Cataract
Posted: 02-01-05 08:13am

My cousin is 40 years old.
Since spring 2004 he has felt direct lighting “disturbing”.
In fall 2004 he noticed glares around street lights (especially white alogen and yellow ones). During a visit by the optician, an initial cloudness was found in both eyes.
He still has today enough capability to see (10/10 and even more), both near vision and far vision (he bears spectacles since he has myopia). The only problem is glare and a bothering effect when he has a strong light coming from the high (sensation of smoke) and directly from car beams. The right eye seems a bit more affected than the left one.
In early january the optician told her to take bendazac lisina directly in the eyes three times/day), and assuming azyr (an integrator of vitamin c and e, lutein, astaxantine and zeaxantine) together with a vitamin c and orange juice integrator. He was asked to come back in six months for control. The optician says there are chance to stop the development of cataract since it is the early stage and he is still young (he also says that there’s 50% chance of stopping cataract, and 5% of reversal).

In the prevention and/or reversal of cataract it seems to me there’s no wide experience in italy (a lot of surgery, but poor diet and prevention), so I would be grateful to you if you can tell me what you think of such a diagnosys and therapy (also suggesting alternative possible prevention approaches, e.G. With different medical products).

Best regards

bartolomeo
