I have cataract I once did the surgery but the thing has returned worse is it safe to do it again considering that the first optamologist may not have done a very good job 1 Like |

My dad gave some vegetables drinks to once of my very close friends. I don't know how he said he (my friend) should use it but now my Friend sees clearly. No more cataract. Hospitals will demand surgery but our fathers know how to cure that thing the natural way. 1 Like |

Pls, I need some help. I don't know if it's cataracts or not. I'm 2014, I noticed my eyes wasn't seeing quite clearly as before so I visited an eye doctor, and she gave me glasses. Fast forward to 2016, it seems the glasses wasn't working well again as I wasnt feeling the eyes, I went back and another glasses was given. Pls note, I see clearly near by things, but when am in class, I need sit in the first two seat, else, board will be blur. In 2019 again, the sight was very poor and the glasses seemed useless. I went back for check and discovered the eyes has further deteriorated, and a new pair of glasses was given. Now, am feeling as though the eyes has further deteriorated and it's giving me serious concern. Pls, any help 1 Like |

This is probably degenerative Myopia. A kind of shortsightedness that naturally gets "worse" as one ages. What location in Nigeria are you so I can advise properly? 4 Likes |

Cataracts can be surgically operated. And NO!!! No leaves nor mixture can cure it. Some old artisans use some agricultural chemicals to melt the lens in the eye giving temporary vision. � of those eyes go blind in the future. Kindly tag or pm me for any cataract or eye care questions. Will be willing to oblige 2 Likes |

InaNla: The average cost of the surgery is around 80,000. However, during some outreach programmes, it can be as low as 30,000 or even free. After the surgery, you should start noticing improvements within 48 hours, although some could take as much as a week to adjust 1 Like 1 Share |

Coder2Client: Glaucoma is not curable like cataracts, but there are drugs that can help you manage it. It is just like the hypertension or diabetes situation. |

Pimpmaride: I do not think what happened to her has to do with the tears. I hope where she was referred to is a hospital? If so, she would be assessed and the main cause of the visual loss would be addressed. |

Ajengogo: When the person gets to the hospital, He/She would be accessed and placed on Anti-hypertensive drugs, and his/her BP would be monitored until such a time when it is safe for surgery, and then the surgery would be done as others. I would advice that you go to a tertiary hospital (teaching or FMC), due to the fact that they have all available specialties to give comprehensive care to such person. |

There is also this plant used in my hood that clears it within 2 wks, though the eye(s) MOST not been previously operated on. |
Re: Understanding Cataracts: Causes, Signs, Prevention And Treatment by Edunews: 5:42pm On Aug 23, 2020 |
Deborah98: Similar to what you were told at the hospital, the person can be given glasses as well as medications that can help him/her manage the situation, until such a time. It doesnt mean that the surgery cannot be done, it can. However, when it comes to surgeries, we have to weigh the risk of surgery against the benefit at that point in time. If the sight isnt very bad or advanced, the risk outweighs the benefit, but if the person has total vision loss or near total, the the benefit outweighs the risk. I believe that is what was considered in your case. 2 Likes |

zinoad: I would have loved to see this leaf of yours and see if it can be sent to the laboratory and they would figure out what it contains. However, at the moment, there is no leave or substance that you would put into your eyes to clear a cataracts. Most importantly, please, never put anything into your eye, especially a heated substance. 1 Like |

ayanleye12: I would not be able to tell, until i am able to see the affected eyes. I would like to ask if you have visited a hospital since it occured, especially to see an opthamologist? If you havent, i would suggest you do so. |
