What are some anti-cataract solutions?
8 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Mostly none: No diet, supplement or personal habits have been shown to effect cataract formation or development. The only known thing to avoid is excessive sunlight which accelerates cataract formation. Everything else has been thoroughly tested with no positive results.

Postpone: As per a study in London, only low carb diets and sunglasses can postpone cataract formation, but nothing can STOP it. It's part of normal aging.
