I had cataract surgery several years ago and now I am getting thickening of the posterior capsule after cataract surgery. Somehow I think that if my eyes have learned how to make cataracts, and then have learned how to make thickening of the posterior capsule, surely they should be able to learn how to unmake them. I know the laser surgery available and I would like to try other things first. Do you know of anything or anywhere I might get hope, ideas, etc that will lead me in the direction I want to go?
Oxidation is the core cause of cataracts, and anti-oxidants are the treatment. This includes the commonly known vitamins C, E and beta-carotene. Lutein, zeaxanthine and other carotenoids may also prove even more useful, since they are found in the lens of the eye to provide anti-oxidant protection.
Dr. Jonathon Wright sells a glutathione ophthalmic solution that may be the most effective anti-oxidant for the eye that I have seen. After surgical repair of the cataract, which means the lens of the eye has been replaced, thickening of the capsule around the lens is a common complication. I can only assume that taking anti-oxidants to reduce inflammation after surgery will give you the best chance of avoiding this complication.
My doctor says I can get all the vitamins and minerals I need from my food. What is your opinion on this?
I used to say the same thing to my patients, back in the days before I studied healthy alternatives. It is the party line of allopathic medicine, although that is starting to change. Here's the bottom line, and I'll follow up with some info on what allopaths are now doing:
