Browbie - As I said in a previous post, I do not think lanosterol or other sterols will have any impact at all on lens crystallins which are shackled to AGEs. But I found a paper from 2008 which almost proves for sure that an AGE-breaker eyedrop will reverse cataracts due to glycated crystallin - which means most senile cataracts. It is the most compelling evidence yet that cataracts can be cured worldwide without surgery:
Here, they used an AGE-breaker called "thiazolium bromide". It was able to restore the chaperone activity of alpha-crystallin which had been lost due to glycation by AGEs such as imidazolone, a brown pigment which gives the cataractous lens a brunescent color. Needless to say, nothing has been done with this or any other AGE-breaker since this successful work in 2008. Nor probably will anything ever be done with it, leaving cataract patients the usual ultimatum of having the surgery or losing their sight.
