What is the primary goal of medical therapy for cataracts?

Increase inflammation

Control inflammation

Cataracts are a lens opacity, and medications don’t reverse that opacity or restore vision directly. The main purpose of medical therapy in this context is to manage the eye’s inflammatory state and overall ocular health, which helps prevent progression and prepares the eye for potential surgery. Controlling inflammation reduces risks of complications and supports any planned cataract removal, since you can’t rely on drugs to directly improve vision from the cloudy lens. Increasing inflammation would worsen the condition, lowering intraocular pressure addresses glaucoma, and medications don’t directly make vision clear from a cataract.

Lower intraocular pressure

Improve visual acuity directly
