Intra Ocular Pressure. Encannabinoid receptors get activated by CBG, resulting in a shift in IOP.
A 2008 study examined the possibilities of applying cannabinoids in the treatment of glaucoma. It was found that CBG has potent vasodilator and neuroprotective properties that support its therapeutic benefits in lowering intra ocular pressure.
