Herbal Remedies for Cataracts

A cataract is an opacity in the lens of the eye which often develops with age.

Herbal antioxidants may help prevent this condition, and bilberry extract has been recommended as a treatment, but there is no evidence that it can remove a cataract once it has formed. Prevention is still the best medicine.
