Can you reverse cataracts without surgery?

Unfortunately, we cannot reverse cataract development. At the moment we don't have any technology or any ability to do that. It's a natural thing that we all experience eventually.

If you have been diagnosed with early cataracts or if you'd like to just never be diagnosed with vision changing cataracts then have a look at the 5 tips shared below to slash your risk of ever developing severe cataracts:

• Protect your eyes from the ultraviolet radiation of the sun at all times. 
• Wear dark UV blocking sunglasses and a wide brimmed hat anytime you're out in the sun. 
• If eyeballs have been exposed to sunlight it hurts your eye lens. Lens of the eye does not have any blood vessels feeding it whatsoever also the cells in your lens don't have a nucleus and they also don't have mitochondria. So the cells of your lens are completely dependent on the diffusion through the aqueous humor that's the liquid inside your eyeball. This is how it gets all its nutrition and that's how it gets rid of all of its wastes. 

• Eat healthy food that are rich in antioxidant which slows down the process of cataract formation.
• Dont smoke and reduce alcohol use. Eliminate foods rich in starch like grains, starchy vegetables or fruits, because even if you don't have any added sugar these food contains starch that can trigger your bloodstream.

These tips doesn't only help to prevent or slow down the cataract formation process, but it also helps to manage other health problems.
