[Is there a drug treatment for cataract?].
The formation of lens opacities in older people, generally known as senile cataract, is due to multifactorial processes. The interactions of age changes (for instance by postsynthetic molecule transformation of lens proteins) and additional risk factors condition the various forms of opacities and the wide range in age of manifestation. This means that they also represent a working point for a drug treatment aiming at inhibition of such risk factors, thereby inhibiting the formation of opacification or delaying the progress of already existing opacities.
