Bed wetting, medically termed Nocturnal Enuresis, is the involuntary passing of urine during sleep bA cataract is a clouding or opacity of the eye’s natural lens, located behind the iris and pupil, which leads to blurred or dim vision. Normally, the lens focuses light onto the retina for clear vision; however, when it becomes opaque, light cannot pass through properly, resulting in gradual vision loss.

Cataract is one of the leading causes of reversible blindness, especially in the elderly. It develops slowly and painlessly, affecting one or both eyes.

Common causes and risk factors:

• Ageing – most common cause (senile cataract)
• Diabetes mellitus
• Prolonged exposure to sunlight or UV rays
• Eye injuries or trauma
• Long-term steroid use
• Smoking and alcohol consumption
• Genetic predisposition or congenital cataract

Symptoms include:

• Blurry, hazy, or cloudy vision
• Faded colors and poor night vision
• Glare or halos around lights
• Frequent changes in eyeglass prescription
• Double vision in one eye
• Difficulty reading or driving, especially at night

If untreated, cataracts may lead to complete visual impairment, but timely management can restore sight.

Homeopathy offers a gentle, non-surgical, and holistic approach to cataract management, particularly in early or slowly developing cases. Remedies are chosen based on the underlying cause, type of opacity, general constitution, and associated symptoms.

The aims of treatment are to:

• Slow or arrest the progression of lens opacity
• Improve clarity of vision and reduce glare
• Address underlying metabolic or systemic causes (like diabetes or aging)
• Support overall eye health and vitality

While advanced or mature cataracts may require surgical intervention, homeopathy is especially beneficial in incipient or early-stage cataracts, and as post-operative support.t / Management
