There are many medications to treat early age-related cataracts, but none of them have exact efficacy. Auxiliary nutritional drugs, such as oral vitamins C and E, can improve the nutritional disorders of the lens; there are also drugs for antioxidant damage, glutathione eye drops can be used for early cataract, as well as eye drops for cataract suspension and bendazac; and Chinese herbal treatments, such as Dendrobium Luminosum Pills, Fuming Tablets, and Musk Pearl Eye Drops. However, all the drugs can only serve to delay the course of cataracts but cannot stop the development of cataracts or make the cloudy crystals transparent, i.e., they cannot reverse cataracts. Eye drops need to be used for a long time to be effective, but they contain preservatives, which may cause dry eye symptoms if used for a long time. The only effective way to treat early age-related cataracts is surgery, which is a more mature and safer technique. For senile cataracts, surgery can be considered as long as it affects daily life and work.
