There were a dozen or so successful cataract reversal eyedrops
developed since 1960, backed by solid research. Most had demonstrated safety and effectiveness in vitro, and one has done so in human clinical trials.
The researchers who made these discoveries were chemists, biochemists and biophysicists from world-renowned universities. Interestingly, ophthalmologists were hardly ever involved in the development of these eyedrops. The result is that surgery is the only option we have to deal with cataract today.
In one Internet forum, when somebody else complained about the current situation, a cataract surgeon replied, "No one is forcing you to have cataract surgery". No? Well, if all the other alternative treatments were never implemented, and we refuse surgery, then what other choice do we have? Partial or total blindness?
If that isn't equivalent to "forcing us to have surgery" - then I don't know what is!
We have read that there were many ways to reverse cataract and restore vision without resorting to surgery. Firstly, the light therapy used to cure thousands of patients by Dr. William Luftig from 1930-1965 using large optical reflectors made of crystal glass, or the light therapy used by Dr. Robert Brooks-Simpkins, using his "Fixoscope" in the 1970's, and secondly, the long list of eyedrops which were developed since the 1960's up to the present day, some of which had successful clinical trials (C-KAD completed Phase II clinical trials in 2009). In addition, thirdly, countless cataracts were cleared without surgery by Dr. Stanley Evans, a nutritional optometrist who practised for many decades. Most patients would have preferred any of these options to surgery.
But we still haven't answered the question of "Why" the eye profession did not implement any of them in clinical practice, instead choosing to ignore all of them and offer invasive surgery as the sole and only option to treat cataract. I invite all Curezone readers to post their reasons as to "Why", despite the reality of proven nonsurgical options - two of which had already been practised for decades in the past - this situation has existed for almost 100 years, and continues to exist today.
