Cataract Treatment with Ayurveda

Definition of the disease

Cataract in the eye is a thick, cloudy area that forms in the lens of the eye. The retina works by converting light coming through the lens into signals. In this disease,  protein appears in the eye and forms lumps  that prevent the lens from sending clear images to the  retina, therefore unable to send signals to the optic nerve,  which carries them to the brain. This disease develops slowly over time and then eventually impairs your vision.

Cataract is common in the elderly. If a person is over 60 and eyesight has become blurred or blurred, this may be due to cataracts. With age-related cataracts,  the power of the lens may increase, causing myopia (myopia). Cataract usually progresses slowly to lead to loss of vision and is potentially blinding if left untreated. Usually it affects both eyes, but one eye is always affected earlier than the other.

Reasons

The lens of the eye consists mainly of  water and proteins.  The protein is arranged in a specific way that  keeps the lens clean and allows light to pass through it  to focus a clear image on the surface of the retina. With age, some of the protein binds together and begins to blur a small area of ​​the lens. Here's how to cause age-related cataracts. Over time, cataracts may become denser or cloud more than the lens, making it harder to see. However, it should be noted that cataracts are not growth or tumors.

There are many causes of juvenile cataracts or secondary cataracts. Secondary cataracts are the result of similar changes to the lens protein, which also leads to visual blurring or loss of vision. This is also due to eye injury, eye surgery for other eye conditions and exposure to ionizing, infrared and ultraviolet radiation.
