There is no
nonsurgical treatment for a cataract. Preventative measures include
wearing good ultraviolet (UV) blocking sunglasses to protect
your eyes from the sun. Anti-oxidant vitamins may retard cataract
changes.
Smoking accelerates cataract
development and should be avoided. Some improvement with glasses
is possible until the cataract becomes severe.
Routine
eye exams
are important in watching for cataract formation that may be
the result of medicines or general illnesses. |
