Seeing Your Way Through Cataract The Natural Way
What is cataract? A condition caused by the clumping of protein on the lens of the eye, resulting in blurred vision.
What are are the causes, risk factors, and types of cataract? Age is the most common cause of cataract, but not the only factor which can lead to the development of the condition.
Some individuals are born with a congenital cataract-like disorder.
Diabetes, smoking, drinking alcohol, and the use of steroids, diuretics, or tranquilizes can contribute to the likelihood of cataract formation as well, as can injury or trauma to the eye.
Cataracts can form in any area of the lens, and are characterized as one of three types: A nuclear cataract, the most common type, develops in the center of the lens as a natural part of aging, typically causing nearsightedness and blurred vision.
Cortical cataract, common among diabetics, can adversely affect both distant and near vision, while subcapsular cataract may affect both eyes, but tends to be more advanced in one than in the other.
What are the symptoms? Depletion or loss of vision in the initial stages of cataract is rare.
However, there are warning signs as cataract progresses, including blurred vision, sensitivity to bright light, difficulty seeing at night, trouble identifying colors, and headache brought on by eye strain.
What are the most effective natural remedies? Although cataract requires proper medical diagnosis and treatment (in most cases surgery) sufferers can also utilize several home remedies to inhibit cataract growth as well as strengthen the eyes.
APPLE CIDER VINEGAR can assist in preventing and controlling cataract when mixed with honey in water and consumed with each meal.
GARLIC is believed to be a natural lens cleaner.
If you (and those near and dear to you) can cope with garlic breath, chew two to three cloves of raw garlic each day to keep lenses clear the natural way.
ALMONDS strengthen eyes and may contribute to cataract prevention, too.
Grind seven almonds with one half gram of pepper.
Add the mixture to half a cup of water, and consume the resulting paste each day.
CARROTS are a great source of Vitamin A, and are are -- as folklore suggests -- highly beneficial for the eyes.
Eating raw carrots and/ or drinking a glass or two of raw carrot juice each day helps keep cataracts away.
