    Scope of Homeopathy:
    No scope for homeopathy for cataract.
     


    Cataract

    Cataract is development of haziness in the vision either partial or complete which gradually increases overtime. Cataract affects the lens of the eye and prevents light from penetrating hence obstructing vision.

    Causes:
    • Aging
    • Diabetes and hypertension of long duration
    • Ultraviolet light e.g.: pilots are more prone to the disease as they fly at high altitudes continuously
    • Infra-red radiation e.g..: glassblowers are exposed to infra-red radiation by virtue of their occupation
    • Trauma to the eye
    Symptoms:

    Loss of clear vision and haloes around street lights at night. In early stages only haloes around lights at night are visible. The symptoms gradually advance causing loss of clear vision finally leading to blindness.

    Prevention:

    Research has proven that statins given to patients at risk for age related nuclear cataracts (central) delay the process of cataract formation. Anti-oxidant use has not been proven to delay the process of cataract formation.

    Treatment:

    Extra capsular Lens Extraction: In this procedure the lens is removed and the capsule is left intact. The process is completely safe.

    Constitutional homeopathic treatment can delay the formation of cataract in high risk patients like pilots, glassblowers and the aged.

    Homeopathy has no role to play in treatment of cataract. Over the counter homeopathic eye drops available in the market do not do any good and lengthen the process of cataract maturation causing further problem to the patient for a longer duration.
