Cataracts in Pets
Cataracts are a common eye condition that may occur in pets of all ages, though they are more frequently seen as pets grow older.
A cataract often appears as a blue-gray or cloudy tint in the lens of the eye. The lens itself is enclosed in a capsule; as older lens cells die, they can become trapped inside this capsule.
Over time, these accumulated cells cause the lens to appear cloudy or opaque, leading to blurred or fuzzy vision.
While cataracts are generally not painful, they can significantly reduce visual clarity, especially at night, and may eventually result in nearsightedness.
In addition to age, cataracts may also be associated with metabolic concerns (such as diabetes mellitus), inherited factors, or degenerative retinal conditions.
SET OF
Educational Purposes
Eye Health Support
From a supportive care perspective, traditional wellness systems have emphasized the importance of delivering key nutrients to the eye to encourage circulation and maintain healthy tissues.
Historically, this has been considered one of the main approaches to slowing changes linked to cataract development.
Educational Purposes Changes to the eye such as cataracts, PRA (Progressive Retinal Atrophy), or maculopathy may affect clarity, brightness, and overall vision. Traditionally, certain natural plant and mineral preparations have been valued for their associations with supporting healthy eye tissue, circulation, and resilience of the nervous system.
This carefully selected 4 Set brings together remedies historically linked with:
-
Eye clarity – traditionally referenced for cloudy or opaque lenses.
-
Retinal and optic nerve balance – historically used in cases of gradual vision change.
-
Nervous system support – traditionally associated with resilience and comfort in sensitive tissues.
-
Overall eye wellness – traditionally valued for maintaining circulation and vitality around the eyes.
These uses reflect historical and traditional knowledge rather than modern scientific evidence.
Educational Notes on Eye Health Support
-
Eye Vitamin 76-2 Formula
If using this formula and no improvement is noticed within 3 months, it may suggest that the cause is more systemic in nature rather than localised to the eye itself.
-
Distinguishing Lens Changes
When the eye takes on a cloudy bluish-grey appearance, this may reflect nuclear sclerosis, a natural age-related change in the lens. In such cases, specific cataract remedies are generally not considered necessary.
-
Choroidal & Retinal Atrophy / Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
Traditional texts have referenced various natural substances in relation to retinal and macular changes:
-
Secale:
Referenced by Dr. Johann A. Miller, who reported positive outcomes in age-related macular degeneration. Traditionally, homeopathic Secale has been used in low potency, especially where individuals showed general patterns such as being worse in heat and better in cold.
-
Carboneum Sulphuratum (Bi-sulphide of Charcoal, 30C):
Referenced by Dr. Andrew Lange, ND, who reported cases of improvement in early macular degeneration when this was used daily, noting reduction of drusen and pigmentary changes.
Importance of Diet for Eye Health
Canines
-
Reducing excessive protein (particularly meat) intake may help in balancing blood sugar, which in turn is linked to eye health concerns such as cataracts.
Suggested feeding:
-
30% Meat with rest pureed cooked vegetables.
-
Fruits (non-citrus, no sultanas) may be given separately from meat meals as snacks. The natural sugars in fruit are generally well-tolerated and provide energy for brain and body function.
-
Avoid commercial junk foods such as standard wet and dry feeds, as many contain 56–70% carbohydrates/sugars that may contribute to blood sugar imbalances. e.g that may contribute to obesity, diabetes amongst others.
Felines
-
Cats thrive on a diet rich in high-quality fresh raw protein (both white and red meats).
-
Avoid commercial junk foods (wet or dry) that often contain 56–70% carbohydrates/sugars, which are not suitable for feline physiology.
e.g that may contribute to obesity, diabetes amongst others.
