I was diagnosed with cataracts but don't want surgery. Can you cure cataracts without surgery?

Some people purport to have done so, but I have not seen convincing evidence.
I haven't found any drops, supplements, or oral medications that clear cataracts.
Luckily modern cataract surgery is a 10 minute procedure that requires little down time and quick recovery.
No. The cataracts will become more opaque and dense, which will restrict your eyesight. While some of the reduction in vision can be corrected by glasses, at some point removing the cataract will be the only solution.
