Default Cataracts

If you are suffering from cataracts what can you do to lessen the troubles you might have with it? Are there glasses that you can wear that can help?

I'm not sure if cataracts are more common with diabetes or not, but in general I'm sure that glasses can't help the effects of cataracts.

On the positive side, I believe the surgery to fix them is becoming a routine procedure with excellent success rates.

Yes Ricardo, I have also heard that there have been high success rates in treating cataracts. Supposedly, the surgery is called intra capsular surgery where the lens is replaced with a plastic lens.

Although prevention is always better in which a daily intake of Vitamins might help in the prevention of cataracts.
