For the treatment of cataracts, the curative method is surgery, as medications generally do not have a curative effect. For early-stage cataracts, medications can control the condition. However, for advanced cataracts, medications are essentially ineffective. Currently, there is no specific drug for treating cataracts, and surgery is the best option. The common surgical methods for cataract are: 1. Intracapsular cataract extraction; 2. Phacoemulsification; The modern technique of extracapsular cataract extraction combined with the implantation of an artificial lens has become the most widely used surgical method and is also a relatively mature technique.
