Dr. Edward Paul is known for his independence and tenacity when it comes to finding treatments for so-called “incurable” eye diseases. He also has a hard-earned reputation as one of the world's leading authorities on macular degeneration and nutritional medicine. Often years ahead of the conventional medical establishment, he has evaluated, researched, formulated, and written about treatments and cures for various eye diseases – ranging from cataracts and macular degeneration to dry eye syndrome.

Dr. Paul is the developer and researcher behind TOZAL, a nutritional supplement that improves vision in patients with macular degeneration and relieves dry eye symptoms.  Dr. Paul's supplement is the exclusive formula used in the landmark TOZAL Study which was published in 2007 in the British medical journal BMC Ophthalmology.  The TOZAL Study demonstrated that 77% of  macular degeneration patients who took the supplement for six months experienced stabilization (no further deterioration) and/or improved vision.

For more than 20 years Dr. Paul has been helping people to see better and live healthier lives by recommending the best of conventional medicine combined with the most powerful natural and alternative approaches. Dr. Paul holds multiple U.S. and foreign patents on pharmaceutical agents and medical devices used in the treatment of eye diseases and systemic disorders.
