2. Cataracts (canine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cataracts_(canine)

   Canine cataract surgery involves small incisions in the cornea. The process is more intensive than in human cataract surgery, mainly due to the larger lens area in dogs than in humans which requires more power to break up the cataract, the need for general anesthesia, and post-operative care that involves anti-inflammatory medication and eye drops.

3. Scientists developed eye drops that help dissolve cataracts

   While they worked with human lenses in the lab, they also tested the drug on rabbits as well as on dogs with naturally occurring cataracts. The drug was successful in all three experiments, and ...

4. Cataract surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cataract_surgery

   Cataract surgery in small animals such as dogs and cats is a routine ophthalmic procedure with a success rate of around 90%, and is usually better for eyes with relatively recent cataract development. The presence of other ocular problems may reduce the success rate. Procedures are similar to those for humans.

5. Pirenoxine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirenoxine

   Pirenoxine (abbreviated PRX, trade name Catalin) is a medication used in the possible treatment and prevention of cataracts.. A report in the Inorganic Chemistry journal showed that in liquid solutions, pirenoxine could cause decreased cloudiness of a crystallin solution produced to mimic the environment of the eye.

6. Lanosterol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanosterol

   Lanosterol is under research for its potential as a therapeutic additive in eye drops to inhibit the aggregation of crystallin proteins and dissolve cataracts. [3] [4] However, supplemental lanosterol in eye drops appears to have limited solubility and poor bioavailability in the eye, and has not proved effective for inhibiting cataracts, as of ...

7. Manual small incision cataract surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manual_small_incision...

   Manual small incision cataract surgery (MSICS) is an evolution of extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE); the lens is removed from the eye through a self-sealing scleral tunnel wound. A well-constructed scleral tunnel is held closed by internal pressure, is watertight, and does not require suturing.
