The progression of bright eyes cataract will usually be slow, but ultimately it will lead to a complete loss of vision loss if left untreated. This problem can occur in both eyes but usually one eye will develop it before the other.

1. Cataracts: Get The Right Treatment From an Eye Specialist
Our eye has a crystalline lens that focuses light
onto the retina at the rear of the eye which gives us
our sight. In many cases, this crystalline lens
becomes clouded due to a crosslinking of proteins
and this condition is known as a cataract which
obstructs the passage of light getting to the retina
which diminishes vision. There are several different
types of cataracts.
Age related cataract
Age related cataracts develop naturally as we age
and can lead to short sightedness or myopia. The clouding of the lens usually appears as a milky -
white colour or sometimes a yellowish colour causing the perception of blue colours to be
diminished. The progression of bright eyes cataract will usually be slow, but ultimately it will lead
to a complete loss of vision loss if left untreated. This problem can occur in both eyes but usually
one eye will develop it before the other.
Senile cataract
This type of cataract is also seen among elderly people. The characteristic feature of this variety of
cataract is the opacity in lens. After sometime, the lens can swell and thereafter there will be
shrinkage and a complete loss of transparency can be observed.
Morgagnian Cataract
This is a special form of cortico-nuclear cataract whereby the process of fiber dissolution which is
encountered in cortical cataract in general is speeded up. Enzymatic degradation of the membrane
and crystalline fiber components within the lens can then occur to produce liquefaction of the fibers
and reabsorption of the cortical fluid. If this is left untreated for a longtime, it can cause
phacomorphic glaucoma. This is a very advanced form among all the cataracts found by
researchers.
Congenital cataract
Another kind of cataract found in children is known as congenital cataract. This is seen in either a
new born baby or a development that took place just after the birth of the baby. In mild to moderate
cases that do not affect vision they may not need to be treated, especially if both eyes are affected.
Moderate to severe cases which do affect vision will need to have the lens removed exactly the
same as with adults. The fitting of an artificial lens (IOL) in infants is controversial and without one
the child will need to wear contact lenses.
Treatment of cataract
If there is a disease, there must be a treatment. People can adopt surgical as well as non-surgical
treatments according to the condition of the patient and their own personal preferences.
• Non-surgical: There is now a new non-invasive alternative to cataracts surgery involving a

2. simple course of N-Acetyl-Carnosine (NAC for short) eye drops. The drops should be applied
hourly throughout the day and 80% of people who opt for this alternative to surgery see good
results within the recommended six week course of treatment. More advanced mature cataracts
can take longer than six weeks to fully clear. NAC eye drops are not a drug and therefore have no
adverse side-effects or contraindications.
• Surgical: In every stage of development, a cataract operation is conducted to remove the
lens from the patient’s eye and then replace it with a new manmade intra-ocular lens (IOL). In
adults, this procedure is generally carried out under local anesthetic and takes around half an hour
to complete. As with any surgical procedure, there is a small element of risk involved but with a
99% success rate the risks are very minimal. The other advantage with this method is that a new
corrective IOL can be fitted so after surgery the patient will no longer need to wear corrective
glasses any longer.
