And the number of people suffering from cataracts is only going to rise. The most common form of cataract is the senile cataract i.e. a cataract that is due to the aging process. As more and more people are living longer and longer, the number of people affected by senile cataracts is simply going to keep on increasing.

Until now the only treatment that has been available has been cataract surgery - although this is only offered once a person’s cataracts have developed to such a point that their vision is being interfered with.  Around 10 million cataract operations are performed each year throughout the world with the most commonly performed type of cataract surgery being a procedure known as phacoemulsification.

Phacoemulsification involves making a very small incision in the surface of the eye through which an ultrasound probe is inserted. The probe emits ultrasonic vibrations which breakdown the cataract into tiny pieces. These tiny fragments are then suctioned out and the damaged lens replaced with an artificial lens known as an intraocular lens or IOL. If you are unlucky enough to have cataracts in both eyes then you will probably have both of your eyes operated on at the same time.

But even though phacoemulsification is relatively quick (usually less than 30 minutes to perform) , requires very little sedation and does not require any stitching to close the incision that has been made, there is no getting away from the fact that it is an invasive, surgical procedure that inevitably carries risk.

Fortunately now you have a choice. Cataract Eye Drops offer a ground breaking alternative to surgery. For the first time cataracts can be treated simply with the use of daily carnosine eye drops. With their unique formula, Can-C Eye drops have been specifically designed to provide a non-invasive treatment for senile cataracts that gently but effectively halt and reverse the progress of cataracts.  Even after only 1 month of treatment, the effects of Can-C carnosine eye drops are clearly visible - breaking down the damaged proteins that cause the cataracts. And as the growth of the cataracts is reversed in this way, so vision is improved.

And all without the need for surgery!
