Does propolis prevent cataracts?

Indeed cataracts when they progress (which they almost certainly will) can potentially cause poor vision. Usually cataract-related blindness is reversible, i. e. once the cataract is removed, vision should be restored. However, cataracts may indirectly or directly contribute to other problems such as glaucoma, which can cause IRREVERSIBLE BLINDNESS. It is important to find out if there is a risk of glaucoma and if the lens / cataract is associated with the risk. In some cases, early cataract surgery is recommended to reduce the risk of narrow angle glaucoma.

Certainly, the most common cataract we see is what we call senile cataract or age-related cataract and these affect people above the age of 60. At the same time, there are certain people, even in babies and young adults, who get cataracts. These are usually rarer and more related to trauma or pre-existing conditions. Usually, the overwhelming majority of patients with cataract are of the age group above 60.
