Key Supplements
- Vitamin C 500-1000mg/day (lens has high vitamin C concentration, antioxidant, reduces progression—some studies show 30-45% lower risk with supplementation)
- Vitamin E 400 IU (antioxidant, protects lens proteins—mixed evidence, some studies show benefit)
- Lutein 10-20mg/day + Zeaxanthin 2-4mg/day (carotenoids filter blue light, antioxidant—reduce cataract risk 20-30% in studies)
- N-Acetyl-Carnosine (NAC) eye drops (marketed as 'Can-C'—controversial, some studies show improvement in early cataracts, others show no benefit, expensive, not FDA-approved, mixed evidence)
- Alpha-Lipoic Acid 300-600mg/day (antioxidant, may slow progression)
- Bilberry Extract 160mg 2x/day (anthocyanins, antioxidant)
Key Lab Markers
- Slit Lamp Examination (direct visualization of lens—identifies cataract type, location, severity)
- Visual Acuity (Snellen chart—20/20 to 20/400, determines functional impact)
- Glare Testing (assesses functional vision—cataracts cause glare, halos, difficulty with night driving)
- Contrast Sensitivity (cataracts reduce contrast—functional impairment not captured by Snellen chart)
