With an increase in the size of turbidity, the symptoms manifest themselves with greater force.
What contributes to the progression of cataracts?
There are a number of factors contributing to the development of the disease. Its occurrence can be affected by human-independent components, such as:
predisposition (the likelihood of clouding of the lens is higher if the parents had cataracts);
age;
gender (in women more often than in men).
The disease can develop after a burn of the eye, surgery. In addition, turbidity progresses for the following reasons: exposure (radioactive, ultraviolet, electromagnetic), poisoning with toxic substances, the use of potent drugs.
The main signs of eye cataract development are most often:
lack of vitamins A and E, glutathione and others;
smoking, drinking a lot of alcohol;
frequent visits to the solarium, prolonged exposure to the sun;
antidepressants, contraceptives, consumed a long period of time and in considerable doses;

The benefits of cataract treatment folk remedies
Usually, people choose between two options: surgical intervention and folk remedies to get rid of clouding of the lens. Consider the main method used in ophthalmology.
For patients with cataracts of the eye, a special operation is developed - phacoemulsification. This method of ridding the lens of clouding is based on crushing a substance located on a damaged surface using ultrasound.
After the mentioned fragmentation, the doctor extracts the contents by a special surgical method. In addition to this method, there are other novelties of modern medicine, such as extraction and removal of laser clouding.
But not everyone decides on such operations due to cost, and besides, there are not always conditions for such treatment, there is always the risk of an unsuccessful procedure, but these operations have indeed proved their effectiveness.
Many people think about how to cure cataracts with alternative methods. According to the reviews of those who coped with the disease, it can be said that such treatment is also effective in getting rid of turbidity, moreover, it practically does not require any costs.

Potato Sprouts Recipes

You will need potato shoots and vodka. 1 tablespoon of dried and finely chopped shoots is poured into 200 ml of water in a glass container. Unopened containers are kept in a cool place for 2 weeks.

Being treated in this way costs about 3 months.
Shoots are also used. To do this, the sprouts are washed and squeezed juice, diluted with vodka (2 to 1). Infusion is poured 3 drops into water and drunk 3 times a day for two months.
Healthy foods
The body needs antioxidants to maintain eye health and prevent symptoms. The strongest are vitamins E and C. The carotenoids that make up the lens (zeaxanthin and lutein) are important. Therefore, food should contain a large amount of antioxidants.
It must be remembered that vitamin C is found in the following foods: lemon, strawberries, oranges, herbs, quinces, peas, radishes, and rosehips.
Folic acid (or vitamin E) can be found in: broccoli, pear seeds, sunflower, sea buckthorn.
Zeaxanthin and lutein are found in: melon, apples, peaches, green peas, spinach, corn, pomegranate, beets, red grapes.
Vegetables and fruits are extremely important in the treatment of lens disease. But do not forget about meat food.
So, it will be useful to eat beef, chicken and rabbit. Fish and various seafood contain zinc, it significantly affects the reduction of cataract development. If you choose between river and sea fish, it is better to give preference to the second.
A few tips: food should be cooked in the oven or steamed, otherwise it will not bring benefits. Fruits and vegetables are healthier in their fresh form, as with various processing elements necessary for the body are simply lost.
Water will improve blood circulation.
When clouding of the lens should enhance the processes of metabolism and blood circulation in the vessels.
We take 2 bowls of water: one is cold and the other is warm.
We begin the procedure:
Immerse your face first in cool water, squinting. There you need to open your eyes and rotate them in different directions. Again, close and massage the eyelids with your fingers (from the outer edge to the inside). This is all done in water! The main thing is to inhale as deep as possible before diving.
After that, lower the face into the second tank and do the algorithm first.
And again in a cold bowl, the same actions.
In the end, keep your eyes closed for about 3 minutes (no longer in the water).
If you perform this procedure daily for seven days, then the effect will not take long. At the end of the week, rest for 7 days and repeat.
Eye training
How to do without exercises! Simple gymnastics will be a useful addition:
we sit down evenly and pull out a pen in front of us (pencil, felt-tip pen). We move the item left and right, up and down, in a circle.
For three seconds we look at a bright light. We cover our faces with our hands - we rest. Repeat again. And so 15 times.
We find an object that is far away, we observe it for 10 seconds. We are looking at a nearby thing.
Keep your eyes open for a couple of seconds, then squint and close. Repeat 10-15 times.
