A small number of adults and children with cataracts may benefit for a short time from eyedrops that widen (dilate) the pupil. These eyedrops increase the amount of light getting into the eye. They may also be used in children under age 2 who have cataracts, to prevent loss of vision until surgery can be done.

Medication Choices

Mydriatic eyedrops

What To Think About

There is currently no medication that will cure cataracts.
