Do I have to get immediate treatment for cataracts?

Many people are told “you have a cataract” by the examining physician during their regular annual physical exam. In fact, most of them have only a slight clouding of the lens and their vision may still be around 0.8 or even 1.0, which is not enough to qualify as a “cataract” according to the World Health Organization’s definition. At this time, surgery is generally not considered, and medication can be considered if there are conditions.

Commonly used drugs include: 1) auxiliary nutritional drugs: such as inorganic salt formula, free amino acid formula, vitamin C, E, etc.; 2) drugs related to quinone theory: such as cataract, cataract, etc.; 3) antioxidant damage drugs: such as glutathione, etc.; 4) Chinese herbal medicine: such as stone solution night light pill, musk pearl bright eye solution and cataract powder, etc. Some of these drugs are said to be “able to treat cataract”.

Some of these drugs are claimed to be able to “slow down the development of cataracts”, but so far, none of them has been clearly recognized as a cure for cataracts.

If a doctor diagnoses a cataract as “cataract” and it is suitable for surgery, after adequate preparation, surgery can be performed immediately when the vision has been significantly reduced or slightly reduced, but one feels that one’s life and work have been greatly affected.
