Abstract: Prevalence of cataract blindness noted in study population was 3.49% whereas, in tribal area, of 5082 eyes, SVI was noted in 101 (1.98%) eyes and 134 (2.63%) eyes were blind.1
The prevalence of cataracts increases massively with age, with rates ranging from 3.9% among individuals aged 55-64 to a huge 92.6% in those aged 80+. This age related trend really proves the growing burden of cataracts in ageing populations.
Asia represents a significant portion of the global cataract sufferers. India has made real progress increasing its cataract surgical rate from just over 700 operations per million by 2011. However, values change dramatically based on the region, particularly in rural and underserved areas. Whooping 15.2 million individuals. They also account for 39% of moderate to severe visual impairment, which means they affect about 78.8 million people.
As of 2025, cataracts are responsible for almost 45% of global blindness.4
Background: Cataract occurs when crystalline proteins in the lens partially unfold and subsequently aggregate.2 Cataract is the leading reason of blindness worldwide and is defined by the reason presence of lens opacities or loss of transparency. The most common symptoms of cataract are decreased contrast, colour disturbance and glare. 3
Homoeopathic medications help patients to avoid surgery and its side effects, which include infection, haemorrhage, and retinal detachment. Therefore, homoeopathic treatments for cataracts are advantageous for lens opacity and prevent the condition from worsening.
The most secure and organic method of treating cataracts is homoeopathy. Homoeopathic remedies can postpone or slow down the lens clouding process in the early stages of cataract development. Additionally, they aid in clearing up cataract-related vision haze. So we can avoid surgery and its negative consequences including bleeding, infection, and retinal detachment with homoeopathic treatment. 2
Keywords: Homoeopathic medications, crystalline proteins, homoeopathic treatments.
