If cataract is bad enough to prevent normal functioning, surgical removal of the affected lens may be necessary- this makes the eye long-sighted, but this can be corrected by placing a plastic lens in the eye or wearing spectacles or contact lenses.

If no improvement within 2 months, consult your homeopath
