How to prevent cataracts - 5 tips recommended by Eye Surgeon

[@eyechannelbyeyesurgeon]

Let me know in the comments below👇, when the last time you had a full eye exam was, and if you or someone you know is diagnosed with cataracts.

[@NBP722]

I had my first ever comprehensive eye exam ever about 2 weeks ago. No cataracts, but apparently I had some dysfunction, possible clogging of my Meibomian glands. I was prescribed Lotemax to use for about 6 weeks total and was also told to use an eye compress and otc eye drops for the dryness.

I had cataract surgery just before I turned 60. I always,wore sunshades as my eyes were sensitive to the sun. I have none of the problems you,spoke so and my parents didn’t have cataracts. The Dr who did my surgery put a lens in that if I don’t have my contacts in I can read without reading glasses. No one asked me any questions concerning this but I am so glad it was done this way. Thanks

[@bb89670]

Thank you for this information, it helps. I saw my Opthalmologist yesterday, she told me I'm starting to get cataract but 5 or 6 months ago she told me everything was fine, no cataract, no glaucoma. Now all of a sudden I have a little tiny cataract, I've been taking Preservation Ared vitamins, fish oil, Centrum multivitamins (not everyday only if can remember to take them. I started to eat broccoli again, spinach, sometimes avocado. I will follow your advice. I'm hoping it doesn't get worse. I'm now 72. Last time I watch your video, you said Systane Ultra eye drops is good for dry eyes, so I went and bought it. Now that my eye doc said I have a little cataract, what eyedrops is good that will slow it down or reverse it. Thanks.

[@teresitadizon619]

My doctor from the Philippines told me I have cataract when I went to her clinic for my allergy check up. I didn’t mind because I felt ok. I got vision examination when I applied for Driver’s license that made me disqualified not to have DL because I did not pass my vision test. I went to the optometrist, he told me I have cataract both eyes. Due to this problem my husband told me to accompany me to go to optalmologist for check up. Thank you for sharing those things that are good for the eyes to prevent cataract.

[@pauldiamond9462]

Paul Diamond 0 seconds ago I was scheduled for surgery to replace the cataract damaged lenses in both eyes. With my wife, I changed to eating a plant based diet, recommended by my DO. After a month, the osteo arthritis pain I suffered in my toes, plantar, heels, ankles, knees, elbows, wrists and fingers (each confirmed by xray images) disappeared. Almost a year after going plant based diet, my cataracts cleared in both eyes. I phoned the optometrist and requested a new vision test before my scheduled cataract surgery. She agreed. After the new exam, she cancelled the cataract surgery for my eyes! - It was a big step to give up all meat, dairy, processed foods, oils, etc. But, the rewards to me far exceed the compromises. (Age 74!)

I had cataracts surgery at age 60, unfortunately the surgeon fitted reading lens only instead of reading and long distance, I also have hypertension under control by medication.I have never smoked or drank alcohol. However, approximately 8 months after my operation my vision went from clear to having a double shadow over everything I looked at. I hesitate to have another double operation. Thank you for a great video.

[@Cracyfox4359]

@Run Everyday good Evening from Western Australia's Southwest. My surgery for cataracts was performed in hospital as "same day surgery" outpatient, one eye at a time and 4 weeks apart. On both surgeries, there were 35 - 40 people having the same procedure. I am not sure what the RX readings were.. However, several weeks after surgery I visited the surgeon's practice for eye tests and was giving paperwork stating what my eyesight was as follows:- Intraocular lens used: Monofocal-RE, Toric Monofocal-LE. Unaided vision RE =6/6-2, LE =6/7.5-1. IOP: RE = 16, LE = 18. REFRACTION: RE =, -0.25/-0.50×165 LE=, -0.25/-0.50×150. When I wear glasses to read paper I need to adjust distance to get clear vision and upon taking off glasses, everything is blurry for 5 to 10 minutes. Driving is proving a challenge especially at night, glare is an issue. I really wanted lens implants for reading and long distance but surgeon placed the above single lens. Not sure if I need further surgery or new glasses, looking at computer screen I need to be a certain distance from screen to see clearly. The issue I have is that I live in a rural area and need to travel appropriately one hour each way to see eye surgeon. What would be your expert recommendation as to procede fro here. Thank you kindly in advance for your assistance. Make your day a great one.

Diet is very important, so is cutting carbs and no snaking! Supplementing with good Zinc, and other minerals such as potassium, and the B vitamins. Sunglases are important for those with man-replaced lenses. We were born with out sunglasses, so if we learn to make good diet choices and get our blood work checked every year or so, we can be more successful in avoiding cataracts.

Thanks Dr. Tai! Ive been taking prednisolone acetate suspension eye drops for my eyes. It certainly did help when I took these eyedrops, but after two-three weeks, I think I'll cut them out temporarily or for long term, depending on when my eye pain comes back. Dr. Ming Wang did warn me about this specific med, not to take too long, or else it might cause ill effect to my right eye (increased eyeball pressure). Great to have two opinions about the same med.

I avoided cataract surgery for years, which was among the dumbest things I ever did. With the new lens, I see the smallest print on the scale. I need minimum distance correction of -1 to -1.5. The surgery was simple eye drops for a few weeks. Don't put it off.

Dr. Tai, hello from Wales, UK. I suffered a retinal detachment some years ago and am careful to eat spinach quite often for eye health. I have floaters in the other eye but am not overly bothered by them. I have none in the affected eye, which now has a silicone lens, following on from the inserted gas which was used during the surgery, to press the retina back during the week long requirement to lay down on one side at home upon having been discharged from hospital. I have slightly blurry vision in that eye and a taller 'pinched' image, but it's only apparent when looking through that eye in isolation. The plus side of eating spinach is that it makes me strong and very attractive to women, as is the case with Popeye, although I tend to not be attracted to women with very think legs, like Olive Oyl has. I'm almost 65 but still extremely fussy, in spite of my time running out fast. I hope I don't develop cataracts later, as my maternal grandmother did, albeit only in one eye.

[@shellyswanner3069]

I developed cataracts in my early 30s and none of these factors applied to me. My ophthalmologist said her best guess was the fact that I wore hard (gas permeable) contact lenses for many years, which likely caused inflammation in my eyes due to constant irritation. They were SO uncomfortable and even painful but I didn't have other options. I have severe nearsightedness which started around age 8 and I also have dry eye syndrome which prevented me from wearing soft lenses.

Can you tell me if it is the regular castor oil ? Or if there are castor oil drops.

[@kismet2354]

Potential Hazards of Castor Oilcontact solution Check with your medical professional before using castor oil for your eyes, as it can have some risks and side effects. It is not ideal for everyone. The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) recommends talking to your ophthalmologist about what to use for your specific condition, as there is often a better option than castor oil. Do not use castor oil if you: Are wearing or putting in contacts soon. Have recently had a surgical procedure. Are allergic to it. Have a serious eye condition. Use other eye drops or ointments. The most common side effects of using castor oil eye drops are blurry vision, itching, and swelling. Blurry vision often clears up after a little bit of time as the castor oil dissipates. If you experience irritation or further issues like dizziness, nausea, or trouble breathing, you should stop using castor oil immediately. Using Castor Oil Safely on Your Eyes If you use castor oil for eyes, be sure to choose artificial tear or eye drop products made for eyes that contain castor oil and not non-sterile castor oil by itself. If applying castor oil topically, be sure to wash your hands before application and gently massage the oil around your eyes. Remember to talk to your eyecare provider before using castor oil to make sure it is the best option for your eye health.

Dr. Audrey Tai, I was diagnosed with cataract in 2014 and gluacoma in 2020 and aavised for surgery to remove the cataract but I declined as I am 86 years old. Dr. Tai how long does it takes for a patient to go blind? Does it depends on the pressure level of a cataract eye or gluacoma eye? Meanwhile I exercise daily, eat eye foods and eye supplement. I am not a diabetic or suffering high blood pressure, nor any other underlying medical conditions.

Thank you. My cataract was due to my steroid I have now been taken for 9 months and finished today. My doctor never told me the side effects. So, what, do you do ,if your doctor put you on Steroid treatment ??? Look forward to hear from you.

[@dhowar]

I had cataracts from asmanex steroid inhaler for asthma. What triggered my asthma was preservatives in wine. I drink vodka now. No preservatives. I got the cataracts removed from the V.A. Great job. I'm 80 now.

Interesting video, thanks. I have a big cataract in my left eye. I have been using drops (N Acetyl Carnosine) on it for over two years and I think it is getting smaller and more transparent. My optician says this cannot be because the drops cannot reach the cataract. What do you think of these drops? Am I imagining the improvement?

[@viviennesunny]

I m not her but I believe in these drops. Also try Lanomax. Pass both with 2 hours of difference, they are different substances.

[@emansaifan4042]

Did your doctor notice that the cataract is getting smaller? Then the eye drop worked???

[@UyenNguyen-jh5tl]

You look very much like a Korean friend of mine when I went to University. Good video

[@kenhazlin5860]

Thank you. I have used carnosine eye drops to help ward off development of cataracts.

Thank you for sharing this revelation moment regarding cataracts 🙏🏾

To avoid sugar and fructose which is more harmful to health when over consumed. Therefore i give fruits the boots most of the times. And i chose to take in lutein and zeaxanthin supplement for improved vision. l am glad to report those purple pills have served me well as my dried tears from my lacrimal gland which often dried like salt particles had disappeared. My vision during indoors sports which oftentimes involved viewing against strong ceilings light is better.

I am convinced I got my cataracts (mid-40's) from getting carried away with topical steroids for my psoriasis.

I have been on high dose prednisolone eye drops every day for over 3 years and very worried of developing cataracts at the age of 40. I need steroid drops to combat my chronic inflammation from having bad SMILE laser eye surgery. The surgery has ruined my life. PLEASE DO NOT OPERATE ON HEALTHY EYES!

[@ruskinjere1221]

Iam 67 years old and have t/2 diabetes. I recently had cataract surgery in both eyes. I was expressly told that cataract surgery/ removal would ultimately improve my sight in both eyes. But the opposite occurred. My sight is worse. I now cannot even read a book which I used to do and enjoy before surgery I still see ' floaters' nine months. Now my question is, can I undergo corrective surgery if there is any such thing?

Dr. Berg has a video on the best food supplement to prevent cataracts - egg yolks. There are 2 basic bio chemicals only found in chicken egg yolk which are vital for healthy eye lens. He eats 4 every day for this reason.
