Can cataracts be cured without surgery?

No. If the aging of the natural lens of the eye has reached a degree of hardness and discoloration that it significantly interferes with necessary visual tasks, surgery with a lens implant is necessary. Glasses changes in the early stages will help temporarily, though.

There are no drops or eye exercises that can reverse or cure cataracts.
