Disease of the elderly population
Experience shows that every natural lens is blurred over time and thus loses its original translucency. It is the result of aging, that is, slowing down and changing the metabolic processes in the body. Causes of cataracts may include eye injuries, previous eye surgery, ultraviolet radiation, sugar intake and long-term use of some drugs, such as corticosteroids. It can also occur in children and even in babies.

A lack of vitamin B2 causes cataracts
Studies have shown that lack of vitamin B (riboflavin) causes cataracts in humans and animals. A sufficient amount of riboflavin, used early, removes blur and allows your eyes to return to normal. Cataracts reappeared when vitamin B2 was again reduced to laboratory animals. Dr. Sidnestricker of the University of Georgia has proven that vitamin B2 is beneficial to people who are threatened by cataracts. He first experimented with vitamin A on a sample of 47 patients with different visual impairments. Eighteen of them had blurred vision that predominantly preceded the cataract, and six people suffered from a developed cataract. Although vitamin A is known as necessary for healthy eyes and as a successful agent in various eye conditions, 47 patients did not give the expected results.
Dr. Sidnestricker then prescribed 15 milligrams of vitamin B2 daily as the only treatment. He found surprising improvements in 24 hours. Practically, the feeling of tingling and other symptoms began to disappear in all subjects, such as itching, eye weakness, and poor vision. Respondents who did not feel better in the first 24 hours felt better the next 24 hours. After regular use of riboflavin (9 months), patients found that cataracts had receded and their eyes became perfectly normal. In order to prove the effectiveness of this riboflavin-based therapy, Dr. Sidstrakeer gave some of the cured patients poor food with riboflavin. The same symptoms soon reappeared and were again removed by giving vitamin B2.
