cataract surgery versus natural remedies

[medinfo4slm]

I have cortical cataractrs
has anyone tried a natural remedy for cataracts or is surgery the only way to go

Hiya, have you tried antioxidant eye drops? You mention a natural remedy and if like me you are a little nervous of surgery or cannot afford it why not try the NAC eye drops brand name Can-C? That's what I am using and have done for 6 months now. My vision has improved and I think these drops are actually dissolving my cataract which I know sounds crazy but I can really notice a big improvement. I actually bought them for my dog but decided to join her.I will be going for my next check up at the end of the summer but the info says I should use them every day for 12 months. I'm not sure if I am allowed to say where I bought them but if you want to know just drop me an email ***@****

Whatever you decide to do, good luck!

Dear medinfo4slm,

At the present time, surgery is recommended if the visual acuity is reduced and affecting one’s activities.

Surgery is the only way to go.  But you shouldn't be afraid of having cataract surgery.  It was a totally painless outpatient procedure for me, and my results with aspheric monofocal lenses exceeded my expectations.  There's an excellent patient education video at www tecnisiol com.  Although the video promotes Tecnis IOLs, you can get the same excellent results with other brands of aspheric monofocal lenses.
