CATARACT- HOME TREATMENT

After a few minutes of checkup, it was not difficult for the doctor to diagnose the case as cataract and conveyed the message to the elderly man who complained of cloudy blurry vision, especially even during examination as the doctor flashed the torch, he said he had problems with lights, including head lights that seemed too bright, glare from lamps or bright sunlight, he also complained of poor night vision, difficulty in reading, and poor night vision.

A cataract is the clouding of the eye’s natural lens, which lies behind the iris and the pupil. The lens not only works as a camera lens, it also adjusts the eye’s focus letting us see things clearly both close and far away. A cataract starts out small, and at first has little effect on the vision. The three types of cataract are: Nuclear cataract- which forms in the nucleus and is due to natural aging changes, Cortical cataract- that forms in the lens cortex, and is found in many diabetics, Sub capsular cataract- which begins at the back of the lens, and is found with people suffering from diabetes, high farsightedness, and those taking high doses of steroids.

Why the lens change as we age, no one knows for sure. Studies suggest that exposure to ultraviolet light, and other types of radiation is associated with cataract development, Airline pilots have a risk of developing nuclear cataract, and astronauts from cosmic radiation. Eating a lot of salt, a diet high in antioxidant, Vitamin C and E may increase your risk on cataract development. Cigarette smoking, air pollution and heavy outdoors are other risk factors. A study has found that reduced cholesterol levels within the eye’s natural lens and in a portion of the brain linked to vision.

Here are a few home remedies that can be effective: Eating loads of raw carrots on a daily basis, if not raw then you can go in for carrot juice once in the morning and then later in the evening is considered valuable as a part of cataract home remedy. Eating 2-3 cloves of garlic everyday and chewing them slowly cleanses the crystalline lens of the eye. Another effective remedy is to put a few drops of unprocessed honey and juice of in the eyes.
