Have you ever tried honey-containing eye medication ?
I was told that there was eye medication that can cure you of cataract. I happened to search for it at nearby medicine stores and I found it and bought it. I tried and and ouch! It was so sore in the eyes. No wonder many people would rather not use it. Have you ever tried eye drops containing honey?

@yanzalong I never put anything in my eyes without the approval of my eyes doctor, I have glaucoma and I do not want to risk to become blind.

@yanzalong it is safe if the medications we are using were prescribed by a doctor.. though it costs us money as payment for the check up but still it's better to be safe than not...

I would think honey might damage your eyes! I'm not aware of any medicine that can cure cataracts, only surgery.

Eyedrops containing Manuka honey are sold under the name of Optimel. They are of value in treating dry, itchy eyes and may help to get rid of infections. There is NO evidence whatsoever - and the product makes no such claims - that they will help with, prevent or cure cataracts.
Always consult a reputable doctor before using any medication like this and tell him/her if you you intend using it.
