cataract eye drops Cataract Eye Drops: An Alternative to Cataract Surgery The only known treatment for cataract is none other than undergoing a cataract surgery procedure. Until know, doctor and medical research have not actually found a viable way other than has it removed through a surgical procedure.  During the surgery, the cloudy lens is removed and replaced with an artificial lens known as intraocular lens.

Basically when cataracts happen to develop, the natural lens of the eye will need to be replaced, especially when the cataract has reached the ripen stage (a condition where it interferes the patient daily activities very much. It might also lead to blindness if nothing is done to it). The implant lens will restore the eye’s normal focusing ability, just as how a natural lens does its job. Sometimes, the capsule that supports the lens can become cloudy too and which the patients would have to undergo a second laser surgery to open the cloudy capsule to restore the vision to normal again. This is known as secondary cataract, which is not risky and much safer to remove.
