Cataracts - Medications

A small number of adults and children with cataracts may benefit for a short time from eyedrops that widen (dilate) the pupil. These eyedrops increase the amount of light getting into the eye. They are sometimes used to help prevent vision loss in very young children who need to wait for surgery to be done.

Medication Choices

Mydriatic Eyedrops

What To Think About

There is currently no medicine that will cure cataracts.
