Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi
Welcome to HCM

If cataracts are not causing any problems, immediate treatment may not be necessary.
Instead, your child may only need regular check-ups to monitor their vision.
If your child's vision is affected by cataracts, they will usually need to have surgery to remove the cloudy lens (or lenses) followed by the long-term use of glasses or contact lenses.
Homeopathy has no role to play in treatment of cataract. Over the counter homeopathic eye drops available in the market do not do any good and lengthen the process of cataract maturation causing further problem to the patient for a longer duration. Homeopathy is not recommended in the cases of cataract.
