The Role of Oxidative Stress in Cataracts

Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the development of cataracts. The cloudiness or opaqueness of the lens is caused by oxidation, which is similar to rusting. Too much sugar in the blood leads to high levels of sugar in the eye, causing one-third of it to convert to sorbitol. Sorbitol accumulates in the lens, creating inflammation and glycation, resulting in the cloudiness. Mitochondria, which are present in the lens during early stages of life, tend to decrease with age, making the cells in the anterior part of the eye more susceptible to damage from high sugar levels. This damage leads to oxidation, free radicals, and inflammation.

In this podcast, we’re going to take a look at a simple natural solution for cataracts. Cataracts can be described as cloudiness or opaqueness of the lens of the eye. They are the number one cause of blindness and are typically treated with surgery.

Too much oxidative stress can lead to cataracts. Oxidative stress occurs when there’s too much oxidation in the body and not enough antioxidants.

Too much oxidation in the eye mainly stems from sugar consumption. If you have too much sugar in your blood, four main tissues are affected: the nerves, kidneys, arteries, and eyes.

Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol that creates inflammation and glycation—and it tends to accumulate in the eye, creating cloudiness.

Sorbitol can affect the retina of the eye and the cells that compose the myelin in your nerves. It can also increase the pressure in your eye, contributing to conditions like glaucoma.

If you have cataracts, you need to change your diet and eliminate sugar. There is also another solution that may help.

L-carnosine is a powerful antioxidant that works within the mitochondria and has anti-glycation and anti-aging effects. It also acts as a pH buffer.

L-carnosine is an excellent option for the prevention and reversal of cataracts, but on its own, it can’t penetrate the eye. N-acetylcarnosine (NAC) is a compound that allows carnosine to penetrate the eye.

Research has shown promising effects of using a one percent solution of NAC for conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration.

Try using one to two drops of N-acetylcarnosine in each eye two to three times per day. Also, try taking NAC with zinc. Zinc is a powerful antioxidant and is important for NAC to be properly utilized in the body.
