How are cataracts formed?
Cataracts are a condition where the lens of the eye becomes cloudy, which is related to the accumulation of oxidative stress. When the body's antioxidant capacity is insufficient to resist oxidation, the transparency of the lens gradually decreases.
Excessive sugar is one of the main sources. When blood sugar levels rise, some of the sugar entering the eye is converted into sorbitol. Sorbitol tends to accumulate in the lens, causing inflammation, glycation, and causing proteins to stick together with sugar, leading to lens opacity. It can also appear in the retina and myelin sheath cells, increasing water absorption in the eye, raising intraocular pressure, and making it prone to occur simultaneously with other eye diseases.
The cells in the anterior part of the lens still retain mitochondria. If exposed to a high-sugar environment for a long time, the mitochondria will produce a large number of oxides, which will further damage the clarity of the lens.

Improvement directions and feasible methods
Stop consuming sugar
Reducing sorbitol accumulation and glycation reactions is the first step in improvement.
Canosin's antioxidant and anti-glycation properties
Carnosine helps regulate pH balance, has antioxidant properties, reduces glycation, and supports lens stability. However, carnosine itself has difficulty penetrating the eye, so it needs to be combined with N -acetyl to form N - acetylcarnosine, which is then administered via eye drops to reach the desired location.
Related studies show that turbidity improves after using a 1% concentration for five months. You can search for well-regarded N- acetylcarnosine eye drops, applying 1-2 drops to each eye 2-3 times daily .
Supplement with zinc
Zinc itself has antioxidant properties and is also an element required for NAC to function in the body. Supplementation is mainly through oral administration.
The time required for improvement varies from person to person, ranging from several weeks to several months, and the effectiveness is affected by the degree of cataracts and individual physical condition. The method itself has low risk and low cost, making it a direction worth trying.

Conclusion: Establish eye protection by starting with daily habits
Cataract formation is closely related to sugar, oxidative stress, and glycation. Reducing sugar intake, supporting the antioxidant system, and using ingredients with anti-glycation capabilities can create a more stable environment for the lens. While not everyone can achieve complete reversal, there are simple ways to protect the eyes.
