Other possible causes are injuries or diseases such as diabetes, kidney diseases, glaucoma and high blood pressure. Though none of these symptoms necessarily mean you have a cataract, if you experience one or more you should have your eyes examined. The only treatment for a cataract is surgical removal. Diet cannot be used as a treatment nor are there any drops or other medicines that can be used. Patients usually choose, and ophthalmologists usually recommend, that cataracts be removed at the point where visual Blurred vision impairment interferes with the daily activities of living, such as driving a car or reading.
Cataract surgery is a common procedure performed regularly.
Today, there is little reason for a person with cataracts to go untreated. One eye, or occasionally both, may turn in, out, up or down. The condition may be present at birth, or it may become apparent at a later age because of illness or accident. The deviation cannot be outgrown, nor does it usually heal by itself. Sometimes, however, the family history does not turn up any relatives with the problem and strabismus occurs unexpectedly.
