The lens is a clear tissue located behind the pupil - the dark circular opening in the middle of the iris or colored part of the eye. Other causes may include injury, chronic eye disease, and other system-wide diseases such as diabetes. More than half the people over age 65 have some degree of cataract development. During cataract formation the normal protective mechanisms are unable to prevent free radical damage. The lens, like many other tissues of the body, is dependent on adequate levels and activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, glutathione (GSH), and adequate levels of the accessory antioxidants vitamins E and C and selenium, to help prevent free radical damage. Many natural doctors believe that the progression of early cataracts can be stopped. Vitamin and mineral formulations developed in France as a result of over twenty-five years of additional research are also explained, including case histories, and exact formulations.
