Eye specialists have said that the only definitive treatment for cataracts is surgery, noting that those who desire a cure for the condition should stop wasting their money on irrelevant treatment.
a Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon, Dr. Folasade Fasina, stated that cataract is the most common cause of blindness in Nigeria. “Cataract is treated by an ophthalmologist who performs surgery on the eye. When the cataract is still small, vision can be improved with prescribed glasses, but the definitive treatment is surgery.
The eye specialist urged persons diagnosed with cataracts to go to hospitals and clinics where they can get ophthalmologists who can perform surgeries on the eyes. “Keep fit and maintain a healthy weight, quit smoking, and use steroid-containing medications only on doctor’s orders.Reduce your alcohol consumption and eat more fruits and vegetables.”
