yeah i have cataracts too, but they are really the least of my worries lol you may want to have them removed, its a very simple procedure, only reason i havent is because the glaucoma has already gotten so bad that my eye doctors didnt really see a point. but i will keep this updated, even if it will help just one person thats good enough for me!feel free to post what you experience also.... we can help each other bro! ... eye problems dont stop us from doing anything man ... i learned at the dept of the blind that blind people can do anything a sighted person can do. main reason i use this plant is because the eye drops they give me to control my glaucoma burns like someones holding a torch to my eyes, for like an hour or long.... and i have to do it 3 times a day 2 different kinds of eye drops .... this lovely plant here doesnt hurt at all. the itching is gone.... the feeling of pressure behind my eyes is gone and the watering is gone and they feel some what normal .... all while not forcing me to suffer through an hour of pain per drop .... the eye doctor asked me do my eyes hurt .... my responce was "mainly when i use those drops of lava you gave me to put in them" lol ....
