| Summary: | The lens is a transparent tissue without vessel, which is mainly composed of a layer of epithelium cells and differentiating fiber cells. With aging, lens opacity can deteriorate vision significantly and even result in blindness, which is termed as age-related cataract(ARC). A fully developed treatment method of ARC is surgery, while a few cataracts in the initial stage can be suppressed via drugs efficiently.This paper introduced relevant drugs and important ingredients that can suppress and prevent ARC, and then summarizes clinical applications and existing researches with respect to drug treatments in the process of cataract suppression and treatment. |
