What are some alternative cataract treatment methods?

Surgery/no surgery: These are the only management options. Cataract surgery can be delayed until vision loss interferes with lifestyle. Glasses can sometimes improve thew vision somewhat.

Surgery: Once the vision is bad enough. Glasses can temporarily help vision but it comes down to surgery or not seeing.
