A cataract is a clouding of the lens in the eye which leads to a decrease in vision. Cataracts often develop slowly and can affect one or both eyes. Symptoms may include faded colors, blurry vision, halos around light, trouble with bright lights, and trouble seeing at night. This may result in trouble driving, reading, or recognizing faces. Poor vision caused by cataracts may also result in an increased risk of falling and depression. Cataracts are the cause of half of blindness and 33% of visual impairment worldwide.
Cataracts are most commonly due to aging but may also occur due to trauma or radiation exposure, be present from birth, or occur following eye surgery for other problems. Risk factors include diabetes, smoking, prolonged exposure to sunlight, and alcohol. Either clumps of protein or yellow-brown pigment may be deposited in the lens reducing the transmission of light to the retina at the back of the eye.
About 20 million people are blind due to cataracts. It is the cause of approximately 5% of blindness in the United States and nearly 60% of blindness in parts of Africa and South America. Blindness from cataracts occurs in about 10 to 40 per 100,000 children in the developing world, and 1 to 4 per 100,000 children in the developed world. Cataracts become more common with age. More than half the people in the United States had cataracts by the age of 80.
Your dogs and cats can also develop cataracts. Most cataracts in dogs are inherited and can occur at any age. Another common cause of cataracts in dogs is diabetes.
Up to now, there is no effective treatment for cataracts on the market except surgery. However, it is very important to know that each person can only change intraocular lens (IOL) once in a lifetime, not to mention there are always risks associated with surgery. For diabetics, it is very likely that glycoprotein will be built up again on lens down the road. Thus, changing IOL is apparenty not the best solution for diabetics.
For the first time in human history, we are proud to announce that cataracts, such as cortical cataracts, nuclear cataracts, or posterior subcapsular cataracts, can all be effectively treated and cured by our nano-grade eye drops.
If you have an option to cure cataract by using nano-grade eye drops, would you still take the risk of going through cataract surgery or spending more money for IOL implants? The answer should be obvious.
