Treatment of eye cataracts without surgery

Cataract refers to a chronic progressive disease, illiterate or untimely treatment, which can cause partial or complete loss of vision. This disease or defect is a complete or partial clouding of the inner tissues of the lens of the eye or its capsule.

Today, cataracts are more common in the elderly. According to statistics, about 17 million people worldwide suffer from this disease.

More than 20 million people have completely lost their eyesight due to cataracts. Studies have also shown that the disease is more common in developing countries and is 25% more.

Medication principle of treatment

At the initial stage of the development of the disease, it is advisable to use conservative methods of treatment. Through this therapy, transient clouding of the entire thickness of the lens substance is prevented. In these cases, the ophthalmologist prescribes the use of complex eye drops containing a complex of vitamins, which have a beneficial effect on the visual system. They contain amino acids, antioxidants, potassium iodide, glutamine, ascorbic acid, inorganic salts, cysteine, as well as a complex of trace elements and vitamins (this can be Oftan-Katahrom, Quinax, Taufon).

Also, a specialist can prescribe medications in the form of tablets. The following should be considered effective drugs:

• Lutein Complex. This drug is indicated for a decrease in visual acuity due to prolonged loads on the visual organ, as well as for degenerative changes in the retina, cataracts, glaucoma, "night blindness". The composition includes a complex of vitamins and biologically active substances: copper, selenium, zinc, blueberry extract, lutein.
• Okuwait Lutein is prescribed in the presence of age-related changes in the organs of vision, as well as in case of increased eye strain. The drug improves metabolic processes in the tissues of the eye, reduces the likelihood of macular degeneration, protects against cataracts. The composition includes: vitamins C, E, selenium, lutein, zeaxanthin, zinc oxide.

• Vitalux Plus is an excellent tool for the prevention of eye diseases. It is prescribed as a vitamin and mineral supplement to food. Contains vitamins E and C, omega-3 acids, lutein, multivitamins.

Unfortunately, patients are not always satisfied with the result obtained at the end of treatment. If the causes of the disease are identified in a timely manner and complex therapy is carried out, then it is possible to suspend the progression, to stop the degradation of the lens.

It should always be remembered that cataract is a progressive and irreversible process. Drug treatment can only alleviate the patient's condition, temporarily suspend the development of the disease. The initial transparency of the lens is not restored. A timely visit to a specialist greatly helps to preserve vision.

If vision deteriorates, despite drug therapy, and the symptoms of the disease bother even more, then in this case, the only rational solution is surgery to remove the cataract.

Surgical method

After diagnosis, the ophthalmologist may prescribe surgery. This is necessary in cases where vision becomes worse, despite all the measures taken, visual acuity decreases. The patient cannot lead a full life, which most often affects the inability to continue his work activity. Discomfort appears when performing elementary actions.

To determine the indications for the surgical removal of a cataract, the stage of its maturity is absolutely irrelevant. An operation to remove cataracts is considered practically unpromising only in cases of complete loss of vision.

Sidorenko glasses

For several years now, patients have been interested in progressive methods that will cure cataracts without surgery. Today there is such a method - Sidorenko glasses. First of all, it is an excellent prophylactic agent that improves vision functions. It is also used for a beneficial effect on the appearance of the eyes.

Glasses help to strengthen the skin of the eyelids and eliminate fine wrinkles around. The action of this device is based on a soft vacuum massage of the eyes and surrounding tissues, which, as a result, stimulates the processes of blood microcirculation, activates the metabolic processes of the eyes and areas around them. "Glasses Sidorenko" are recommended for use by adults and children who have reached 3 years of age.

This is an innovative device that looks like safety swimming goggles. The traditional glasses in Sidorenko's glasses have been replaced by mini-vacuum chambers, which tightly cover the eye sockets when donning. The therapeutic and health-improving effect is based on the effect of low-intensity vacuum pressure (range - 0.05-0.1 atm., Frequency - 3-4 Hz) on the eye tissue and the muscles located next to them.

The device helps to supply the eyes with the necessary nutrients, restore vision, improve the condition of the eyelid skin and areas around the eyes. Already after the first session, noticeable improvements can be noted: the swelling decreases, the previously annoying headaches caused by eye strain disappear, the skin in the eye area is noticeably smoothed.

The use of "Sidorenko Points" is characterized by a number of positive effects:

• Metabolic processes are activated
• Increases blood circulation
• The processes of the outflow of eye fluid are activated
• The production of nucleoproteins is enhanced
• Reduces congestion in veins
• Decreased potassium content
• Enzyme activity is activated
• Scars dissolve
• Protein synthesis is enhanced
• Oxygenated tissues
• The processes of glucose utilization are accelerated.

The pulsating light emitted by the "Sidorenko Glasses" is capable of causing reflex dilation and subsequent constriction of the pupils, which makes it possible to relieve accommodation spasms and increase the strength of the accommodative muscle. Rhythmic muscle contraction activates eye nutrition, removes congestion, stimulates the outflow of fluid inside the eye.

Pankov's glasses

Pankov's glasses are a unique portable device designed for the treatment and prevention of a number of ophthalmic diseases. The frame of the device is equipped with LED emitters, which, in turn, are controlled by microprocessor controllers. With the help of Pankov glasses, you can effectively treat cataracts, retinal dystrophy, progressive myopia, astigmatism, optic nerve atrophy.

The operation of the device is based on the principles of low-intensity radiation, which can cleanse tissues and activate microcirculation processes. Visual functions are significantly improved after just a few sessions. In addition, the use of Pankov glasses helps to improve the general condition of the body, reduces headaches, and helps restore sleep.

Pankov's glasses are recommended for preventive purposes for those whose work requires a long stay behind a PC monitor, who often burdens the organs of vision. This device can be used both independently and as part of complex therapy, as one of the elements of treatment, especially in cases where the disease is in an advanced stage.

Treatment with folk methods

Traditional recipes for the treatment of cataracts can be used only at the beginning of the development of the disease. Such treatment lasts longer than with other, more modern and technologically advanced methods. In this case, the main condition must be observed: eye drops made according to folk recipes must be fresh - no more than 1-2 days. As such folk remedies, you can use: aloe juice with honey, woodlice herb, potato sprouts, eyebright herb, blueberry juice, etc.
