Financial strategies: Prioritize most evidence-based peptides (Cerebrolysin for glaucoma, Thymosin Beta-4 for corneal issues), use loading dose then reduce to maintenance lowering long-term costs, cycle peptides (8 weeks on, 8 weeks off) versus continuous use, combine with well-established supplements (AREDS2) providing proven value, budget realistically understanding $100-$500 monthly ongoing expense, discontinue if financial burden excessive, focus resources on conventional treatments if limited budget
