dear hcm user,cataract is the age related gradual thickening of the lens of the eye.
there is no specific treatment to prevent cataract from maturing.
you can try antioxidants like vitamin a,vitamin c,fresh fruits,berries etc.
cataract is a slow and gradual process.
if it hinders the vision,then surgery is the safest and mainstay treatment.
hope that answers the question
