Recently, you can often see the advertisement of an eye product shot by a star on TV and the Internet. The advertisement claims that you can order eye drops to treat cataracts, so can eye drops really cure cataracts? Let’s unravel the mystery of eye drops to cure cataracts.
Cataract is mainly divided into congenital and acquired, and the majority of acquired cataracts are senile cataracts. Senile cataracts occur due to the age-related decline of crystal-like metabolic function and protein degeneration in the lens, which causes clouding of the lens, also known as cataract. The development of senile cataracts takes a long time to occur and the degree of cataract varies from one elderly person to another.
There are several commonly used eye drops for cataract treatment in clinical practice. Their ingredients are different, but their principles are based on the fact that the ingredients contained in them have a certain inhibitory effect on protein degeneration in the lens, so they can partially slow down the occurrence and development of cataract. The more commonly used eye drops, such as Pirenoxin eye drops and Muskju eye drops, are safe and effective for the treatment of very early cataracts.
For patients with cataract development to a certain degree, the only way to solve the problem is through surgery. The current industry consensus is that the timing of cataract surgery is: moderate clouding of the lens, visual acuity below 0.5, affecting working life. It is safe and sure. The specific method of treatment should be decided through eye examination.
