Cataracts are a common eye condition that develops with age. The traditional treatment is surgery, but surgery is not without risk. Studies show that 42% of people who undergo cataract surgery experience dry eye, 20% experience drooping eyelids, and even complications such as floaters. Therefore, trying natural remedies is a low-side-effect option.

- Eye tissues are highly sensitive to fluctuations in blood sugar ; a high-sugar diet can lead to oxidative stress , causing clouding of the lens of the eye.
- As we age, our bodies produce less endogenous antioxidants , leading to a decline in our protective abilities.
- High-carbohydrate diets, diabetes, and insulin resistance can all accelerate eye degeneration, including cataracts and macular degeneration.
