Can cataracts be cured without surgery?
No. If the aging
of the natural lens of the eye has reached a degree of hardness and
discoloration that it significantly interferes with necessary visual tasks,
surgery with a lens implant is necessary. Glasses changes in the early stages
will help temporarily, though.
There are no drops or eye exercises that can reverse or cure cataracts.
