How CBD can help for Cataracts
What are Cataracts ?
Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness and visual impairment around the world, accounting for approximately 40% of global blindness.
A cataract is a clouding of the lens turning the lens from clear to yellow, brown or even milky white. This blocks the light from passing into the eye. Over time, the cataract blocks more and more light entering the eye, causing vision loss and eventually blindness.
Most of us believe that vision impairment is an inevitable part of aging. Our eyesight naturally begins to fail, and we become more susceptible to ocular health problems such as cataracts and glaucoma and increasing at age 40.
There are a number of factors that can cause or increase the risk of developing cataracts. These include:
- Age
- Genetic disorders
- Eye injury
- Smoking
- Exposure to U.V. light
- Diabetes
- Obesity
- Uveítis
To decrease the risk of developing cataracts or to delay its onset, it is recommended to stop smoking, limit exposure to ultraviolet light and maintain a healthy body weight.
Different Types and Symptoms of Cataracts
Having a cataract is like seeing a dirty stain on a window. As this dirty spot gets bigger, you can see less and less until you can’t see anything anymore. There are different types of Cataracts:
- Nuclear Cataracts ( affect the center of the lens). It is at first cause more nearsightedness or even a temporary improvement in your reading vision. But with time, the lens gradually turns more densely yellow and further clouds your vision.
- Cortical Cataracts (affect the edges of the lens). Begins as whitish, wedge-shaped opacities or streaks on the outer edge of the lens cortex. As it slowly progresses, the streaks extend to the center and interfere with light passing through the center of the lens.
- Posterior Sub-capsular Cataracts ( affect the back of the lens). Starts as a small, opaque area that usually forms near the back of the lens, right in the path of light. Often interferes with your reading vision, reduces your vision in bright light, and causes glare or halos around lights at night. These types of cataracts tend to progress faster than other types do.
- Congenital Cataracts (You were born with it). Some people are born with cataracts or develop them during childhood. These cataracts may be genetic, or associated with an intrauterine infection or trauma.
Cataract symptoms include:
- Cloudy or blurry vision
- Squinting or closing your eyes in response to bright light.
- Headaches that develop from bright light
- Halos and glare in the field of vision.
According to the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness, there are around 12 million people living with blindness. And another 50 million with mild to severe vision loss caused by this totally preventable condition.
Traditional Treatment and Alternatives for Cataracts
Unfortunately, at this time there is little, if any, reliable scientific research on any cannabinoid for the treatment of cataracts. According to the most reliable sources, the only treatment option is eye cataract surgery ; there is no recognized alternative therapy for cataracts.
Cataract surgery involves removing the clouded lens and replacing it with a clear artificial lens. The artificial lens, called an intraocular lens, is positioned in the same place as your natural lens. It remains a permanent part of your eye.
That surgery is generally done on an outpatient basis, which means you won’t need to stay in a hospital after the surgery. During cataract surgery, your eye doctor uses a local anesthetic to numb the area around your eye, but you usually stay awake during the procedure.
Although it is generally safe, it could carry a risk of infection and bleeding. Also increases the risk of retinal detachment. After the procedure, you’ll have some discomfort for a few days. Healing generally occurs within a few weeks.
It is natural to seek alternative treatments and preventive therapies to treat eye diseases and age-related degeneration. That’s why cannabidiol (CBD) for eye health is an increasingly popular option.
How can CBD Oil help for Cataracts?
Studies show CBD Oil can benefit people who undergo eye surgery for cataract removal or for postoperative recovery eye problems. After all, CBD is a known anti-anxiety medication and can help patients overcome fear and anxiety before the operation. In addition, CBD is a powerful anti-inflammatory agent and can be beneficial during the recovery phase.
Cannabinoids, such CBD oil, may be the next leap for eye care that our rapidly aging society has been waiting for. Research teams around the world are exploring the potential medicinal benefits of cannabinoids to reduce eye pressure caused by glaucoma. As well as many other eye-related health problems, such as loss of vision and improved communication channels between the brain and the eyes.
