Treat Cataracts-Without Cataract surgery

Most common eye disorders like cataracts, macular degeneration and glaucoma are problems of the past and one do not need surgical operation to get rid of them. The body whose responsibility it is to study eye related problem is the National Eye Institute. The institute’s study showed that cataract, macular degeneration and glaucoma are the principal causes of blindness for many people. The study further revealed that half of the blindness cases are preventable.

The best way to find ways and means of preventing blindness among people is trying to identifying the causes of cataracts, macular degeneration and glaucoma. The first question we need to ask is what are the causes of cataract? It has been shown that factors like the free radicals emanating from pollution, pharmaceutical drugs as well as sunlight produce the oxidation which leads to the formation of cataracts. Diabetes and physical injuries are also linked to cataract. The proteins in the eye lens harden and clump thereby making it very difficult for the eye lens to focus. That is precisely how cataract manifests in the eyes.

Now what exactly does it look like having cataract? Cataracts are peculiar to individuals, but the common sign of it include requiring more light to read or finding it difficult to read street signs. Patients with the disease finds headlight from another vehicle too bright, moreover colours of things and depth perception do change for patients. Perhaps the most notable indicator of the eye problem is fuzzy vision.

We may even ask whether cataracts get worst as time goes; the answer is of course yes because unless they are tackled head on as the signs manifest it gets worst with time. We do not need to wait as the surgeons do for the cataracts ailment to ripen or become very hard and bad before they are operated. We know that cataract surgery are effective and has the capacity of boasting quality of life of patients but not in a situation where there is a proven alternative.

Would it not be better if there are other ways to remove cataracts without resorting to surgical operation? The answer to this is yes, the very man who brought NAC eye drops to Europe Steven Charles Gallant supported it. The biochemist whose father had cataract had wished for a simple course of eyes drop for effective cure of cataract as against the painful and invasive cataract surgical operations which patients are subjected to.

People may ask: is there anything to show that eye drops can eliminate cataract? The evidence is obvious from clinical trials conducted in Russia and China where it was shown the NAC eye drops reduces cataract in most of the cases it is used. The clinical trials which lasted for six months indicated that visual acuity as well as the glare sensitivity of these patients went up. In the same vein, the lens opacity came down. Not only that it was shown that apart from the initial trial, the drug was doing better after a follow up treatment in two years. The most interesting aspect of the NAC eye drops is that there was no record of any side effects.

What then are these NAC eye drops? The acronym NAC represents naturally occurring compound called Nalpha-acetylcarnosine. This is a very powerful antioxidant. (Recall that it is the oxidation that causes cataract). This eye drop is used as L-Carnosine or Ignotine as it is called, the drug can also be used to alleviate other health problems as well.

Is it not possible for one not to have cataracts? It is very possible for one not to have cataract. A study conducted at Ohio State University indicated that the dark green leafy vegetables are composed of antioxidants which help in keeping the eye cells. The antioxidants could be concentrated as supplements for better protection against cataracts. When they are combined with the NAC drops it is a sure way of having a bountiful life without any form of cataracts.

So with help of science and technology we can now live the high quality life we deserve without the fear of having cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration and other life threatening sickness.
