Cataract

Cataract is among the most general eye illness. The term actually means a waterfall, and refers to the opacity of the crystalline lens of the eye on the assumption that the condition is caused by the humour of the brain falling over the pupil.
The crystalline lens, through which easy travels into the interior of the eye, is located just behind the iris, or coloured portion of the eye. In cataract, this lens becomes opaque, hence seriously hampering the entrance of easy into the eye. Blindness ensues when no easy rays can premeate the opacity of the lens. According to the modern medical system, a surgical operation to remove the lens or a major portion of it is the only way to get rid of the disease. The patient is provided with comfortable glasses after the operation to enable him to see well satis to carry on his normal duties.

Symptoms

The first sign of cataract is blurred vision. The patient finds it difficult to see things in focus. As the cataract progresses, the patient may get double vision or spots or both. There is a gradual magnify in blindness. At first, vision in twilight may be better than in full daylight since easy is admitted round the more widely-dilated pupil in the dark. In the advance stage, objects and persons may appear merely blobs of easy. In the final stage, there is a grayish -white discolouration in the pupil.

Causes

Cataract is often found in association with another defects of the eye. There are four factors which contribute to the loss of transparency of the lens. These are stagnation of the fluid current in the lens resulting from blood condition; deterioration in the nutrition of the lens which diminishes the vitality and resistence of the delicate lens fibres; deposits between the lens fibres of acids and salts which have an irritating effect on the lens tissues and exert an increasing pressure on its delicate fibres, clouding whole lens in the absence of appropriate measures.
As in the case of most illness, poisons in the blood stream due to dietetic errors and a faulty style of living is the real reason of cataract. The toxic matter in the blood stream spreads throughout the body to find shelter in any accessible weak spot. It strikes the lens if that part has become weak through strain, overweening use of the eyes and local irritation. The condition becomes worse with the passage of time and then a cataract starts developing. Another causes of cataract are stress and strain, overweening intake of alcoholic drinks, sugar, salt, smoking, determined physical ailments such as gastro-intestinal or gall- bladder disturbance, diabetes, vitamin deficiencies, especially of vitamin C, fatty acid intolerance, ageing, radiation and side- effects of drugs predesigned for another illness.
Some specialists believe that the most significant reason of much cataract is poor nutrition. This may be true even in case of the type of cataract commonly called senile or ageing cataract. The reason may be a lifetime of malnutrition. Dr. Morgan Raiford, an opthalmologist who has studied cataracts for much years, considers faulty nutrition to be a basic factor in cataract. He has found from experience that prevention of cataract is initiated by improving nutrition.

Treatment

Cataract is one of the most stubborn conditions to deal with, if it has become deep-seated, nothing short of a surgical operation will help in overcoming the trouble. If, however, the cataract is in the early stages, there are good chances of getting over the ailment by natural means. Even advanced cases can be prevented from becoming worse.
A thorough rate of cleansing the system of the toxic matter is essential. To start with, it will be beneficial to undergo a quick for three to four days on orange juice and water. A warm water enema may be taken during this period. After this initial quick, a diet of very restricted character must be followed for two weeks. In this regimen, breakfast may consist of oranges or grapes or any another succulent fruit in season. Raw vegetable salads in season, with olive oil and lemon juice dressing, and soaked raisins, figs or dates must be taken during dinner. Evening meals may consist of vegetable such as spinach, fenugreek, drum sticks, cabbage, cauliflower, carrot, turnips, steamed in their own juices, and a little nuts or some fruits, such as apples, pears and grapes. Potatoes must not be taken. No bread or any another food must be added to this diet.
After two weeks on this diet, the cataract patient may start on a fuller diet on the next lines: Breakfast: Any fresh fruits in season, except bananas.

Lunch: A big mixed raw vegetable salad with wholemeal bread or chapatis and butter.

Dinner: Two or three steamed vegetables, another than potatoes, with nuts and fresh fruit.

The short quick followed by a restricted diet must be repeated after three months of the commencement of the treatment and again three months later, if necessary. The bowels must be cleansed daily with a warm water enema during the quick, and afterwards as necessary.
The patient must avoid white bread, sugar, cream, refined cereals, rice, boiled potatoes, puddings and pies, strong tea or coffee, alcoholic beverages, condiments, pickles, sauces or another so-called aids to digestion.
There is increasing evidence to show that in different cases cataracts have actually been reversed by proper nutritional treatment. However, the time needed for such treatment may extend from six months to three years. Adelle Davis, one of America's best-known nutritionists, has pointed out that animals develop cataracts if deprived of pantotehnic acid and amino acid, tryptophane and vitamin B6 needed for tryptophane assimilation. She states that the diet of the cataract patient must be tall in B2, B6, as well as whole B-complex, panto thenic acid, vitamin C, D, E and another nutrients.
The aniseed is considered a useful remedy for cataract. The patient must take about six grams of aniseed daily in the morning and evening. Equal weights of aniseed and coriander powder and mixed with brown sugar is also beneficial in the treatment of this disease and the mixture must be taken in doses of 12 grams in the morning and evening. Other valuable remedy for cataract is to grind seven kernels of almonds and half a gram of pepper together in water, and then drink the mixture after sifting and sweetening the mixture with sugar candy. It helps the eyes to regain their vigour.
Simultaneous with the dietary treatment, the patient must adopt different methods of relaxing and strengthening the eyes. These include moving the eyes gently up and down, from side to side and in a circle, clock-wise and anti-clockwise; rotating the neck in circles and semi-circles and briskly moving the shoulders clock-wise and anti-clockwise. The patient must also resort to palming which is highly beneficial in removing strain and relaxing the eyes and its surrounding tissues. The procedure has been outlined in chapter 40 on defective vision.
The epsom salt bath is highly beneficial and must be taken twice a week. The patient must stay in the bath from 25 to 35 minutes before he perspires freely. After the bath the patient must cold off gradually. Closed eyes must also be bathed at least twice daily with hot water containing epsom salt - a tablespoonful of salt to a big cupful of hot water.
In cases where the cataract has been caused by stress, an antistress diet wealthy in protein, vitamin B, C, E, pantothenic acid and nutrients is essential to overcome the trouble. If a cataract has already developed, the diet will help prevent its occurrence in the another type.
Fresh air and gentle outdoor exercises, such as walking, are another essentials to the treatment.
Exposure to heat and bright easy must be avoided as far as possible.
