Beware of this: if intense pain, sudden loss of vision, new flashes of light, or a curtain-like shadow appears, then urgent medical attention is required.
And now comes the part that many people want to avoid, but which can change everything.
This does help when cataracts are already affecting your daily life.

If cataracts are already affecting your daily life, the treatment that can truly restore clear vision is cataract surgery. In this procedure, the ophthalmologist removes the cloudy lens and, in many cases, implants an intraocular lens.
This doesn’t mean everyone needs surgery immediately. The decision depends on how much it’s affecting your daily life. But it does mean one thing very clearly: onions for cataracts are not a substitute for a professional evaluation.
