U-V Protection: Many congenital cataracts do not progress, or progress very slowly. To help keep that progression under control, there are 2 things you can control that are study-proven. Smoking causes cataract progression, so if you smoke....One more reason to quit. We also know that ultraviolet light is a problem. So use sunglasses and hats to limit u--v exposure.

None: Congenital cataract mandates thorough investigation. It may be an isolated finding but may also be a part of multiple anomalies or a part of congenital infection.

None: Cataracts are a structural change in the natural lens of the eye frequently disturbing vision. Congenital ones are those present at birth - some minor but others larger causing disturbance of vision. For those, treatment may be advised to preserve vision. No "natural" remedies exist. See your pediatric ophthalmologist for advice.

No: There are no natural treatments at this point. If surgery is indicated then that is the only option or do nothing.
