Drug treatment

At present, both at home and abroad are in the exploratory research stage. For some early-stage cataracts, after clinical medication, the disease will slow down and the vision will slightly improve. The early stages of cataract will progress to maturity. It is a relatively long process, and it may stop naturally at a certain stage of development without seriously affecting vision. In the early stage of cataract, vitamin C, vitamin B2, vitamin E, etc. can be taken orally, and some drugs can also be used to delay the development of the disease. Usually some patients with mid-term cataracts can also see some improvement in vision and lens opacity after taking medication. However, for mature cataracts, drug treatment has no practical significance.
